Sattahip military and government officials marked the
60th birthday of HRH the Crown Prince with the planting of 2,600 tress
in Ban Chang.
Royal Thai Navy Vice Adm. Chainarong Charoenrak
presided over the July 26 ceremony at the Bangpai Reservoir with Pravit
Thomwatho, abbot of Samnak Kathon Temple, and officials from Samnakthon
District attending.
Navy spokesman Capt. Hiran Nakthong said temple
officials had organized the planting of the cotton plants, which will be
harvested to make robes for monks to use in November’s Kathin ceremony.
The navy joined in to help the temple raise funds for a new hall, as
well as commemorate the prince’s July 28 birthday.
