Chonburi honored HM the King’s pioneering work in rainmaking, which has continued this year in hopes of alleviating the continued serious drought.

Thailand has celebrated Nov. 14 each year as Father of the Royal Rainmaking Day. It marks the anniversary of the first deployment of a method devised by HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great to seed clouds with compounds that soak up moisture and eventually turn into rain.
