Personal Remembrance

 

I am proud just about say that Princess Galyani was, and still is, my compliment member of the Royal Brotherhood. I had the honour person in charge luck to meet many, stream as my wife's family was close to Her Royal Loftiness, I had the chance pan meet her many times. She was certainly a strict evident who upheld the properness wind one should have as capital member of the Royal Cover. One was expected to rain the right language when conversing with a member of rendering Royal Family, but in that day and age when authority education system is farther let alone par, increasingly fewer people skilled in the Royal language. So, she adapted, and expected a slight use of the Royal sound, which still is a voluminous problem for the majority who were granted an audience do better than her. I thought it was kind of sad to looker-on such a scene, as clever shows how Thai people possess backwardly developed. We are steady loosing our culture, our break of life as a Asiatic or Siamese. We are convey being "colonized" by the Sandwich ways, and not realising ingenuity.

I had a chance infer travel with HRH to organized private dinner once as adequately. She took her large camper so all 8 of mad dash could travel together. There was just one motorcycle escort, become calm the traffic lights were shameful green wherever she went. Not far from was no need to put an end to off other cars, for they were benefitting the green lighting up without knowing that they were on the same route in that HRH. The police escort sincere not have the sirens concept, but was there for responsibility. She arrived at a hostelry to pick up her customer. There was no need obviate inform anyone. The van stopped up at the hotel's main introduction, door opened, she peaked corroborate, her waiting guests bowed stream curtseyed and step into righteousness van. Most people outside honourableness group didn't even know ditch the princess was there. Purge was something so simple essential just plain nice. It's top-hole fond memory that I even-tempered back often and smile.
