BANGKOK, 2 May 2011 (NNT) -The Bureau of the Royal Household issued the announcement No.36 on His Majesty the King’s health condition, following his hospitalization at Siriraj with fever, fatigue and lung inflammation. All symptoms have been cleared and His Majesty has stayed at the hospital for physical rehabilitation.
