December 5, 1927 – October 13, 2016

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, The King of Thailand.

His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand was the world’s longest serving constitutional monarch and the only Buddhist monarch in the world. He was respected and revered by the Thai people.

His legacy is one of love and kindness toward his people and will never be forgotten by them nor by Ajarn Chai Sirisute , President of the World Thai Boxing Association (Thai Boxing Association USA) Ajarn Dan Inosanto Vice President of the World Thai Boxing Association ( Thai Boxing Association, USA), Kru Paula and all of the members of the WTBA and The Inosanto Academy of Martial Arts.

Ajarn Chai Sirisute asks that his students past and present express their condolences on the World Thai Boxing Association facebook page.

WTBA will be reprinting the article that was done on His Majesty by the WTBA on the www.thaiboxing.com in the next couple of days so you may learn more about his incredible life and reign as King of Thailand. Please honor his life with your respectful posts on the World Thai Thai Boxing Association facebook page.
