Singapore – October 24, 2016 – (travelindex.com) – Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his wife were received by ChooLeng Goh, the Singaporean General Manager of the Plaza Athénée Bangkok, A Royal Méridien Hotel. The Lees were staying at the hotel to commemorate the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej. In a Facebook post, Lee wrote: “I last met King Bhumibol in 2009 at the ASEAN Summit in Hua Hin, Thailand. He was an extremely gracious host and showed great interest in ASEAN programs to promote economic growth and development.”

His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej is considered the longest-reigning monarch. Loved and revered by his people to a degree few monarchs in history have achieved, he is known as the true "People's King." The hotel is located on the original site of the "Kandhavas Royal Palace," the residence of Her Royal Highness Princess Valaya Alongkorn, aunt of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
