HM has served his people in many ways. One thing that deserves some more attention here is his starting of the so called "Royal Projects". The Royal Project in the field of Agriculture were started with the main aim to prevent farmers in the North to cultivate poppy flowers in order to make opium. HM The King has personally sorted out in his private gardens what alternatives there are (and sometimes he sadly failed by promoting alternatives that did not prosper after all in Northern Thailand). Most of these projects were -and are- successful, however.
For example: When you fly Thai Airways International, the coffee and tea you will get on board has been grown in the North of Thailand, in one of these Royal Projects.
