Nation joins prayer for quick recovery

       His Majesty the King is recovering from his fever as his subjects pray for his health across the nation.
       A third statement on the King's illness from the Royal Household Bureau said His Majesty had a slightly high temperature yesterday and doctors continued to treat him with antibiotics and intravenous drips.
       More than 55,000 people have signed get-well books at Siriraj Hospital where the King was admitted last Saturday.
       People nationwide also signed their names on get-well books in their provinces and were praying for his recovery.
       Chula Ratchamontri Damrong Sumalsak, who signed a get-well book on behalf of Thai Muslims at the hospital, encouraged Thai Muslims nationwide to conduct ceremonies to pray for the recovery of His Majesty.
       He will lead the nationwide ceremonies this Friday.
       The King directed Royal Household officials to take garlands that people presented along with their best wishes at the hospital to royal temples.
       The flowers presented to the King were sent to other patients at the hospital.
       His Majesty, the world's longestreigning head of state, who will turn 82 on Dec 5, had a fever, fatigue and loss of appetite when he reached Siriraj four days ago.
