- During the April 1959 visit of their Majesty the King and Queen to the Klai Kangwon royal place in the Hua Hin dictrict of Prachuab Kilikhan Province, His Majesty noticed the difficulties local people experienced just earning their dail living. Inspired by his own abilities to dffer practical assistance, he initiated a long-term project to solve the people's problems. From those early beginnings, there now exits a large number of royalty-initiated projects reaching all regions of the country supported by the construction of His Majesty's
"working palaces" in Chiang Mai, Sakon Nakhon and Narathiwat, to be used as regional headquarters. From these regional headquarters, His Majestty closely monitors and follows practically every step of a project during its implementation.
