	TIME Magazine \| 60 Years of Asian Heroes: King Bhumibol Adulyadej

		Yet young Bhumibol steadily grew in stature, not least by launching over 3,000 royal projects to help the poor.
		Bhumibol also quietly counseled and sometimes openly cajoled governments, always urging them to put public interest first.

	Powell's Books - The King Never Smiles: A Biography of Thailand's Bhumibol Adulyadej by Paul M. Handley
		The King Never Smiles, the first independent biography of Thailand's monarch, tells the unexpected story of Bhumibol's life and sixty-year rule—how a Western-raised boy came to be seen by his people as a living Buddha, and how a king widely seen as beneficent and apolitical could in fact be so deeply political and autocratic.
		Bhumibol, ninth king of the Chakri Dynasty and the first American-born Thai monarch, took power in 1946 during a time when being king was not the most desirable job in the country.
		While rendered politically weak by the coup and subsequent power struggles, Bhumibol has quietly salvaged the relevance of the monarchy while maintaining the image of bodhittsava-like figurehead, a tricky and necessary accomplishment for a country balanced between modernity and ancient Buddhist and Hindu tradition.
