Two Thai boxers, fresh from their victories in the Atlanta games, have given their Olympic medals away.
The medals were presented to the King of Thailand as a commemorative gift for his fiftieth anniversary on the throne.
The sporting heroes were honoured by the monarch as a credit to their country.
Gold medallist Somluck Kamsing and bronze medallist Vichai Rachanont, still flush with their Olympic boxing success, were granted an audience with His Majesty the King at the Chitralada Palace on Saturday evening.
The King praised the Thai boxing team and told them they deserve recognition for an historic sporting achievement which has enhanced Thailand's reputation abroad.
The monarch rewarded both Somluck and Vichai with a copy of his latest work of translation - the Mahajanaka - and a gold pendant, once the two had handed over their Olympic medals.
All boxers taking part in the Atlanta Games had promised to bring back any medals they won as a gift to His Majesty the King as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations for the 50th anniversary of his accession to the throne.

I have so much respect for the old king rather than the new king his son
Not to bash your words brother, my apologies but I myself have no respect at all for King Maha Vajiralongkorn, he's a real Royal by blood but he's not a real Loyal to the people of Thailand" 🙏🙏🙏 P.s forgive me and my words of opinion #ImCamboidan🇰🇭#FeelingThePainForThailandPeople🇹🇭
@@bebetterthenyesterday3333 to each is own my friend thats my opinion .
Why did they have to kneel? Why did they have to give away the medals? What a barbarian practice.
@@lepetitchat123 They OFFERED
@@lepetitchat123 its tradition and a respect to a royal,and if this is barbaric than look other monarch they do the same
Such a shame that you're don't even know even my brother know better than me and he's just 7year old
I admire King Rama IX of Thailand. Not only a King, he is also an engineer of agriculture who helped Thai people a lot with their lives. He deserves the love and the worship of his people. From Vietnam with love! I will visit Thailand again. Feels like a second home for me.
This is a very great honor for all sporter. Actually, instead of this very first Olympic gold medal of Thailand achieved by Somluck Kamsing, King Bhumibol rather than keep those medals, His Majesty the King gave all of them back to each sporter who achieved them from the Olympic Games.
I got more emotional seeing the king. A true king for the people.. now we're left with crap. This is a beautiful moment.
Agreed. Old king was the true king.
The old king raised the new king and didnt care about thailand enough to change the order of succession.
@@zb6070 should I say, Thailand could be Matriarch ? XD he got one of favourite daughter though, whom almost like a copy of his majesty himself. In terms of caring for people.
@@sleekslackYeah I think Princess Sirivannavari will succeed her father as The Queen of Thailand
King Bhumibol is a very down to earth king that is why he is so beloved by his nation. We miss him so much..
I like how they honor their king,
Why this is 🤮
This might seem bizarre to non-Thais but to present the Olympic medal to the King in return for a new medal from the King is a much much greater honor to these men, and will be heirlooms in for their entire family.
Besides this is just a ceremony. The King gave the medals back to them anyway. AND not to mention that it was their decision to present His Majesty with the medals to begin with.
@iireply
Slavery is using people's money for your own self and doing nothing is return..I'm wondering what do you guys consider the monarchy in a so called democratic country THE UK?
@@surajsingh1161 Brits don't respect their kings now...google up
The richest royal family (thai royal family), and most thais can't afford decent healthcare, don't get a good education(most thais don't even know about their govt role with the khmer rhouge), with corruption rife, its sad but true, and with lese majeste laws, nobody can question it, although most thais are brainwashed by the royal family.
why he bow down , his talent is nothing for that stupid king, he must bow down for that talented guy, its awful
@@tusharsagar52 but still respect them enough to keep there royatly status at least the queen is technically imune to prosecution and hold many theroritcal power she can wield but chose not to
Wow this is still happening in the 21th century amazing!
Everything can change but not love...yhe tradition still go on because they loved their king..But i cant guarantee with their new king
More like disgusting
This is 1996, check the description
Thailand is horrible right now …
@@SonicBlue302 it is
The current Thai king has spent more time outside of Thailand than inside this year.
@The Great One yeah he's Pussy hunter
@OMG OMG it's true u can see it on just search King rama by the pool
@OMG OMG haha no need cause i have my place for my knowledge i know you are Nationalism and i don't want to deal with you , i belaved what i saw and don't dare you to tell me fill my Brain. You IO
@OMG OMG Lol he called you nationalist. Is it true that thai people who support the king and do not support the king hate Laos, Cambodian, and Burmese people? I seen a few comments both side yellow shirt and black shirt supporter attacking other people from neighboring countries on social media and I find it disgusting.
@OMG OMG Interesting, yeah I don't understand why some of the black shirt supporters gotta be so racist on social media like facebook and instagram. The most comment I see in one of those platform are mostly hate messages against Cambodians. I find very appalling, I thought they would have some common sense not to attack their fellow neighbor.
The Olympic medalists in this clip are Somluck Khamsing who won Gold medal and Wichai Rachanon who won Bronze medal, both from Boxing from 1996 Olympic in Atlanta. Mr.Somluck was the first Thai gold medalist, and 1996 was the first Olympic which Thailand won more than 1 medal.
(Thailand made Olympic debut in 1952, won the first medal, Bronze from Boxing in 1976 and won the first Gold medal in 1996.)

Long live the Monarchy
Yes that's all right.
THboy10 Somluck Khamsing very popular in Malaysia... hes another my idols in muay 🥊🥊💪💪💪💪
Why can't they stand?
I live in the village where Somrak came from Nonsomboon near Khonkaen. He's very respected and loved around here!!
so much respect to the old king of thailand he so humble and a king for the people.
he was a good man
That lying down Namaskar is called अष्टाङ्ग प्रणाम (Asthang pranam) in India and it is done in front of dieties in temple.

this King deserves hellfire, not worship
@@TheTranceCartel ok go To Thailand and say this, if you have the guts. Lol
Doesn't surprise me gold medal for boxing, means so much to them being honored by the King. 🤠
Old Thai king was a good man. A king of the people. New king is terrible.
There are many dumbasses in comment saying it’s wrong or stupid to bow to the king. It’s an ancient tradition; Kings are said to be reincarnated gods. There’s no bad and good in this tradition; they do not get penalized or anything, at least during the reign of King Bhumibol. In that case, atheists would laugh at you if you believe in god. No disrespectful or hate speech, just to show difference in culture, religion, etc. You do not expect every countries to remain like westerns. Respect everyone, culture, tradition.
A country full of polite people. Wonderful hospitality. I was there last week
Piumal Premarathna their monarchy is oppressing.
yeah , so many pussy on they Country..
@@monkeylegacyonearth4831 thais love money and white skin. If you wanna see White privilege in action, go to bangkok.
@OMG OMG Then explains the ongoing riot on Thailand.
@OMG OMG end to thai monarchy is near. This will be the last king of Thailand. 🙂
I'm happy that I'm living in an independent country. I would never hail down to anyone not even to king lol😂. I'm independent..
Except the one And only Almighty God
I would bow to someone worthy of respect. But what respect does Bhumibol Adulyadej deserve? He destroyed the economy, destroyed democracy, "4000 Royal Projects" a waste of taxpayer money etc.
@@TheTranceCartel idk about him but if uou say so.. Yeah he be doing wrong things.
no one else is worth bowing other than god. and if u don't believe in him u don't bow to a human flesh and bone like you. it always been a wierd thing watching other cultures like japanese bowing for everyone highr than the.
@@Joseph-ki6wj The problem is there is a possibility there is no god. You may end up bowing an imaginary or non-existing being, which is no different than bowing to a rock.
@@txp158 lol just go away. You don't even sure that God doesn't exist either, hahahahaha.
One of the most popular, compassionate and beloved monarch of all time. As was our king of Nepal king birendra. Both will never be forgotten.
Lmao you may as well say "From one thug-worshipping despot to the next"
@@TheTranceCartel A foreigner trying to defame King Bhumibol , shame on you . You're not even Thai clown
Bring back your monarchy, you have the right to self determination
The fact that this 80 year old king sounds better then his son is horrible
Love you Great King......
🙏🙏💐🙏🙏
How humiliation of man can be honour of the king!
It is not humiliation, it is true respect to a man who protect the identity of entire nation.
I love thailand .... its food its culture its people ....beautiful
Thai Food? yakkkkkkk
@@Userisdeleted1 what i mean is - Thai Food Stinks, It Smells So Bad, Not only on their streets, even in those restaurants. I am not offending thai people, but as far as the Taste of Food is concerned, Thai, Hongkong & Korea Pathetic.
Long Live The King
Option a: mass produced medal
Option b: personal work and royal gift
Yeah, i gonna go with option b

It's influenced by buddhist culture
@IM O oops
Love king rama9
Dunno but It cringe me when people view other people higher because he/she has a blood of another important person
Its beyond retarded, to be honest.
But I guess it's just their culture.
Retarded culture, but culture nonetheless.
Respect...

no man a king
I really love this move. Give back capitalist's medal on fixed olympic games, and get a medal by king for representing your country.
Official slavery and treating people like animals. Respect is one thing slavery is something else
lol; ur country is shit.
คนเขาทําความดีจนได้จนได้ดี
Comments that do not respect others, indicate your life. That you don't have someone to teach you So you don't see the importance Of respect for others It's hard for people like this to understand. Maybe your life had no one respecting you before. But it doesn't mean that you can speak insult and courtesy, it looks nasty !
@OMG OMG ขอบคุณคะ
Respect is earned, not given.
Only retards would kiss someone's feet on the floor. Why would you do that? 😂
I doubt your King cares about Thai people.
I mean your country is uh... Poor. And a bit shīthole. Sorry.🙄
shut ur mouth, no one asked you to speak or for your judgemental lecture.

not just the king's feet, but you do it to your parents and grandparents as well to show respect.

In India also we have the same ancient culture.
@@devikakarmakar99 religion tradition!
@@ahhmad4477 it has nothing to do with religion. In modern day some people follow it some don't. It is a mark of respect not that one is stuping down.
love the tradition..
Amit vaswani it’s a tradition of oppression and injustice. There are countless people in Thailand serving sentences in prison for defaming and blasphemy against king. Even insulting a king’s dog could lead someone to jail. The people of Thailand want to get rid of it. Current king is abhorred and disliked by the masses.
Long live democracy and its people.
And monarchism
@@MrPugTV No, democracy can exist without a monarchy. Your comment is a distortion.
@@googleuser2609 what you're talking about? I know that Democracy can exist *without* a Monarchy

I don't understand
I'm crying, miss him so much.Our beloved King
Yup 👍!!! No doubt we was the finest and the best
It is a big omission that there is still no monument to His Majesty in Rajabhakti Park. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
Just stand its ezier
i wouldn’t get on the floor for any human being. especially not one who spends more time in Bavaria than the country he reigns over. needless to say he spends thai tax payer money prodigally and doesn’t care how his people perceive him.

Thai monarchy is the most oppressed and inhumane. Look at how many people are behind bars for insulting their so called king. In West there is freedom and free will. No body would go to jail for insulting Trump.

@@red-zi7fg who cares you mom?
@@red-zi7fg Such law was enacted by the national assembly and the government. The king had no say in the government after 1932, so please stop blaming him and his family. The law primarily serves as a mean to silence people opposite to the prime minister and his government for over 60 years.

Kneel down only to your creator the almighty merciful GOD,
They can see their king so they kneel. Can't say the same about god. :/
Kristoff Lopez “merciful”
LMFAOOOOOO
They are buddhist not christian you dumbshit
MORON, your creator and god does not exist. You brainwashed psychos kneel down and pray to an imaginary figure created by some bronze-age desert nomads. If your god does exist, he is not merciful at all. He massacres indiscriminately and let natural disasters kill millions. He created a food chain in which predators kill preys in a very cruel manner. Wake up, your god does not exist and the bible is collection of myths and fairy tales. Your legendary Jesus, whose story is 90% fictional, is long dead. Christianity is the greatest lie ever told, like Islam and Judaism, the three roots of all wars, hate, division, persecution, massacre, persecution, oppression, conflicts and violation of human rights.
Asians kneel down to express gratitude and respect to those who are kind and compassionate to us: our parents, our teachers and elders. You fools kneel down to the air and worship an imaginary violent, cruel, schizophrenic deity.
