Well-wishers hold candles in celebration of revered Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej's birthday at the city hall in Samut Prakan December 5, 2008. Thailand marked the king's birthday on Friday in a solemn mood, concerned for the health of the ageing monarch and worried as well over the country's debilitating political deadlock. King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who turned 81 on December 5, failed to deliver his annual birthday eve address at a time when many Thais had been looking to him to issue a call for unity after protests by People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) activists shut down Bangkok's main airport for a week.
