01 AUGUST 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Thais buy the yellow flag of the Thai monarchy in front of Siriraj Hospital, before Bhumibol Adulyadej, the King of Thailand, left the hospital Thursday. The King, 85, was discharged from Bangkok's Siriraj Hospital, where he has lived since September 2009. He traveled to his residence in the seaside town of Hua Hin, about two hours drive south of Bangkok, with his wife, 80-year-old Queen Sirikit, who has also been treated in the hospital for a year.
