It is now part of the Trail of Thai Royalty in Massachusetts honoring Prince Mahidol and his royal family at Gloucester Inn-by-the-Sea on 85 Atlantic Road. This site now becomes the first site on the trail. In celebrating this special day together, we strive to further strengthen the longtime relationship of Massachusetts and Thailand. On August 25th we celebrated The Legacy of His Royal Highness Prince Mahidol of Songkla: A Century of Progress in Public Health and Medicine in Thailand by offering a medical and public health symposium at Harvard Medical School. More than 100 professionals in medical, public health and sciences from Thailand, out of states and locally joined this celebration.
