The royal palace says the health of Thailand's 88-year-old King Bhumibol Adulyadej is improving, though he still has an infection.
The palace bulletin issued today said the fever, fatigue and occasional high blood pressure he was suffering earlier this week had eased, though a blood test found he still had an infection. He was being given two antibiotics intravenously and was also receiving oxygen and physical therapy.
Bhumibol is the world's longest-reigning monarch. His health has limited his participation in public affairs in recent times, and he has lived in a Bangkok hospital for most of the past six years.
