A Century of a
Beloved King's Legacy.
Join the King of Thailand Birthplace Foundation in commemorating one hundred years since the birth of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great — the only monarch in history born on American soil.
The 2027 Centennial Celebration
Four days of ceremony, music, and scholarship.
Our Mission
A Bridge Across Two Nations
Since 1998, the Foundation has preserved Royal Thai history across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York — where His Majesty’s family resided from 1916 to 1928 — and advanced medicine and public health in his honor.
From the Birthplace Monument at Harvard Square to the Thai Scholars Fellowship at Harvard, we ensure a remarkable chapter of shared history endures for generations to come.
