This gold-framed gift from the King of Thailand Birthplace Foundation to Gloucester on Aug. 30 at a city hall celebration of Gloucester’s designation on the "Trail of Thai Royalty in Massachusetts" shows Prince
Mahidol coming to Gloucester in 1916 on his way to studying public health at Harvard. He spent a lot of time at 3 Page St, which now has a commemorative historic bronze plaque. The Prince was father of the
current King of Thailand — the longest reigning and most beloved monarch in the world, and who was born in Cambridge, MA in 1927 — the first monarch ever born in the USA.
