Meanwhile, the Defence Ministry has launched a new song Dut Dang Sai Fah (Like a Bolt of Lightning) in honour of His Majesty the King.
The song is performed by Artiwara "Toon" Kongmalai who made history when he raised over 1 billion baht for 11 public hospitals by running from the country's southern tip in Betong of Yala, up north to the finish line in Mae Sai of Chiang Rai over 55 days late last year.
Ministry spokesman Kongcheep Tantravanich said the song won an army competition aimed at honouring His Majesty the King.
The song was composed by Pongprom Snitwong na Ayuthaya, who was also responsible for King of Kings which honoured the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
