Thailand releases 1,066 turtles to celebrate King's birthday
Hundreds of Thais gathered at a beach on Wednesday to release 1,066 turtles into the sea as part of celebrations for King Maha Vajiralongkorn's birthday on July 28. The number 1,066 was chosen to symbolise the number 10 for King Rama X, as King Vajiralongkorn is known, and the number 66, one more than his age, to wish him longevity.
