King's health improving

Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej is undergoing more physical therapy and eating more of his meals, the palace said yesterday. The Committee of Royal Physicians reported that "his majesty the king is able to partake more of his meals. Multi-vitamins and rehabilitation therapies are still given." King Bhumibol, the world's longest-reigning monarch at age 81, has been hospitalized since September 19, when he was admitted suffering from fever and fatigue.
