泰国王室10月13日发表声明称，泰国国王普密蓬·阿杜德(Bhumibol Adulyadej)去世，享年88岁。1946年登上王位的普密蓬是世界上在位时间最长的君主，今年是他登基七十周年。而在他去世之后，在位时间最长的君主当属英国女王伊丽莎白二世。

在其父亲于1952年2月6日去世后，时年25岁的英国女王伊丽莎白二世登基。如今90岁的女王已在位64年8个月零7天，相当于其生命中超过三分之二的时间。

Before his death on Wednesday at the age of 88, the Thai king had chalked up more than 70 years and four months on the throne.

The Queen has a comfortable margin over the next longest-serving monarch, the Sultan of Brunei. Hassanal Bolkiah can boast 49 years and nine days on the throne of the tiny, oil-rich Asian state, having ascended the throne on 4 October 1967. The wealthy Sultan is a car enthusiast, reportedly owning a private collection of up to 5,000 luxury sports cars.
