Thai king advised to rest

BANGKOK (Reuter): Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej has been
told by his doctors to rest after he suffered from brief chest
pains, the Bureau of the Royal Household said in a statement.

King Bhumibol, 67, suffered the pains during routine daily
exercise on Monday evening, the statement issued late on Tuesday
said.

His doctors determined the pain was caused by a brief problem
involving insufficient blood supply to certain heart muscles, the
bureau said.

The king has been advised to rest and avoid royal activities
for the time being.
