Hundreds of people gathered at a beach in Thailand on Wednesday to release 1,066 turtles into the sea. The event was one of many around the country celebrating the birthday of Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn. The number 1,066 represents two important numbers for the king: 10 and 66. The king is commonly known as King Rama X the X meaning 10. And, he will be 65 years old on July 28. The number 66 is one more than his age, to wish him long life. The large crowd, including members of the Royal Thai Navy and students, released the turtles at the Sea Turtle Conservation Centre in Chonburi.
