Thai king's physical therapy continuing - palace

BANGKOK, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej is undergoing more physical therapy and eating more of his meals, the palace said on Thursday, after concerns over his health sparked a second day of heavy selling in Thailand's markets.

"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," said a statement from the Bureau of the Royal Household.

King Bhumibol, the world's longest-reigning monarch at age 81, has been hospitalised since Sept. 19, when he was admitted suffering from fever, fatigue and weak appetite. Updates from the palace on his condition have often been opaquely worded. The king, Thailand's single unifying figure, is regarded as semi-divine by many of the country's 67 million people. His health is an extremely sensitive topic. Thai stock prices and the local baht currency fell sharply on Thursday on concerns over his condition.
