The Sixtieth Anniversary Celebrations of King Bhumibol Adulyadej's Accession to the Throne (Thai: งานฉลองสิริราชสมบัติครบ ๖๐ ปี พ.ศ.

๒๕๔๙; RTGS: Ngan Chalong Siriratchasombat Khrop Hok Sip Pi Pho So Song Phan Ha Roi Si Sip Kao) were the celebrations held throughout Thailand in 2006 to celebrate King Bhumibol Adulyadej's 60 years on the throne.

The celebrations were arranged by the Royal Thai Government with Thaksin Shinawatra as Prime Minister, and attended by representatives of other monarchies.

King Bhumibol selected one of twelve designs presented by the Fine Arts Department of the Ministry of Culture to be the official emblem for the celebrations.

The device is encircled with diamonds, which symbolise wise men, important authors, craftsmen, the sacred white elephant, graceful women, vigorous soldiers, and public servants.
