What did they talk about?

After US President Barack Obama's plane landed yesterday at Don Mueang airport, he was taken to Wat Pho for a visit. Then, he was taken for a special meeting (an audience) with His Majesty the King.

We don't know everything they talked about, but we do know that President Obama gave His Majesty a photo album. In the album were photos of all the US presidents the King had met during his long reign, beginning with Dwight Eisenhower in 1954.
