I have friends there
This makes them very sad
They loved their King
There are few ways to make an Thai person show anger in public- They consider it very rude.
But insult their King and you would get an ass beating
My sister in law is Thai, I can attest to this.
Funny story. I believe King Bhumibol was the only monarch born in the United States, namely Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, MA. They have a display in one of the corridors there.
When my brother and his wife were visiting they went there to see it, but after twenty minutes of looking they came up empty. My brother went to the receptionist and said "This is going to sound weird..."
The receptionist looked past him, saw my sister in law, and just said "King of Thailand?" My brother nodded, she pointed and said "That way."
