BANGKOK: -- MORE than 500,000 people gathered on the route along which the body of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej was moved from Siriraj Hospital to the Grand Palace last Friday, according to the Public Health Ministry.

 

The ministry's deputy permanent secretary, Dr Kiattibhoom Vongrachit, yesterday said 24 medical teams along the route provided services to 43,616 people that day.

"Most of them needed smelling salts because they felt woozy," he said, "Some had minor accidents".

The much-revered monarch passed away at the age of 89 last Thursday. The news of his passing plunged Thailand into grief.
