BANGKOK: -- MANY loyal villagers put aside everything, including concerns about their own financial difficulty, as they make arduous journeys from remote towns to Bangkok to bid farewell to the King.

 

Despite difficulty, some people have been willing to undertake long treks because they feel strongly connected and grateful to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej for his royal initiatives.


Chui Kaewjanta, 65, from Chiang Rai, the northernmost province, said: “I could not stay in my house any longer. My heart has flown to Bangkok already since I learnt of this tragic loss. I have no money and had to borrow from my neighbours because I wanted to come here. I miss my King.”


Chui, joined by her husband, spoke while having a meal in the sun on the open field of Sanam Luang in front of the Grand Palace.
