KRABI: A man from Phitsanulok Province passed through Krabi yesterday after setting out from his home province on foot six months ago, determined to walk the length and breadth of the country, passing through all 76 provinces, in honor of His Majesty King Bhumibol.

Chuthipong Saetan, 24, began his walk from the province in northern Central Thailand with the aim of covering the entire country on foot to end up in Bangkok on December 5, to mark the King’s birthday.

It was while on the southern leg of his march that he learned of the His Majesty’s death last week. However, Mr Chuthipong vowed to continue his walk to the capital and reach the Grand Palace by December so he can pay his respects to the departed Monarch.
