BANGKOK: -- Though emotions are still running high, Thais have in the main coped well with the loss of their beloved King.

 

In grief we have joined forces and shown the world that sorrow and weakness can be transformed into strength and solidarity with one another.

 

Since the passing of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej in his 89th year on October 13, millions of loyal subjects have travelled to the main site of mourning, Sanam Luang, to pay homage.


More than one million people have managed to pay their respects in front of the Royal Urn inside the Grand Palace’s Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall since it was opened to the public on October 29.

weakness

With regard to what?

I'd think that it would be the strength of nation's Buddhism coupled with sorrow  might be more relevant in dealing with the people's emotions.

I gave my staff the day off to pay respects to their King.

I ask all Foreign companies to do the same, if possible.
