Today is a hard day here in Thailand, a day we have been dreading for a long time has come. The king has passed.
King Rama IX was one of the few kings who actually deserved their place and did more for the country and people they ruled than for himself.
He embodied the virtues that Thais hold dear, and that set him apart as a great king and a great man.
He was humble (remarkably so), self sacrificing, and curios, he also had a giant heart and devoted most of his endeavors to helping others, especially those who had been given a unfortunate lot in life.
I doubt we will see his like again. Good bye to His Majesty, you will be missed
