Millions of viewers watching a live broadcast of today’s Royal Barge Procession would likely have missed the sight of a community of riverside houses close to the Grand Palace.That’s because the cluster of these shanty houses is literally hidden from the river by a giant barrier and a billboard honoring His Majesty the King. Residents interviewed by a reporter said they aren’t sure who erected the barrier – the image of which raised many eyebrows on social media – or why.“We cannot really express our views about the billboard. We are just small people,” resident and food vendor Duangjai Limpalekha, 51, said in an interview at her home.
