Hello

His final years were filled with suffering after several hospital stays. Now, may he rest in peace.....

I’m worried about his successor son—he’s not very popular and spends most of his time in Germany.

A year of national mourning has been declared.

I fear what’s to come...

Rest in peace... ...I was lucky enough to see him... many years ago now. The most striking thing was the silence surrounding his presence....

Hello,

In recent years, he suffered greatly after multiple hospital stays. Now, he rests in peace.....

I fear for his successor, his son, who isn’t very popular and spends most of his time in Germany.

I worry about what’s to come...

This doesn’t bring anything good; the country isn’t united...

RIP

I’ll never pay tribute to any monarch, no matter who they are. Except, maybe, if they abdicate.

Is that serious?

No, it's not a big deal—I don’t have a high opinion of the King, and there are quite a few Thais who silently criticize him too. Plus, our own King was beheaded, so I struggle to understand people fanatically devoted to a monarch... But rest in peace, of course.

Every dynasty is built on sand, except one.

Every dynasty is built on sand, except one.

Yeah, but there’s little chance we’ll see a dethroning any time soon.

My condolences to the Thai people.

May the king rest in peace now.

My deepest condolences to the people of Thailand. Rest in peace.

RIP

A little history won't hurt anyone...

King Rama IX was recognized by his people as a human Bodhisattva...

Some say he was the living reincarnation of King Ramkhamhaeng, from the Sukhothai reign period...

King Bhumibol had a relationship with his people like a loving father with his children... he was the one who built schools and hospitals for his people while developing the country's economy... He is also the king who holds the record for the longest reign on Earth, and he was not only the richest man in the world, but it was said that his inner wealth was just as great...

Only love watched over him, and Thailand is in mourning... and weeping...

Tomorrow afternoon, his body will be transported to be displayed in one of the largest temples...

Some of his Buddhist people said that the King was only waiting for his death to become a God in his next life...

Long live this majestic King...

Hi, well done on this tribute

HELLO There are silent tributes that, in my opinion, are worth more than some of the comments I’ve read here—it’s called modesty...

We're already reaching new heights here...

At this rate, in three posts someone's gonna suggest he be beatified (despite his status as a non-believer, of course)...
