Legacy of a unifying ruler lives on
Play
Thai people have suffered a great loss with His Majesty the King’s passing on Thursday. The sight of people weeping and wailing openly in mourning will be witnessed all across the country and beyond.
Despite the political division that occurred in the past few decades of his reign, His Majesty was unwavering in his hard work and dedication for his people – not anywhere in particular, but all across the country.
That is why Thais from all walks of life – rich and poor, young and old, rural folks and urban citizens alike – are gathering as one to share deep mourning at the loss of “Our Great Father”.
Let’s hope His Majesty’s legacy remains a guiding light for all of us Thais – to make our country as peaceful and prosperous as it has been for the most part of its eight-century
history!
