The late King Bhumibol Adulyadej watched over his kingdom for 70 years – and he continues to do so a year after his death.
The late King Bhumibol’s image is omnipresent across the country in messages commemorating his life and mourning his death. Photos of a monarch many Thais loved like a father can be found everywhere from billboards to ATM screens, from full-page tributes in national newspapers to commemorative books in street-side markets, from shrines in shopping malls to exhibits in art galleries.
As the text next to one image read: “In the hearts of all Thais he will forever remain the leading bright light.” (AP)
