Across the country, 20 million people laid funeral flowers as last tributes to the much-beloved monarch last Thursday – the day of the Royal Cremation – with mourners forming long lines for hours to pay tribute. However, in Chon Buri people became so upset that they staged a protest against Chon Buri Governor Pakathorn Tianchai this week. “Think carefully before you make a scene over this issue,” Anupong said. “Our probe also shows that the governor came to the venue early, not late like people suggested,” Anupong said. However, he declined to further comment on allegations that the Chon Buri governor should have facilitated the huge crowds more efficiently.
