It is no exception Thursday as the nation mourns and says goodbye to the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The five-day royal cremation rites will run until Sunday with the royal cremation taking place tonight. Others are assigned to help out with providing transportation to and from the royal cremation venue. As the country's unifying force, the late King helped Thais survive times of crisis. We should never forget that such an act of compassion is a meaningful way of paying tribute to the beloved late King, Rama IX.
