Saying Goodbye to Thailand's King

On October 13, 2016, Thailand’s King Bhumibol, the world’s longest-reigning royal—spanning seven decades on the throne—passed away. The news of his death was publicized throughout the world as Bangkok residents began to mourn and fold “more than 10 million flowers made of sandalwood, whose scent is believed to guide souls to the afterworld.” Thailand spent the following year building a crematorium to host his funeral. In late October 2017, world dignitaries and leaders came from every corner of the world to pay their respects.
We were in Bangkok for one day and we had a once in a life time opportunity to visit the late King Bhumibol’s crematorium—a sacred sanctuary that would be dismantled within weeks. But one hundred thousand other people had the same idea that day.
See what happened as we made our way through Bangkok to say goodbye to Thailand's King.
