Be respectful of Thailand’s period of mourning


THE image on social media has been shared thousands of times.

It shows the cortege of the late Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej leaving the hospital where he breathed his last en route to the Grand Palace where his body is to lie in state. What’s so striking about the photo is that a flock of birds are flying over the cortege as the skies light up after a downpour.
