The Thai king of Rama IX is known as King Bhumibol the Great in Japan. I knew that he had passed away in October 2016 and I was wondering before the trip if I should wear conservative clothes during the trip in Thailand, or how long people in Thailand go into mourning. Just at that time, the Thai government issued a comment on Oct 29th, 4 days before my departure, that their period of mourning expired. That was good news for us, as we didn't want to see sad faces in Thailand and hadn't to care about our own clothes. However, I wasn't able to even imagine that the happening I'm going to write in the next blog entry would occur.

タイ国王ラーマ９世は日本ではプミポン国王と称される。２０１６年１０月に崩御された。この時点ではタイ旅行は全く考えていなかったが、２０１７年秋にバンコクへ旅行することになり、出発が近づくにつれて服喪期間中なのか違うのか、気になっていた。着ていく服に気を遣わねばならないからだ。出発の４日前に喪が明けたと公式通知があったので、この件については思案無用と思ってほっとしたのだが、、、続く
