(RIP) King Bhumibol Adulyadej - Rama IX (5 December 1927 - 13 October 2016)

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

(RIP) King Bhumibol Adulyadej - Rama IX (5 December 1927 - 13 October 2016)

Rumours abound regarding speculation that HM Bhumbipol may have passed on.
Nothing seems to be in the press as yet.
There is supposedly a press conference scheduled for 8 PM this evening.

I called my contact in Thailand and asked for any update, and was told that what I had heard so far is pretty much the talk on the street but nothing official yet.
However, a contact at the Palace did confirm that the 4 children (of H.M.) had been ordered to get to the hospital asap. This would suggest that something is in the works.

To add further to the confusion, it seems that HM the Queen is also in hospital, so they are not sure if the news will be about The King or The Queen.

The rumors have hit the press that the end is near. Here is one article pointing in that direction. I could find no recent info on the Queen's health.

well written,
....In 1972, King Adulyadej conferred the title ‘Somdech Phra Borama Orasadhiraj Chao Fah Maha Vajiralongkorn Sayam Makutrajakuman’ on Prince Vajiralongkorn, designating him the Crown Prince and Heir to the throne.
this will not go down smoothly and look for the south to take this time to "try" and pull away with Malaysia's support

wllly rumors again;;;;;;; :facepalm:
