Princess Galyani Vadhana, the older sister of the King, died and Thailand paid respects to her for 15 days, 6 of which is the length of her funeral. She was 84 years old. The teachers at CMU had to wear black and white for the week, and many others around Thailand did the same. The photo above is a large billboard near Tae Pae Gate and hundreds if not thousands of yellow lanterns hung across the plaza. Quite the sight. Normally this plaza is packed with vendors on a Sunday night, so it was a little eerie standing in the open space with just a handful of people .
The photo above is from the inner walls inside a temple along the Sunday walking street. One of the most magical and mystical sights I've seen. Colorful lanterns were hung in the trees, and the entire temple was decorated with candles and incense. Makes your dessert from the market taste a little sweeter when you stumble upon something like this.
