  Why was this posted? Because some news agencies screwed up and published Bhumibol's passing away before embargo was lifted?

    Most likely a "today I learned" sort of thing.

      My wife and I once went to a theater in Bangkok. It was nice, but everybody had to get up and bow «before the king» the piece started. In the leaflet I read it's mandatory, so I told my wife not to stay seated. At least I crossed my fingers in my front pants pocket. Perhaps that's why I have been selected for a more thorough examination when leaving Thailand.
