Capping a year of national mourning, #Thailand will cremate its celebrated King Bhumibol Adulyadej on Thursday evening. The $90 million ceremony will symbolize both the bountiful devotion of his subjects and the earthly abundance of what many consider the world’s wealthiest monarchy. When he died at 88 on October 13 last year, the king, also known as Rama IX, was the world’s longest-reigning royal. During his 7 decades on the throne, he helped guide a nation prone to chronic coup-making and spasms of political violence. The cremation is considered the concluding chapter in a journey that will return the divine monarch to the mystical Mount Meru, the heavenly heart of the Buddhist and Hindu realm. Since King Bhumibol’s death, millions of Thais have limited their wardrobes to black and white. Our photographer @adamjdean captured mourners in #Bangkok, where residents have folded more than 10 million flowers made of sandalwood, whose scent is believed to guide souls to the afterworld.
