THAILAND:- Large crowds expected for mass singing

**David48atTD** · 23-10-2016, 06:54 AM

The public has been invited to join in Saturday's mass chanting of a new version of the Royal Anthem dedicated to the memory of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej and huge crowds are expected.

The mass singing will be taped for showing later on television and at cinemas nationwide. The taping will start at 1pm Saturday on Thanon Na Phra Lan Road outside the Grand Palace and at Sanam Luang, according to government spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd.

The event was thought up by national artist and renowned filmmaker and director MC Chatrichalerm Yukol, widely known as Than Mui, Lt Gen Sansern said.

The recording of the mass singing of the Royal Anthem will stand as a testament to the love between the Thai people and their King, he said.

If your only picture of the King is on money, ok, fair enough but does it make a difference if it's 20 baht or 1000?

No, obviously it doesn't, that's why I'm asking. But it does seem that to some people in the crowd it makes a difference. I wonder why.

Perhaps that was the first note to hand.

Why do you feel the need to read something else into it?

NO

Not every Thai has a Bht 1,000 Bank in their Wallet/Purse

Remember that Bht 1,000 is more then 3 times the minimum daily wage.
Difficult with a Taxi / Street Food / Ma-Pa Shop

Rarely do I have a $100 note in my pocket. Smaller notes, together more then a hundred bucks, sure.

It's the image of the King which is important.

No need to wonder now.

Thanks for posting these videos folks. Great links.

at one point the Director of the Massed Choir tells the crowd not to stick two fingers up (sorng niew), in that kind of Churchillian victory sign they do by instinct whenever they tend to see a camera.
