There was no damage to the collection.”

“A impromptu vigil was held this morning around 1am in remembrance of the King of Thailand. This king who was born in Boston, has a town square named after him there, was the people’s king. Thais absolutely love this King. The crowd softly sang the Kings song and celebrated the life of their King.”
