Thailand: Economic Concerns Follow King's Death
www.voanews.com
Thailand is beginning a year of mourning for King Bhumibol. The rules surrounding the period are strict and include a 30-day restriction on festivities, such as parties and drinking alcohol, which could slow down tourism arrivals, Euronews reports.
Some locals, such as Mantuporn Sakanawat, have expressed concern about the economic effects of the monarch's death.
"There are many factors. Officials don't allow selling on the pavements. Vendors don't have money. People don't have money. People think about what is necessary for their family. They don't buy unnecessary stuff."
