Thailand is making preparations for Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn
to ascend the throne on Dec 1, two senior military sources with
knowledge of the matter said.
The death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej on Oct 13 at the age of 88 has
plunged the Southeast Asian nation of 67 million people into a year of
mourning.
News of the December timeframe follows the prince's departure for
Germany at the weekend where he had personal business to attend to, one
senior military source told Reuters, adding that the prince would return
in November.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
