Rooftops abound in style
Okay, if you recall me mentioning earlier at some point the, uh, 'accidents' that seem to fall upon Thai leaders? Read this: This is in reference to the main palace building This building has not been used for royal residence since the mysterious death of King Rama VIII (the older brother of the current King), found shot dead in his room in 1946. The reverence for the monarchy in Thailand means that, even today, this remains a completely taboo subject to talk publicly about in Thailand. Not real gold, which sounds reasonable for a country as poor as Thailand
