泰國昨日迎來震撼全國的噩耗，在位70年的泰王蒲眉蓬於曼谷詩麗拉醫院駕崩，享年88歲。蒲眉蓬是全球在位時間最長的君主，親民形象深受國民愛戴，多次調解國家政治危機，是卻克里王朝以至泰國政府的定海神針。64歲的王儲哇集拉隆功將繼承王位，但他無論個人魅力和政治智慧都望塵莫及。

Also known as Rama IX — a reference to his lineage stretching from Rama I, the founder of the Chakri dynasty — Bhumibol commanded great love and respect within Thailand. An energetic public relations machine promoted his popularity, which led to his portrait being adorned with marigolds from Bangkok office lobbies to the poorest of rural homes.
