» 1. Good news for those who have yet to visit King Bhumibhol's crematorium at Sanam Luang. His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun has granted an extension of visitation until Dec 31, with hopes that those who live in the provinces will have an opportunity to witness the finest Thai craftsmanship on display.

In smaller open-air pavilions, the art of creating the crematorium is displayed, with videos displaying the artists at work.

» Nathan Bartling, aka "My Mate Nate", is a hero to some and a low-life to many.

The whole event may seem like an overreaction, but this hasn't been the first time that the 24-year-old American has angered locals and expats due to his juvenile stunts.
