In this photo by Sakchai Lalit, people buy lockets with the image of late King Bhumibol Adulyadej in Bangkok. The king’s death after a reign of 70 years has triggered an intense outpouring of grief in Thailand, and people have been quick to purchase items or partake in activities such as alms-giving to honour his memory. Bhumibol died on Oct. 13 at age 88.
