A faded image of Thailand's late King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) and Queen Sirikit decorates a clock face in an old house on December 04, 2020 in Ranong, Thailand. Southern Thailand has long been seen as a stronghold of Royalist support. Reverence for the present and past kings is high, and publicly visible all across the southern provinces. Portraits of the royal family saturate public and private spaces in the region, a reminder that despite ongoing protests in the capital, support for existing institutions remains high in some parts of the country, and especially in the south.
