Ukusweleka kwakhe ngo-2016, kuye kwamanyanisa ilizwe kwintlungu. Wayengowabaninzi bethu ababehlala eThailand, ekuphela koKumkani esasimazi. Ebizwa ngokuba 'nguBawo' wayeyintloko yokomoya neyokwenyama yentsapho yabantu abazizigidi ezingama-71. Abaninzi babecinga ukuba unguthixo ophilayo.
UBukumkani buza kuqalisa umsitho wokutshiswa kwesidumbu seentsuku ezintlanu kwinyanga ezayo.
Urhulumente wasemkhosini welizwe wenze uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwe-THB ezibhiliyoni ezi-3 (i-91 yezigidi zeedola zaseMelika) ukulungiselela umngcwabo.

Uhlala ethatha amanqaku kwaye ebonwa rhoqo ngemephu kunye nekhamera entanyeni yakhe. Wayefuna ukutyelela yonke i-intshi yobukumkani bakhe. Kuyo yonke indawo abalawulwa bakhe babekho - abaninzi kwiikona ezikude okanye phezulu ezintabeni.
UKumkani wayeyingcali kwiinkqubo zolawulo lwamanzi; umqambi, imvumi, umBhuda ozinikeleyo, iingqondi, umbono, unozakuzaku, umdala waseburhulumenteni, usomashishini kunye nomgcini woxolo.

Umfanekiso wakhe wawuthandeka phantse kuwo onke amakhaya nakuzo zonke izakhiwo zaseThailand. Zange khe kubekho Kumkani uhlonitshwa ngolu hlobo.
Ukusweleka kwakhe eneminyaka engama-88 (wazalwa nge-5 kaDec 1927) yayilixesha elibuhlungu kakhulu kwimbali yethu. Ilizwe laliziphepha iimpahla eziqaqambileyo; izakhiwo neendawo zikawonke-wonke zazihonjiswe ngombala omnyama nomhlophe, umoya wawuzolile yaye uzolile. Iiribhoni ezimnyama kunye neebhanti zengalo ziseyinto eqhelekileyo.
Abantu abazili bafole ngaphandle kweRoyal Palace belindele ukunika imbeko yabo yokugqibela
Amawakawaka ebefole yonke imihla ukusukela ekufeni kwakhe, ukuze anike imbeko kwaye enze imbeko yawo yokugqibela kuKumkani wawo. Abaninzi bema iiyure ebushushwini obubambezelayo okanye kwiimvula zamaxesha onyaka ukuze batshixize badlule kwintsalela kaKumkani – bethule, benentlonipho nakwabaninzi…ngokweemvakalelo.
Ayimangalisi into yokuba elona qonga likhulu kwelakha lakhiwa eRoyal Cremation. Kwaye ngokwesiko iinqwelo zokulwa zegolide zilungisiwe, zavathiswa. Ulungele ukuthwala uKumkani othandekayo kuhambo lwakhe lokugqibela.
Amakhulukhulu eengcibi ezichubekileyo azibhokoxa kangangamawaka eeyure zabantu, esenza amaplanga amahle ngamaplanga akhethelwe esi sihlandlo. I-Thailand ilungiselela ukuba ndlela-ntle kokugqibela kuKumkani wayo ongasekhoyo othandekayo ngendlela engazange ibonwe ngabantu abaninzi baseThailand.
