20 JANUARY 2017 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: People wait for a Buddhist religious ceremony to start on the plaza between Wat Suthat (in the background) and Bangkok's City Hall. Hundreds of municipal workers and civil servants made merit by praying and presenting alms to 89 Buddhist monks Friday to mark 100 days of mourning since the death of revered Bhumibol Adulyadej, the Late King of Thailand. The significance of 89 monks is that the King, who died on October 13, 2016, was a few weeks short of his 89th birthday. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
