Walking with a portrait of HM the King in hand, the 46-year-old plans to join mourners at Suan Luang and the Grand Palace in the capital to pay his respects to the Late Monarch. Surat Thanni Governor Uaychai Innak met Mr Hammill while he was taking a breather at a small cottage in the province’s Kanchanadit District. “His right foot was sore after walking about 50 kilometers already but otherwise he was in good health,” said Governor Uaychai.
