I expect newspapers in Thailand had good sales today judging by my own ultimately unsuccessful attempts to acquire a copy of today's Bangkok Post and/or The Nation. And I think it's not just the English titles that would have been disappearing at a fast rate.
There are also a growing number of special magazines and supplements relating to the funeral of the late Princess Galyani. The Bangkok Post has a bilingual one that's pretty good and costs 120 baht.
Newspapers in the UK covering the period of the death and subsequent funeral of Princess Diana saw similar huge sales increases, and copies quickly become collectors items. I am not sure if Thai people collect newspapers from momentous events in the same way?
