In this Oct. 14, 2016 photo, people order food from a vendor on a darkened street in Bangkok’s Soi Cowboy red-light district, after police and soldiers asked bars owners to shut down following the death Thursday of Thailand’s 88-year-old King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who was the world’s longest reigning monarch.
