Leicester City players and staff, led by manager Brendan Rodgers and captain Wes Morgan, arrived in Thailand to attend the Royal cremation ceremony for their late chairman, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
Vichai, along with four others, tragically died in a helicopter crash in October last year, with British investigators attributing the accident to a malfunctioning tail rotor control mechanism.
Vichai's profound impact on Leicester City included guiding them to their historic Premier League Championship in 2016, and he also championed Thai football talent through initiatives like the Fox Hunt program.

Today 15:28 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Tourism and Sports Minister announced the government will seek clarification from the Chinese Embassy regarding its recent travel advisory warning Chinese nationals about safety concerns in Thailand.
The travel advisory is anticipated to negatively impact the number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand, despite recent increases in arrivals.
A meet-and-greet event featuring Chinese actress Bai Lu, a WeTV Global Ambassador, was abruptly cancelled just days after the Chinese Embassy issued its safety warning, though no official reason was provided.
The Chinese Embassy's advisory urged citizens to beware of job scams, fraudulent investments, suspicious travel arrangements, and the risk of illegal detention or being lured to the Thai-Myanmar border.
Chinese nationals were advised to verify job offers, use legitimate transport, avoid high-risk border areas, protect personal documents, and keep family informed of travel plans.
