Street musician in Boston plays Thai national anthem to pay respect to HM the King (VIDEO)

A Thai woman in Boston, Massachusetts, was taking the subway back to her home yesterday, when she heard the most familiar song from an American street musician  — it was Thailand’s national anthem.

Facebook user Maii Suthiparinyanon shared a video of the street saxophone player playing the anthem, adding she never expected to hear the song in Boston.

“When I was taking the train home, I heard a song that was so familiar,” Maii said.

This is the same song played daily throughout Thailand at 8am and 6pm.

“I never expected to hear this song in Boston,” she said.

Maii said she then asked the performer to play it again and captured it in a video. The man then expressed condolences to the Thai woman about her late king.

“I was tearing up. I was so overwhelmed. Thank you so much. There are so many people who love our king.”
