BANGKOK — A month into mourning for His Majesty the Late King, officials have announced an online system for mourners to book slots to pay their respects to the royal coffin should be available next month.

An online queuing system to ease the long lines and health concerns should be operational by Dec. 1, officials repeated Friday. The new system is being developed by the palace and government tech ministry.
