Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok has reportedly renamed its bar carrying the name of Hindu deity Hanuman; after Hindus protested calling it "highly inappropriate".
A statue of the Hindu god Ganesha is placed in a boat at Bangkok’s Rama IX Bridge today for its annual river journey to the site of a worship ceremony elsewhere in the capital.
