Delight to despair: Thais stunned by death of billionaire Vichai

Stunned Thais on Monday digested news of the death of billionaire Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, whose dazzling success as owner of Leicester City showered pride and prestige on the kingdom. Vichai, 60, died when his helicopter plummeted into a car park outside the King Power stadium shortly after his side's 1-1 draw with West Ham on Saturday. For most of his life the publicity-shy duty-free magnate, Thailand's fifth richest man who spun billions from his King Power monopoly, was not a household name in his native country.
