"On behalf of the people and Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, it is with great sadness that I express our profound condolences on the passing of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Having ruled for 70 years, he was the world's longest reigning monarch. During his reign he travelled to all parts of Thailand, coming to understand his people and the difficulties they faced. He was greatly revered and respected by the Thai people, occupying an esteemed position in their hearts and minds.
"We join the people of Thailand during this period of national mourning and reflection," Mrs Lam said.
