A heroes welcome for the champions of England.
Leicester City's Premier League winning squad arriving in Thailand to hundreds of ecstatic
football fans.
The players greeted with flower garlands and a choreographed Thai bow at Bangkok's main
airport.
Foxes manager Claudio Ranieri, captain Wes Morgan and goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel leading
the team.
Star forwards Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez noticably absent from the media scrum.
Still the crowds were as raucous as you'd imagine for a club who started the season
5000-1 outsiders...
Here they've been branded as "Thailand's team" - there following understandbly growing since
claiming the top-flight title for the first time in its 132 year history.
Leicester are owned by one of the country's richest men - duty-free billionaire Vichai
Srivaddhanaprabha.
A devout Buddhist he has repeatedly flown monks to the UK to bless the players and stadium.
Now the team has the chance to return the favour with time with their Thai faithful
and when they show-off their new trophy on an open-top bus tour of Bangkok.
The parade may not attract the quarter of a million strong crowd it did back home...
But still, they'll no doubt have having a party.
