Thailand is now in an official period of mourning following the passing of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.<\/p>\n
In this regard, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) would like all visitors to Thailand to continue with their travel plans as normal. Furthermore, kindly be advised of the following:
\u2022 Many Thai people will be wearing black or white clothing as a sign of mourning. This is not required of visitors but if possible, they should wear sombre and respectful clothing when in public.
\u2022 Visitors should refrain from conducting any inappropriate or disrespectful behaviour.
\u2022 Tourist attractions will be open as usual with the exception of Wat Phra Kaeo (Temple of the Emerald Buddha) and the Grand Palace, as they will be the venue of the Royal Funeral Rites.
\u2022 The Government has asked for the cooperation from the entertainment venues; such as, bars and nightclubs to consider the opening of their business operations during this time. The decision will be made by the individual owners.
\u2022 Most of the traditional and cultural events will be taking place as usual, although the celebrations may be changed for appropriateness as a mark of respect, or the events may be dedicated to the memory of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
\u2022 All transport, banks, hospitals and other public services will be operating as usual.
\u2022 The related authorities have stepped up safety and security measures for all Thais and visitors to facilitate their travelling around the country.
\u2022 For any enquiries, please contact our TAT domestic offices or Tel.: 1672.<\/p>\n
TAT would like to thank all visitors for their understanding and supporting Thailand during this period of time.<\/p>\n
