Thailand is now in an official period of mourning following the passing of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The Bureau of the Royal Household (BRH) has announced one year mourning period for Thai Government officials. Below here is the summary of the recommendations for this period for your reference.

• 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.
• All public offices and educational institutes will fly flags at half mast for 30 days from 14 October 2016.
• To demonstrate respect for the Thai people, refrain from any behaviour that may be interpreted as festive, disrespectful or disorderly for 30 days from 14 October 2016. Abide by local laws and respect Thai customs.
• 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.
• 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.
• All transport, banks, hospitals and other public services will be operating as usual.
