A 3km traffic jam formed outside the temple, while a ceremony was organised at 9am to make merit for His Majesty the late King Rama IX and for His Majesty the King Maha Vachiralongkorn.
The seven tonnes of durian came from Rayong and Chanthaburi orchards as well as having another batch on standby if it proved insufficient.
