September 30 – Final day to pay respects
The Royal Household Bureau is allowing people to pay their respects to HM the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej before his Royal Urn inside the Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall only until the end of this month.
The bureau announced the decision yesterday, citing the need to prepare for the Royal Cremation Ceremonies that will be held next month.
Reigning over Thailand for seven full decades, the late monarch earned the love and reverence of his people. He passed away in his 89th year on October 13, 2016. Since the Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall opened its door to mourners on October 28 last year, about 10.6 million people have entered the structure to prostrate before the Royal Urn.
