Activities unrelated to the mourning of His Majesty the late King are being moved outside the Sanam Luang area for orderliness and better regulation, said Bangkok deputy governor Amnuay Nimmano. Many also have complained that the activities at Sanam Luang have turned the atmosphere of solemnity into something close to a fair. The vendors and the motorcyclists will be blacklisted and banned from entering Sanam Luang. Those without identification were interviewed by security officials who took down their identity information before permitting them into Sanam Luang. Around 1,400 traffic police officers are deployed around Sanam Luang and the Grand Palace.
