“The special tours aim to promote Thailand’s centuries-old tradition of the Royal Cremation and royal activities to the world with the help of these ambassadors,” Culture Minister Vira Rojpojanarat said at the National Museum. The tour was led by Chakrarot Chitrabongs, the former permanent secretary of the Ministry of Culture. The ambassadors will participate in the Royal Cremation on October 26. Like Thailand, Sweden, Denmark, the UK, Cambodia, Spain, Morocco, Oman, Bahrain, the UAE and Malaysia all have a monarch. Thai tradition is very elaborate.
