He said the general public had shown great interest in the Royal Crematorium exhibition, with 683,411 visitors within 11 days since it opened on November 2. “We plan to propose to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha for extension of the exhibition period from November 30 to December 30,” Gen Tanasak, the chairman of the committee of the Royal Crematorium exhibition, said at an inspection on Monday night at Sanam Luang. “If the premier approves, we will ask HM King Rama X for final approval," said Tanasak. Meanwhile, there are plans for Chinese opera performances in addition to the existing khon mask dance shows in front of the Royal Crematorium on the weekends. “On the evening of November 27, we will present Chinese Opera shows by both local troupes from Yaowarat [Bangkok’s Chinatown] and from China,” said Culture Minister Veera Rojpojanarat.
