Authorities said the “Rurm Palang Haeng Kwarm Pakdee” event at Sanam Luang would not affect people queuing to enter the nearby Grand Palace to pay their respects to the late King. “I would like to invite all the people to join tomorrow’s [today] event to pay respects to our beloved HM King Bhumibol and remember his good deeds to the people and our country,” Tanasak said. “On this occasion I would like to thank all Thai people who are united together in this time of grief. National Council for Peace and Order deputy spokesperson Colonel Sirichan Ngathong revealed the event would be held from 8am nationwide. JSO affirms that we will try our best to facilitate the people, but we still face area adjustment problems after the rain, so we currently still cannot set up more tents, portable toilets and food tents,” Pongsawat said.
