As Thailand is currently in a period of national mourning after the passing of the beloved monarch His Majesty the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, some festivals and activities in the kingdom have been cancelled or postponed. Other events will go ahead as planned but may be toned down as a mark of respect.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) would like to recommend that any visitors with travel or tourism plans reconfirm with agents and check local media regularly as well as follow the advice of the local authorities for announcements and updates. We also ask tourists and visitors for their understanding during this time.
