    » 1. Thursday marks the date of the royal funeral ceremony, the cremation of King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Many department stores and convenient stores -- including 7-Eleven -- have come out to announce a temporary cease of operations on that day, in order to encourage all Thai citizens to mourn the loss of their great king. Various government agencies and district offices will also be holding remote ceremonies within their respective areas, to accommodate those who may not be able to travel to the Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall, such as the burning of funeral flowers at various temples. You can visit kingrama9.bangkokpost.com (or kingrama9.posttoday.com for Thai site) for details such as dress code and travel recommendations to the ceremony site at Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimol Mangkhalaram, or call your local district office to ask about activities in your local area.
