» 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.

» 1. We all know that being a musician can be tough, especially for indie artists who don't have a giant music label to back them up. Show your support for the artists responsible for your favourite songs at the Long Khan Music Festival, a pay-what-you-want event where every bit of money goes toward the performing artists. Aside from purchasing CDs and merchandise, you can also show your appreciation directly by putting money in each artist's khan (or water bowl), so that they may continue to rock your world in future. The event will be held on Sunday at the ACMEN Ekamai Complex.
