SALA Scene | OCTOBER 2017
1927 – 2016
This month, SALA Hospitality joins the Thai people in mourning and bidding farewell to the nation’s late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who for over 70 years has been Thailand’s guiding light.
The royal cremation ceremony is scheduled to take place from 25 to 29 October 2017. On 26 October, the Thai government has called for the public’s cooperation in refraining from organising all kinds of entertainment, with entertainment expected to be toned down from 21 October until the end of the month out of respect for the funeral ceremonies.
Following the royal cremation ceremony, the government will hold a month-long exhibition from 1 to 30 November 2017 at the Royal Crematorium and Sanam Luang ceremonial ground in remembrance of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
