With the passing of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, some attractions and events in Thailand may be closed, according to the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).

However, if you’ve already booked your holiday to Thailand, fret not as most tourist attractions will run as per usual.
Nonetheless, travellers are encouraged to be “respectful and sombre” and to “refrain from any activities that can be interpreted as festive” during this period of mourning. So go forth and enjoy your Thailand holiday without any worries ?

For travellers hoping to pay their respects to the late king, you can do so at the Sala Sahathai Samakom Pavillion daily during the mourning period. Starting from 17 October, The Thai Transportation Operators Association, TAT and the Royal Thai police are providing free bus services to the location. More information on the transport services can be found here.
The HHWT team will also like to express our sincerest condolences to Thailand during this difficult time.
