Memorial Day

 
Thailand Pays Respect to King Chulalongkorn
Despite the devastating flooding in Bangkok and all over the North and Central regions of
Thailand, on Sunday 23rd October, the whole country celebrated the Memorial Day for
King Chulalongkorn, also known as Rama V, who passed away on October 23rd, 1910.
To honour King Chulalongkorn, the day is an official national holiday and government
authorities from the largest cities to the smallest villages, teachers and students from
many schools and members of the public respectfully place garlands in front of the
statues of King Chulalongkorn.
Here in Pattaya and surrounding areas, where so far we have escaped devastating
flooding, local authorities officiated at ceremonies in memory of the King. On Sunday
morning at the Banglamung District Office, the King was honoured with beautiful large
flower garlands placed in front of his statue by government representatives, starting
with both Pattaya Police Station and Banglamung Police Station officials, including Superintendents
Police Colonel Nantawut Suwanlaong and Police Colonel Somnuek Changate.
Pattaya City Hall was represented by Mayor Ittipol Khunplume, Deputy Mayors and
Pattaya Councilors all dressed in official white uniforms.
The ceremonies were conducted after making food offerings to the monks, followed by
the placing of the Garlands in front of the King’s statue, keeping in harmony with the whole of Thailand.
