During the National Remembrance Day we commemorate the Dutch victims of the Second World War and war situations and peace missions afterwards. The embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Bangkok also considers it important to keep the memory of the victims alive. The embassy is therefore organizing a commemoration ceremony on 4 May next on the embassy grounds.
If you wish to attend the commemoration, you can register before Friday 27 April via [email protected] (Please mention 'Remembrance Day' in the subject). For the commemoration, the entrance at Wireless Road, no. 106 opposite All Seasons Place, will be used (NB there is no parking available on the embassy grounds).
