The grounds at the Grand Palace where Thai mourners gather will now close from 21.00 p.m. to 4.00 a.m. These measures are necessary because garbage collectors must be able to clean the site. In addition, the government wants to keep out homeless people who want to spend the night there.

It seems that instead of the agreed 10.000 visitors and now 30.000 people a day can be admitted to the Dusit Maha Prasart Throne Hall where the urn with the body of the king is located. The condition is that people stay neatly in line. The elderly and the disabled are given a separate row.

Minister Suwaphan says that the situation has also been discussed from November 1, when the palace will be open to tourists again. The Ministry of Tourism will inform the tourism sector about transport and other relevant matters.

Visitors from the country who come to Bangkok for a final salute to the king are advised to stay overnight in one of the centers that the municipality has opened for this purpose.
