Agenda: Remembrance Day Kanchanaburi 15 August
Dear Dutch people in Thailand, on August 15, the ceremony will take place in Kanchanaburi to commemorate the end of the Second World War in Asia and all the victims of the war with Japan and the Japanese occupation.
Agenda: Remembrance Day 2023 in Bangkok
On Thursday, May 4, 2023, the annual commemoration of the dead will take place at the Dutch embassy in Bangkok. This day offers the Dutch people the opportunity to come together and reflect on the human losses of the Second World War, including a wreath laying and two minutes of silence.
The heavily clouded sky on the war cemeteries in Kanchanaburi on 4 May was an excellent match for the commemoration of the fallen in the Second World War. On that occasion, about forty Dutch people expressed their appreciation for the fact that thousands in Thailand also gave their lives. Dutch, Australians, English (just to name a few countries) and many, many Asians. They are usually paid less attention at commemorations.
Those who stay in Thailand will undoubtedly also want to commemorate the victims of the Second World War and other wars. You do this, among other things, by being silent for two minutes between 20.00:20.02 and XNUMX:XNUMX Dutch time. New is that you can now also place a digital flower in memory.
Reverent silence on May 4, 2022
