• Many Thai people will be wearing black or white clothing as a sign of mourning. This is not required of visitors but if possible, they should wear sombre and respectful clothing when in public.
• Visitors should refrain from conducting any inappropriate or disrespectful behaviour.
• Tourist attractions will be open as usual with the exception of Wat Phra Kaeo (Temple of the Emerald Buddha) and the Grand Palace, as they will be the venue of the Royal Funeral Rites.
• The Government has asked for the cooperation from the entertainment venues; such as, bars and nightclubs to consider the opening of their business operations during this time. The decision will be made by the individual owners.
• Most of the traditional and cultural events will be taking place as usual, although the celebrations may be changed for appropriateness as a mark of respect, or the events may be dedicated to the memory of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

La Thailandia sta vivendo un periodo di lutto Nazionale in seguito alla scomparsa di Sua Maestà il Re Bhumibol Adulyadej.
A questo proposito, l'Autorità del Turismo della Thailandia (TAT) vorrebbe tutti i visitatori in Thailandia per continuare con i loro piani di viaggio come di consueto. Vorrebbe inoltre gentilmente informare di quanto segue:
• Abbigliamento bianco o nero: Molte persone thailandesi indosseranno abiti scuri in segno di lutto. Questo non è imposto ai visitatori, ma se possibile si chiede d'indossare indumenti scuri e rispettosi almeno in pubblico.
• I visitatori dovrebbero astenersi dal condurre qualsiasi comportamento inappropriato o irrispettoso.
• Le attrazioni turistiche saranno aperti come di consueto con l'eccezione di Wat Phra Kaeo (Tempio del Buddha di smeraldo) e il Grand Palace, in quanto sarà la sede della Royal funebri riti.
• Il governo ha chiesto la collaborazione da parte dei locali d'intrattenimento come ad esempio, bar e discoteche a prendere in considerazione l'apertura delle loro attività durante questo periodo. La decisione verrà presa dai singoli proprietari.
• La maggior parte degli eventi tradizionali e culturali si svolgeranno come di consueto, anche se le celebrazioni possono essere modificate come un segno di rispetto, o gli eventi potranno esser dedicati alla memoria di Sua Maestà Re Bhumibol Adulyadej.
• Tutti i trasporti, banche, ospedali ed altri servizi pubblici saranno operativi come al solito.
• Le autorità di polizia hanno intensificato le misure di sicurezza e controllo del territorio per tutti i thailandesi e visitatori al fine di facilitare gli spostamenti nel regno.
• Per qualsiasi richiesta informazioni si prega di contattare i nostri uffici TAT oppure telefonicamente al numero 1672.
TAT ringrazia tutti i visitatori per la loro comprensione e il sostegno al popolo Thailandese durante questo periodo di tempo.
