Thailand Prepares for 71st Royal Rainmaking Father's Day

The Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation has announced preparations for the 'Royal Rainmaking Father's Day 2026' event. This year marks the 71st anniversary of the initiative, which was established to honor the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej and his contributions to agricultural water management. According to Prachachat Business, the commemorative event will take place from November 14 to November 21 at Wachirabenjathat Park, also known as Rot Fai Park, in Bangkok.

For residents and visitors, this event offers an opportunity to learn about the history and significance of the Royal Rainmaking project, which has played a vital role in mitigating drought conditions across Thailand. The park is a popular public space, and attendees can expect educational exhibits and activities dedicated to the late monarch's legacy. While the event is primarily celebratory and educational, visitors should be aware that the park may experience higher foot traffic during this week. As of now, specific daily schedules and a full list of activities remain to be confirmed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives. Those planning to visit the area for recreational purposes may wish to check for any potential localized congestion or special event programming before arriving.
