Thai Government Holds 50-Day Merit-Making Ceremony for Princess Bajrakitiyabha
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul presided over a religious ceremony at Government House to mark the 50th day of merit-making for Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha.
On July 30, 2026, the Thai government organized a religious merit-making ceremony at Government House to commemorate the 50th day since the passing of Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha Narendira Debyavati Krom Luang Ratchasarinee Siripatchara Maha Ratchathida. According to Prachachat Business, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul served as the chairperson for the event, which was held to offer merit in honor of the late Princess.
For residents and travelers in Thailand, it is important to note that such events are significant occasions of national mourning and respect. While the ceremony at Government House is a formal state function, visitors may observe heightened displays of respect or local observances in various parts of the country. As Thailand maintains deep reverence for the monarchy, travelers should be mindful of local customs and maintain a respectful demeanor when encountering public displays of mourning or official ceremonies.
At this time, the government has focused on the formal religious proceedings. There are no further details regarding additional public events or changes to government operations following this specific milestone. Travelers are encouraged to follow local news outlets for any updates regarding public access to areas near government buildings or potential changes to official schedules during periods of national significance.
