Pol Maj Gen Jiraphat Phumichit, acting deputy chief of the bureau, said police would close traffic around the two sites as a lot of people are expected to join the praying rites.
The traffic around Sanam Luang will be closed at 8:30 pm on New Year Eve while the roads around Central World will be closed at noon on December 30, Jiraphat said.
