Crowds continue to pay tribute to King Rama IX

As the October 5 deadline draws near, a large number of people from all corners of the country visited the Grand Palace’s Dusit Maha Prasart Throne Hall on Sunday to pay respects before the Royal Urn of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej. 

The Bureau of Royal Household on Saturday reported that a total of 11,564,102 people had visited over the past 332 days. During the same period, public merit-making donations for the late King totalled Bt860,329,098.51.
On Saturday alone, 64,700 mourners visited the throne hall and made Bt4 million in donations for the late monarch.
The beloved King Rama IX passed away on October 13 last year. The Royal Cremation is scheduled for October 25-29.
