Queue cards distribution point relocated
The distribution point for queue cards has been moved from Wat Mahathat to the section of Sanam Luang opposite the old Supreme Court building on Rajdamnoen Nai Avenue.
The relocation was confirmed Friday night by Maj-General Pongsawat Panchit, deputy commander of the First Army Area which is responsible for security in the area.
He said the relocation was due to the possibility of long lines.
“The new point is relatively far from the Grand Palace but that will allow space for longer lines and make it is easier to manage the crowd,” he said.
The new queue-card distribution point will open from Saturday, the first day when the Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall will be opened to the public to pay homage to the late King.
Huge crowds of black-clad mourners are expected to pour into Sanam Luang tomorrow morning.
The starting time for distribution of queue cards has not been confirmed but Pongsawat said it would start in the morning “when everything is ready”, based on the judgement of the authorities.
