For those who lives / resides in Thailand, wearing black or white color wardrobe in order to pay respect to the Royal Cremation of Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, set for 6 days from November 14th - 19th, 2008. http://photojourn.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/thailands-royal-cremation-set-for-six-days-in-november/

If I were in Thailand, I would wear white or black to pay respect for her. Very sad!

Bars will have no music and i guess not selling drinks so now Thai visa forum will be full of people crying about that.

Love Live the king of Thailand sure i will have black those days.

Nice that you are showing your respect right now by posting this.

Sure...many will respect for her...

any death are upset and very sad...

i guess bars and maybe some shops are closed!

bars will be closed, is that only what you concern about? geez. I think u can give it a miss for few days, cant ya!

Rightly so, bars clubs n discos will be closed fpor three days. Bad news if you are a bar owner or manager and lose the three businest trading days of the week.

Even sader, my office will NOT be closed, so I gotta work *cry*.

Wow..seems like a harsh criticism..

but don't understand me or anything wrong..

i don't care close or not...it's just based on a fact...

Well..maybe you had some bad experience with farang..

but believe me...not all the same!

Btw..i am in Germany..hard working..and i missing Thailand...but not the bars..lol.

Just take it easy and respect to our beloved Princess...

Have a nice Day!

I only suggest it because i do not want you to look like a "black sheep" if you are not wearing black like everyone else....

I do not think bars will be closed. Not that i know of.

Just saying that respect is earned and not demanded or imposed, that's all

Thank you, at first I heard 14-16..

@sunsnow: This is bad!..... it's how the Rolyal Family in Thailand do.... to pay respect to their beloved one and we believe this is to send her to rest in peace in the heaven.. Thats why take time build everything you can see now, no permanent building for this coz we don't plan for any event like this.

How could you dare to say this? I urge you to remove your post and if cannot find any nice word just stay silence.

Your pessimistic criticism is not appreciated onto this subject. sorry guyz.

When in Rome, do what Romans do. Thats all what i have to say.

No one wrong to see thing different than others but sometime it's very sensitive to say it out loud.

Still this is bad.. and you can stand your point right there.. I was just "urge" but who am I to tell you to do something. Yep, Im no one.

It has been done for hundred of years before. What do you want me to say.

Like babyoiy said, keep it to yourself if you don't have any nice thing to say.

For your information: we do not criticize Royal Family like in bad manners like the Europians. Get it? or you will be put in jail. Literally.

Go see it yourself, and you will understand why. Wear black though.

Have you ever lost someone you love? seriously...

i am putting my black suit in the dry cleaners tonight. damn. what the hell am I gonna do?

SWB, U should not waste your time dear....

Go look up at ¾ÃáóաԨ what she has done in the past for poor people every part of the country... and the royal projects that getting doctors volunteers to help curing sickness for people in poverty in rural areas... Continuing the Mae Fa Luang Project that the King's mother had started... on the mountains where area nobody used to care about, created workplace where they live so they do not have to come to the city to become prostitutes.... stopping the opium plantation.... How can't a single Thai person love such a person, who had done a great deal for this country.

You can actually learn how to love someone too.

Sorry for having to deleted few posts of someones, many people find they were very inappropriate.

OK updates: Most clubs will be closed on 14th 15th and 16th... Some will remain open... Check first before you go.
