Good that everyone can show their respect, without having to travel too far. Very good initiative.
The people loved their King, and now they get the chance to show that closer to home.

2016? Typo!

Quote

• There are also 743 other spots for laying dok mai chan in the country.

Important side-note.

Seems like many district towns will have a particular ceremony.

The daughter has fortunately abandoned the idea of traveling to Bangkok (in a group) and will just be at the district town.
