The Remembrance Day service commemoration at the British Club WILL NOT actually be held on  Remembrance Day, it is being held the day before. Traditionally Remembrance commemorations in Bangkok were held on Remembrance Sunday and not on November 11th unless the two coincided, as they did last year. Now that the British Embassy has moved this year's Bangkok commemoration will be held at the British Club. There will be a full service of commemoration with wreath laying at the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery at 11.00 am on Monday November 11th with a smaller wreath laying ceremony afterwards at the Chungkai War Cemetery. The main ceremony in Kanchanaburi is usually attended by dignitaries, diplomats, military and hundreds of expats and tourists.

I know the question is in relation to Bangkok, but for reference for those residents in the North, there will be Service of Remembrance at the Foreign Cemetery in Chiang Mai on Monday 11th November 2019 at 11:00am. This is organised in association with the Royal British Legion (Chiang Mai Branch), the British Embassy (Bangkok), the USA Consulate (Chiang Mai), the US Veterans Association, local International Schools and other respected local organisations. The Foreign Cemetery is situated alongside the Gymkhana and Golf Club on the east side of the River Ping.

The British Embassy used to do a superb service in the grounds of the beautiful old embassy building on Wireless Road. Bulldozed to make way for yet another shopping mall, that's progress for you.

Thank you.  I did not know of the Foreign Cemetery

 

I shall be in Bangkok this year and will attend the service at the British Club.  It is being held at the British Club because the British War Memorial has been moved from the old embassy (now gone, sadly) to the British Club.
