For reference: across the border in Cambodia, both King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia and the Prime Minister Hun Sen have made separate statements of condolence to the UK.

I wonder if Thailand will have a royal representative at the Queen's funeral?

As the centre of the universe, Thailand sets the rules, therefore it's sufficient for some underiing to issue the notice as and when considered necessary.
