petecooper Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi all We are thinking of visiting the Grand Palace tomorrow (Friday 18th) but have been advised that due to the period of mourning for the Princess, there are new rules that say we must only wear black and white clothes when visiting. Can anyone confirm if this is true or are things back to business-as-usual there now that the funeral has passed? Thanks P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were hundreds of people dressed in black, waiting in line to get in. Can't tell you if what you heard it correct, but at the very least it will be difficult to enter due to the hordes of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raslin Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 You might also like to know that the "funeral" has not passed. Cremation in another couple of months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petecooper Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi all For anyone's information that might be interested, we ended up going to the Palace on the weekend and it's business as usual - you don't have to be wearing only black/white but of course the normal restrictions re pants etc still apply.
