October 23, 201510 yr Last year the service in Kanchanaburi was held on Tues 11th, so I expect the same this year.
October 24, 201510 yr There is a service being held at the British Embassy on Sunday the 8th and a service at Kanchanaburi, Don Rak war cemetery on the 11th. Best to be at the cemetery about 10.30 am.
October 24, 201510 yr Nice to think they are not forgotten. Hope many are there. There will be. Out of the dozen or so Brits I know in our small town, ten are going. I can't walk at the moment, otherwise I'd be there.

Ceremony was a bit too religious for my liking but the hot dogs n beer were bonza I was there too and the Padre from Bangkok does a good job, saying the Lords Prayer once a year is not much to ask. Standing in the warm sunshine of Don Rak sure beats a cold damp morning at the Cenotaph.

A week of that then back here, wonderful. Have one on me Carlos.
November 7, 201510 yr Do they still sell poppies at the cemetery? If so I hope to drive there on Monday, if not I will most likely go pay my respects anyway.

November 8, 201510 yr Attended in 2011, very moving. Also went to the other cemetery across the river in the evening to coincide with UK time and some Korea and Malaysia veterans laid a wreath. There was a woman who was visiting her fathers grave in the cemetery for the first time and they passed the wreath to her to lay. Not a dry eye amongst the small group of us. Lest we forget
November 12, 201510 yr Author Thanks for the replies and info guys. Couldn't make the 11th due to work but managed a few days at the weekend which as always very moving.
