farangmick Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phutoie2 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I went last year... Pretty good turn out.. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alien365 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WALSHYBFC Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 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.
