It's been decided to go ahead but more as a celebration to the King

The powers that be did cancel the event but a few days later had another meeting

and the event will only be 4 days 17, 18 19 and 20' Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday.

There is to be a special event to respect the King.We have a relative who works in 

the office that looks after this kind of stuff in Surin
