BANGKOK: -- THE GOVERNMENT is now looking ahead to facilitate preparations for merit-making ceremonies as larger crowds are expected to mark the 50th and 100th days after HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s passing.

 

The much-revered monarch passed away peacefully at the age of 89 on October 13.

Huge crowds of mourners have surrounded the Grand Palace since then, where his body is resting, to show their undying love and respect for him.

“Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha has instructed the joint safety operation centre to prepare pro-active plans to facilitate everything related to the major merit-making ceremonies on the 50th day and 100th day since His Majesty’s passing,” First Army Area deputy commander and the centre’s deputy chief Maj-General Pongsawat Pannajit said yesterday.
