BANGKOK: -- VOLUNTEER interpreters have been brought in to assist tourists after the reopening of the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.

 

The temple had been off limits to tourists since October 14. Tourists have been allowed to tour the site since November 1.

Thai Airway air purser, Suphavas Varamali, 42, said, “Many tourists know and respect HM the King as one of the world’s important persons influencing Thai people. 

“Some of them asked me about their right to pay homage before the Royal Urn inside the Throne Hall, making me so proud of having a part in working here.”
