Thailand Will Resume Entertainments after Mourning Period Ends
The party scenes in Thailand will go back to life on 14 November, after a month-long suspension for mourning the loss of people's beloved King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
The death of the 88-year-old monarch on 13 October this year thrust the nation into sudden grief. After the death announcement, the Royal Government of Thailand imposed restrictions on all recreational activities including musicals, theaters, concerts, and sporting events. Soap operas were asked to go off the air, and fairs and festivals were postponed as well. Even though there were no limits to tourism, the visitors were still overwhelmed by the repressive mourning atmosphere that hung over the kingdom.
According to Thailand's Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-Ocha, the normal entertainment of everyday life can resume on 14 November with TV channels airing soap operas again and celebrations taking place on schedule.

The upcoming festival is the Loi Krathong Festival held on 14 November, which is universally recognized as the most charming one of all Thai festivals. Christmas celebrations, New Year countdowns, as well as Chinese New Year, will go ahead as planned. The visitors can feel assured to go to Thailand and enjoy the passion and hospitality of this country.
However, the authority still recommends visitors wear plain-colored clothes to show reverence to the late King and avoid any disrespectful and inappropriate behavior.
