ADVICE
MORE DETAIL
Aside from disruption to commercial and business activities, a number of funeral rites and related events will take place in the coming weeks in Bangkok. These are most likely to take place in the vicinity of the Grand Palace in the central Na Phra Lan district, the streets around which will be heavily congested.
Our team on the ground has indicated that the Mass Rapid Transport (MRT) subway system, airport train link and Skytrain in Bangkok are currently operational. More information regarding transport disruption is likely to be available in the coming hours. However, we continue to advise that members have pre-arranged and confirmed ground transportation options.
ADVICE
- Travel to Thailand can continue, though flexible itineraries are required due to disruption to business and travel.
- Members should ensure they have access to medical services, ground transport options, fully serviced accommodation and a confirmed return flight prior to arrival in Thailand. Anyone intending to travel to Thailand should contact their Assistance Centre for a comprehensive pre-travel brief covering both medical and safety preparations and the support required to ensure they can complete their trip.
- Maintain a low profile and act respectfully.
- Be respectful when discussing matters associated with the Royal Family.
- Do not engage in any discussions associated with health of Royal Family members, including on social media.
- Do not engage in discussions over the royal succession.
- Avoid overt celebrations in public.
- Avoid wearing bright colours. Neutral colours are the most appropriate.
- It is best to behave with a sombre demeanour when in public.
- Reconfirm business appointments. Members requiring consular services should telephone the relevant diplomatic mission for further information.
- We do not hold information on specific flights; travellers planning to fly to or from the country should reconfirm the status of their flight with the relevant airline.
- Monitor our travel security alerts on Thailand for updates.
