To honor the gracious legacy of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother, please refrain from festive or entertainment activities, especially during the first 30 days of mourning.
To pause completely:
Concerts, parties, dance events, contests, and all forms of public entertainment.
To simplify with respect:
Ceremonies that cannot be postponed—such as weddings or official functions—should remain modest, without music, bright decorations, or celebration.
Meetings or award ceremonies may begin with a moment of silence and be conducted in a calm, respectful manner.
