Planning a Trip to Thailand in December?
If you're heading to Thailand in December, be ready to see a vibrant sea of yellow upon landing in Bangkok. This is in honor of the King's birthday celebrations.
Celebrating His Majesty
December 5th marks the birthday of His Royal Highness, the King of Thailand, who will celebrate in grand style as he turns 80. Citizens have been encouraged to wear yellow shirts from December 1st to December 5th to pay tribute to King Bhumibol Adulyadej. This tradition began last year, following the 60th anniversary of the King’s ascension to the throne.
Exciting Events
Numerous ceremonies are planned throughout the country. Prestigious performances by Russia’s Mariinsky Theatre will honor the King, with public shows on December 6th and 8th, and a private performance for the Royal Family on December 7th.
Of course, no royal birthday is complete without a grand parade. On December 5th, a procession featuring holy water will move from Wat Phra Chetuphon Vimolmangklararm to the Chakri Maha Prasat Throne Hall. His Majesty will address the public at 10:30 am. In the evening, at the Chitralada Royal Villa, well-wishers will light candles in his honor, with the event broadcast on television.
Political Climate and Holidays
Elections for the new Prime Minister are scheduled for December 23rd. Visitors should be cautious around government buildings, as there might be unrest. To facilitate voting, the government has declared December 24th a public holiday, allowing Thais to travel home to participate in the elections.
Festive Celebrations
Tourist areas will also be alive with Christmas and New Year festivities, featuring decorations, gifts, and fireworks. However, remain vigilant, as there were minor incidents last year on New Year's Eve.
Holiday Cheer
For those bringing children, rumor has it that Santa Claus will make an appearance at the Emporium on Sukhumvit and Soi 26. Unfortunately, his reindeer couldn’t join due to visa issues.
Enjoy your trip and immerse yourself in Thailand’s rich culture and festivities!
