A long slate of activities are being held around the country to mark the occasion.

No information was forthcoming from Pattaya City Hall about local events, but they released the following information which may or may not be in effect here: regarding regional areas and overseas, provincial governors and ambassadors are assigned to operate a blessing ceremony and hold activities on August 12 as appropriate.

There will be a Dharma Practice Project August 11-13 at Buddha Mountain and dharma retreats across the country.

Additionally, Permanent Secretary of the Prime Minister Office said that on this auspicious occasion, the government would like to invite the public and private sectors and all civilians to decorate their buildings and homes with HM Queen Sirikit’s photo, Thai National flags, and flags with “Sor Kor”. Moreover, blessing books will be set up for people to sign at multiple locations and the government sends out an invitation for everyone to wear blue throughout the month of August to honor the Queen.
