We are unsure whether this is a topic worth writing about.

We want to share this experience with everyone because we know many people would like to attend the royal ceremony at Sanam Luang but may be unable to due to travel constraints, the large crowds, or other reasons. We will share what we saw and keep this memory with us forever.

October 26th is a date that evokes profound sadness for many.

We woke up feeling heavy-hearted. Scrolling through Facebook, everyone was sharing stories about His Majesty.

Today, we feel a strong desire to escort His Majesty as close as we possibly can.

Another strange thing happened. It usually rains every day, but today it only rained for about 15 minutes. It was like it was raining to cool us down, and I think everyone would agree that it was because of His Majesty's grace. I was lucky enough to be on the bus while it was raining.

Throughout our journey, we witnessed countless acts of volunteerism. From free transportation to food and beverages, the volunteers were wholeheartedly dedicated to serving the public who came to participate in the event. This spirit of generosity was truly present throughout the entire journey.

The shuttle bus dropped us off at Nang Loeng. We then had to walk to our destination.


Volunteers are constantly distributing snacks and food along the way, so don't worry about getting tired or hungry.

She then walked to the checkpoint.

And walked to the front of the sky, there are really a lot of people.

Front of the fort.

The event was attended by both Thai and international participants.

The road from Democracy Monument to Sanam Luang will have screens set up at various points to watch the royal ceremony. Seeing this, I couldn't help but shed tears.

This place is crowded. Everyone is here with a sincere heart.

The police and soldiers performed their duties with honor, despite the heat and rain.

As dusk settled over the Phra Pin Klao Bridge, the crowds swelled, filling the space with a vibrant energy. (Please excuse the shadows in the photo; it was getting dark and the lighting was poor.)

From the Phra Pin Klao Bridge, on the right side, people are queuing to lay floral tributes at the replica of the Royal Crematorium.

We walked out of here and continued walking until we reached Wat Chana Songkhram, where there was also a queue.

Some people have been queuing for 5 hours.

One day, when I grow up, I will understand why I am here today.

A steady stream of people approached Wat Bowonniwet Vihara beyond the Bang Lamphu intersection to offer marigolds. The line extended beyond the street, with police officers present to maintain order.

Ultimately, we ended up walking back in again. It was almost nine o'clock at night, and we were torn between leaving and staying.

Let's take a break at the live broadcast area. There is a flower offering point next to it with no queue. You can walk right in. There will be staff members to assist you. Women wearing pants or short skirts will be provided with a sarong to wear.

Senior officials will give the signal for the salute.

After offering the marigolds, we continued on our original path.

Along the way, we witnessed a heartwarming scene. Foreigners were seen carrying large bags of burgers, which they distributed to police officers as a gesture of appreciation. On behalf of the officers, we extend our gratitude.

The crowd has grown even larger since my last update. It's almost 10 pm now.

We believe we are as close to our father as we have ever been.

By 8 p.m., there was almost no room to walk. According to the schedule, it will be the royal cremation ceremony.

We decided to walk under the Phra Pin Klao Bridge to the screening point to enter the Sanam Luang field.

At the screening point, please present your identification card to the officer. You will receive a sticker with a number. The officer will then enter your information based on the sticker. Your bag will be checked, and then you will be allowed to enter.

Upon arrival, attendees were required to wait as the doors had not yet opened for entry. Meanwhile, some individuals were observed exiting the venue.

We waited there until after 11 p.m. until

Amidst the sounds of the royal anthem and traditional Thai music from the Khon performance stage, a thick white smoke billowed from the Phra Meru Mas. Despite the cacophony, everyone stood in solemn silence, tears welling up in their eyes. The atmosphere was heavy with grief, and the sight of the smoke served as a poignant reminder of the immense loss.

We stood there in stunned silence for a long moment, as if processing the fact that this couldn't be real. The person next to me knelt down and prostrated themselves, even though the ground where we stood was covered in stagnant water. Some people were still crying, and all I could hear was the sound of my own sobs. When I looked around at the faces of those around me, all I saw were tears threatening to spill over.

Many people dispersed to return home, while others waited for a long time to enter the royal crematorium. As for us, we started looking for something to eat and then sat down to wait. In that area, there were portraits of His Majesty, similar to an exhibition. And this is the portrait that we liked the most.

We really can't look at it for long. Many people must think like us that we are still like this. How strong must our mother be?

After finishing our meal, we exited the restaurant and noticed that nearly half of the crowd had disappeared. It was likely past midnight at this point. We waited patiently until the venue opened its doors to the public.

The interior boasts three magnificent stages for entertainment.

A stage for theatrical performances (featuring multiple shows, though we only briefly visited each. The stages are all located in close proximity to one another.)

Thai musical ensemble (not sure what it's called)

A stage for singing royal compositions

The event featured performances by artists, celebrities, and bands from various organizations.

The final stage is the one where we sit for a long time.

This is a Khon performance of the Ramayana. There will be many pictures.

Let Sita walk through the fire to prove her innocence.

We slept around 2:30 am to 3:30 am, approximately. We fell asleep right in front of the stage because our bodies couldn't take it anymore. Other people had mats and plastic sheets to sit on, but we had nothing, so we slept on the ground. It was cold and there was dew. When we woke up, we continued taking pictures and sat down to watch the rest of the show. We watched until the Khon performance ended, around 5:15 am, and then we left. The last stage to close was the Royal Composition Music stage.

Our deepest gratitude goes out to the cast, crew, staff, military and police personnel, all relevant agencies, and volunteers. Everyone involved put in their utmost effort. We sincerely thank you all.

We are determined to do good deeds for His Majesty, to continue his work, and to hold him as a role model in our lives.

The final image is truly impeccable, a perfect embodiment of His Majesty's dignity and grace.

In conclusion, I am proud to be born under the shade of the Bodhi tree, and I am eternally grateful for the boundless grace of the Lord.

May you rest in eternal peace.
