Background
The Royal Thai Government has announced national mourning following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, The Queen Mother, to honour her lifelong dedication and contributions to the Thai nation and the Thai people.

Official Mourning Guidelines

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced the following measures:

All government offices, state enterprises, and educational institutions will fly the national flag at half-mast for 30 days, starting 25 October 2025.

Government officials, state enterprise employees, and civil servants are requested to wear mourning attire for one year from this date.

Members of the public are encouraged to dress in black or subdued colours for 90 days as a gesture of remembrance and respect.

Public Activities and Events

The Cabinet has not issued any order to suspend public activities, entertainment events, or business operations. However, organisers are encouraged to exercise discretion and adjust event formats appropriately to reflect the national atmosphere of mourning. The Government understands many in the entertainment, tourism, and hospitality sectors may have planned activities and events in advance. Businesses are therefore advised to proceed with sensitivity and make suitable adjustments to ensure decorum and to honour Her Majesty’s memory.

During this period, TAT-organised events will be adjusted in format, with festive and celebratory elements postponed until further notice.

Tourism and Daily Life in Thailand

During this period, Thailand remains open and fully operational. All tourist attractions, transportation services, restaurants, shops, and events continue as usual. Visitors are kindly requested to dress and behave respectfully, particularly when visiting temples, royal sites, or government premises.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) extends its deepest condolences on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, The Queen Mother, and joins the Thai people in paying tribute to her enduring legacy of service, compassion, and devotion to the nation.
