Bangkok: The Bureau of the Royal Household has announced the schedule for public visits to pay respects to the royal remains at Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall in the Grand Palace.

According to Thai News Agency, the Royal Household Bureau has received royal permission for the public to pay their respects to the Royal Remains of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother. Following a 15-day merit-making ceremony, the hall will open for public viewing daily from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., starting Sunday, November 9, 2025.

The public can pay their respects during four specific periods: 8:00 a.m. – 10:45 a.m., 12:00 p.m. – 4:45 p.m., 5:45 p.m. – 6:30 p.m., and 7:45 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Attendees are requested to dress appropriately for mourning, with specific guidelines for attire, including black or white clothing, collared shirts, and skirts or sarongs for women. Denim skirts or jeans are not permitted. The Royal Palace has also outlined procedures for entering and exiting the Throne Hall, including a screening process and attire checks.

Upon arrival at Sanam Luang, visitors must pass through a screening point and wait in a provided tent. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration has arranged chairs for this purpose. Volunteer officers will guide visitors through the Na Phra Lan Tunnel, where they will undergo baggage checks and a photo scan. Those not wearing skirts must change into sarongs at the designated borrowing point, where they will register with their national ID or passport.

Visitors will then be escorted to the Mani Noppharat Gate, following a path through the Grand Palace complex to the Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall. After paying their respects, they will exit through the western glass wall and be provided with an electric tram service back to Sanam Luang. Those arriving after 3:30 p.m. will follow a slightly different route, entering through the Maninoprat Gate and following directions to the Throne Hall.

Additionally, the Grand Palace will reopen to tourists and the public from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., starting November 9, 2025. Tourists can enter through the Maninoprat Gate and follow a designated route to visit various sections of the Grand Palace and the Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles. Tickets can be purchased at the Grand Palace ticket office, ensuring a structured and respectful visit for all attendees.
