Their Majesties the King and Queen will on Thursday preside over a royal ceremony for the unveiling of a statue of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great at the new Chalerm Phrakiat Park in Dusit district.
The government has prepared a free shuttle bus service to the ceremony on four routes across the city for people to travel to Covid-19 screening areas and onto the security checkpoints.
The first shuttle bus taking participants to the ceremony arrives at 8am and the last one at 4pm, while buses taking participants from the ceremony site after it ends will run until everyone has left.
Food and beverages will be provided free of charge during the ceremony. It starts at 5pm.
Meanwhile, Thais are looking forward to the completion of the public park which is expected to become a new major landmark in Bangkok.
Designed as a forest park covering 279 rai in Dusit district, thousands of new trees will provide the capital with another much-needed "green lung".
The park will have reminders of King Rama IX and Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother, giving visitors an opportunity to learn about their contributions to forest and water resource management.
