October 13, 2018, marks the second anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s death.
The government has designated Oct. 13 as a national holiday, and since this year the date falls on a Saturday, the bank holiday will be observed on Monday, Oct. 15. All banks and government offices are closed for the day. However, some bank branches in shopping malls may be open to cater to foreign exchange, and most exchange booths throughout the city will be open.
The government invites all to wear yellow and make merit in the morning. People may offer to take part in public services such as road or beach cleaning, picking up garbage, distributing food, and doing other good deeds.
