The Administration Center for the Royal Cremation of the late king Bhumibol Adulyadej announced some official rules to follow for those that plan to attend the royal cremation ceremonies at Sanam Luang between today and Sunday.

They announced that ceremony-goers should not: carry metal or weapons into the ceremonial area; wear jeans, tight clothes, sleeveless shirts, or spaghetti straps; chant “Long Live the King;” take photos with DSLR cameras, use tripods or take selfies; use colorful umbrellas, fans, hats or sunglasses; leave the designated spectator areas or block the Royal Processions

They have also asked attendees to remain as calm as possible and to not tease or incite others around them. The ceremonies are expected to draw more than 200,000 to Sanam Luang over the next few days, as people say a final farewell to their late king.
