On Monday morning, the Deputy Permanent Secretary for the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), Mr Taweesak Dechdecho presided over the ceremony of making merit and giving food offerings to 83 Buddhist monks in Sanam Luang.

This event was held for Their Majesties the King and Queen and other members of the Royal Family.
