When the Supreme Patriarch died in 2013 there were various announcements that the Loy Krathong and the Yi Peng Festival would be cancelled. Those statements were later amended and events went ahead. I’m not saying that will be the case here too, but it does demonstrate a point. The passing of the King is on another level. This is an unprecedented time in Thai history. If events or festivals do end up being cancelled, then so be it.
