Thailand Celebrates Queen Sirikit's 80th Birthday, Mother's Day
Her Majesty Queen Sirikit of Thailand will be celebrating her 80th birthday this Sunday, August 12. The day also serves as Mother's Day in Thailand and is a national holiday.
Since this year August 12 falls on a Sunday, however, the public holiday will be observed on Monday, August 13, with government offices, banks, embassies, local immigration bureaus etc. closed for a day. Entertainment venues and money exchange booths will be open as usual.
Queen Sirikit is the world's longest-serving consort to a monarch, just as King Bhumibol, with a reign of 66 years so far, is the world's longest-serving monarch.
If you wish to join the Queen's birthday celebrations in Pattaya, at 5pm on Sunday there will be a parade along Pattaya Beach Road down to Bali Hai Pier at the southern end of Walking Street, where at 6.30pm the city’s official birthday celebration will take place, including candle lighting ceremonies and a fireworks show.
