Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul says the government has imposed no ban on private celebrations or entertainment events following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother.
He said while celebrations are not prohibited, organisers are encouraged to adjust the tone of their events to reflect the national atmosphere of mourning.
Mr Anutin called for cooperation from the entertainment sector to scale back or modify celebratory activities appropriately.
"There is no ban on concerts or festive gatherings," Mr Anutin told the press at Government House. "The prime minister's secretary general [Traisuree Taisaranakul] has clarified the matter,'' he said.
When asked whether traditional ceremonies such as weddings could proceed, Mr Anutin said cultural and religious events may continue as usual. Alcohol sales and venue operating hours remain unchanged but he urged business owners to avoid excessive revelry.
