Although much of the country will wear mourning attire, tourists are not expected to do the same.

Thailand has entered a period of national mourning following the death of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, who passed away on 24 October at the age of 93.

Sometimes referred to as the Mother of the Nation, Queen Sirikit was known for her decades-long efforts to promote Thai culture, traditional crafts and rural development.

Her passing marks a significant moment for Thailand, but Thai officials have made it clear that the country remains open and welcoming to visitors.

Here is what travellers planning a Thailand holiday need to know before they go.
