Taking selfies, other ‘inappropriate behaviour’ at Grand Palace condemned by deputy governor

The deputy governor said such behaviour continued to be exhibited around Sanam Luang near the Grand Palace, where mourning for His Majesty the King is underway.
Inappropriate behaviour included wearing improper clothing and taking selfies with the Grand Palace as the backdrop. Some people had also been seen dressed as super heroes, Amnuay said.
Others had been caught carrying alcohol, which was also inappropriate, Amnuay added.
The centre had learned that some drivers of the supposedly free volunteer motorbike taxis had charged passengers.
People should report the drivers to the centre, he said.
The deputy governor warned mourners to take care of their belongings as members of the public far outnumbered officers and volunteers. If people find or see something suspicious, they should report it to the centre quickly as possible, Amnuay said.
Meanwhile, Bangkok City Hall urged adults to look after the elderly and children in their families after as many as 151 children had become lost at Sanam Luang during the past week, while 72 senior citizens had been separated from their caregivers.
The Interior Ministry’s lost and found centre reported a similar number of children and senior citizens getting lost during the same period. Officials urged parents and carers to take photographs of their children or elderly members of their families in |case they became lost and to attach notes bearing their names and contact numbers to them.
City Hall also urged people wanting to help at the park to contact it or the Volunteer for Dad Centre run by Thammasat University to help to manage their assistance better.
People can contact City Hall at 1855 or at the volunteer centre on 091-814-2076.
