As the nation steps into the New Year, the 'Bangkok Post' highlights several events that will define the months ahead

Major moments to watch

Officials install a large portrait of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother at Government House after her passing on Oct 24, as the government begins a year-long mourning period for state personnel.

(CHANAT KATANYU)

Thais will continue to honour the legacy of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother well into 2026 as preparations for the royal cremation ceremony are set to take shape next year.

Thailand began a period of national mourning following the passing of the much-revered queen, who, along with His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great, has graced Thailand with her examples of kindness, generosity and a relentless devotion to the betterment of all Thais.

Since Nov 9 the public has been welcomed to pay their respects to the royal remains at the Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall in the Grand Palace.
