November 25 - Vajiravudh Day in Thailand

Posted on November 25, 2019

Today is the anniversary of the 1925 death of Thailand's King Vajiravudh. Thailand actually has a lot of these memorial days for various members of royalty - and also celebrates anniversaries of royals' births and coronations. I counted at least 20 such public holidays and national observances!

This is Thailand's current royal family:
