Thailand's Vijit Chao Phraya 2025 festival will now take place from November 9 to December 23, with drone shows replacing fireworks to honour the Queen Mother.
Atthakorn Sirilatthayakorn, Minister of Tourism and Sports, announced that the Vijit Chao Phraya 2025 festival has been postponed to November 9-December 23 to allow adjustments to the event's format in honour of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother.
The minister confirmed that the government has no policy to ban or cancel year-end festivals or events, which play an important role in boosting tourism during the high season.
"We are simply asking organisers to adjust the content and tone of their events to suit the current atmosphere," Atthakorn said.
He explained that many organisers had already made significant investments, and both Thai and foreign tourists had booked travel plans in advance, so cancelling events would cause unnecessary losses.
