Although still officially in a period of mourning, the tourism ministry and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) are assuring foreign visitors it is business as usual.
To encourage more tourism, Thailand is offering free entry to national museums, archaeological sites and parks from now until 31 January, 2017.
Authorities last week issued further updates for events that will definitely go ahead as planned in the coming weeks.
"Thailand may be in mourning, but we want to reassure travellers that the Thai people are wearing their famous smiles as well as black clothing, so it’s business as usual in Thailand," said Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul, minister of tourism and sports.
"The Ministry of Tourism and Sports is working closely with public and private tourism organisations to get the message out that all events and festivals, including sports tournaments and cultural traditions, will be going ahead as scheduled."
Events confirmed to take place over the next month include the Laguna Phuket Triathlon, the Thailand Equestrian Princess’s Cup and the Phuket King’s Cup Regatta.
Loi Krathong celebrations will also go ahead as planned around the country although some regions had already cancelled preparations in the immediate aftermath of King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s passing.
The Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok reopened to the public on November 1.
