The funeral of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej will be in late October, according to the government spokesman.
A government committee overseeing the funeral arrangements had agreed at a meeting on March 1 that the rites be held by late October, government spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd said on Wednesday.
He said reports that the funeral would be held in late December were incorrect.
It was reported that Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn suggested the rites be scheduled for Dec 25-29.
The reports quoted the Prime Minister’s Office as saying the princess gave the advice during a meeting of the government panel overseeing the funeral of the late King.
