Remembrance Service Sunday 12 November 2023 - Bangkok

The British Embassy in Bangkok will be hosting this year's annual Remembrance Day Service at The British Club.

The annual Remembrance Day Service organised by the British Embassy in Bangkok will be held at The British Club commencing at 1050hrs on Sunday 12 November.  The event will not only commemorate British, Commonwealth, and allied personnel, but all those who have been affected in all conflicts.  It serves as a reminder that nations who fought so bitterly against each other can come together to promote peace and stability in the modern world. 

Wreaths will be laid at the War Memorial by Ambassadors or their representatives, by War Veterans’ organisations and by representatives from associations and societies in Bangkok. Those attending the service are asked to gather from 1020hrs. 

We would be grateful if you would reply via this link or through the QR code provided no later than 1 November 23 if you would like to attend.  Applications for attendance will only be processed via this method and regrettably we cannot guarantee entry for anyone who has not completed this application form. 

If you wish to lay a wreath, they are available from the British Embassy for a donation of 1500 THB each; requests for wreaths and details for payment are included in the attendance response form.  All funds raised will go to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.  There will be an opportunity for personal wreaths to be laid following the service.

Parking is very limited and will only be available for pre-registered VIPs.  There will be no public parking on site.  Travel by public transport is recommended. Public Address The British Club Bangkok, Silom Road Soi 18, Bangrak.  Following the service, light refreshments will be served on the back lawn.
