.....According to him, the vicinity of Sanam Luang covers an area of about 150,000 square metres and can accommodate 250,000-300,000 people.
Only 40,000 people would see royal processions in the ceremony. They must come to wait for the royal processions at 5am on Oct 25 and remain there until Oct 26, the cremation day.
The government arranged for facilities for them including toilets in government offices and mobile toilets. Lt Gen Sansern advised the people who would be there to bring their food, water and medicines.
