On 23 October 2026, Ms. Pittara Navarat, Chargé d’Affaires a.i. (CDA) of the Royal Thai Embassy in Stockholm, led Thai officials from the Embassy and Team Thailand, together with family members, to attend a ceremony in remembrance of His Majesty King Chulalongkorn at Chulalongkorn’s Memorial Pavilion in Ragunda. Mr. Anton Hammar, Mayor of Ragunda Municipality, as well as staff members of the Municipality, joined the annual ceremony. Thai monks, Thai communities, and Swedish friends from various cities in Sweden also took part in the ceremony.

In the remarks, the CDA paid tribute to His Majesty and highlighted the success of the Thai cultural performance by the Chulalongkorn University Thai Youth Orchestra (ChulaThaiYO) at the Thai Pavilion in July 2026, marking the 129th anniversary of His Majesty’s visit to Sweden and reflecting the enduring friendship between Thailand and Sweden. Following the ceremony, Ragunda Municipality kindly hosted a luncheon for the delegation at Hotell Älggårdsberget. On this occasion, the CDA and the delegation also visited Wat Piyadhammaram to pay respects to the Thai monks and tour the temple.
