Thailand will be united in celebration of the life of one of its greatest monarchs on King Chulalongkorn Day this October.

PATTAYA, THAILAND, September 29, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Visitors to Pattaya this October will be able to witness the celebrations marking King Chulalongkorn Day, which will be taking place across the nation.
 
Held on October 23rd each year, the memorial event marks the anniversary of the passing of King Chulalongkorn, also known as King Rama V.
 
The monarch is known and revered as one of the greatest rulers in the history of the nation, having overseen sweeping reforms of the country's educational system, military, communications and railway networks.
 
He was also responsible for abolishing the then-common practice of slavery, a feat accomplished without bloodshed, leading to him being seen as a father figure to the Thai people prior to his death in 1910.
 
As a result, ceremonies will be taking place in Pattaya and across the country that will see wreaths and small statues of the renowned king placed at designated points.
 
National flags will be flown from houses and government offices, while merit-making and performances in honour of the king will also take place.
 
Visitors may also be able to attend exhibitions and public seminars designed to raise awareness of King Chulalongkorn's life and legacy.
 
A wide choice of Pattaya hotels is available to cultural tourists at AsiaRooms.com, including the Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort.
