At 08:00 AM on July 30 at the Parliament House, the Senate held a religious merit-making ceremony to mark the 50th day of passing (Panyasamavar) dedicated to Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha Narendiradebyavati Krom Luang Ratchasarini Siripatchra Maha Watchara Ratchathida. The solemn gathering demonstrated profound loyalty and devotion from the legislative branch's personnel.

Key figures from the Senate attended the sacred proceedings in person, featuring the following participants:

  • Mr. Mongkol Surasajja, President of the Senate, serving as the chairman of the chanting ceremony
  • Gen. Kriangkrai Srirak, First Vice-President of the Senate
  • Mr. Boonsong Noisophon, Second Vice-President of the Senate
  • Members of the Senate, alongside Mrs. Pannita Sathantripob, Secretary-General of the Senate
  • Executives and personnel from the Office of the Senate Secretariat

Panyasamavar is a traditional Buddhist memorial rite conducted on the fiftieth day following a passing. Organizing such a ceremony at the national legislative headquarters highlights the deep institutional respect and cultural significance attached to honoring revered members of the royal family.

Following the chanting ritual, Senate President Mongkol Surasajja, accompanied by the vice-presidents, senators, executive management, and secretariat personnel, proceeded to the banks of the Chao Phraya River. There, they partook in a merit-making alms-giving ceremony presented to 10 Buddhist monks.
