The event was attended by about 35 participants, including officials from the Royal Thai Embassy, officials of the Thai Airways International, board members of the Sri Lanka – Thailand Society, and board members of the Sri Lanka - Thailand Business Council, and members of the Thai community. During the ceremony, 12 monks from Sri Sambhodi Maha Viharaya Temple and Jayasekararamaya Temple offered blessing to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother. Afterwards, participants offered dhana and alms to the 12 monks.
