The event received great interest with more than 1,300 people in attendance consisting of representatives from the Thai Government, diplomatic corps, UN and representatives from countries affected by the tsunami as well as participants from the general public.  The programme included remarks by Thai and foreign dignitaries, observance of a moment of silence, wreath laying ceremony and candlelight memorial.

General Prayut Chan-o-cha, Prime Minister of Thailand, presided over the remembrance ceremony during which he paid respect to lives lost from the tsunami and expressed his appreciation to all agencies and individuals, in Thailand and elsewhere, for  their assistance, goodwill and kindness.  During such a hard time, Thailand witnessed an outpouring of support from all corners of the globe in assisting disaster victims and community rehabilitation.  Many government officials, charitable organizations and volunteers from Thailand and other countries came to assist disaster victims.  The losses have also served as a reminder for all to learn how to cope with natural disasters and to take precautionary measures in reducing loss of lives and property.
