今天是卻克里王朝日 Chakri Memorial Day วันจักรี (wan jàk-grii)
卻克里王朝日是泰國公眾假期，紀念1782年建立Chakri朝代的和曼谷的國王Phutthayotfa Chulalok（拉瑪1世），正式名稱為「國王Phutthayotfa Chulalok的偉大日子」。2016年日期：4月6日。如果4月6日適逢週末，那麼下週一將作為替補這個假日。
在這一天，國王陛下，在其他王室成員伴隨下，主持在皇室禮堂舉行的宗教儀式。他將在皇室教堂瞻仰卻克里王朝的歷任國王，其中包含Chakri朝代前八個國王的真人大小的雕像，及在拉瑪一世國王在紀念大橋的雕像敬獻花環。由於這節日通常在潑水節幾天前舉行，這也是一個機會，讓人民提前準備潑水節的慶祝活動。
在這一天，政府機關、學校、銀行會關閉，但大多數其他私人企業將如常辦公。
Chakri Memorial Day is a national holiday in Thailand. It commemorates the establishment of the Chakri Dynasty and the founding of Bangkok by King Phutthayotfa Chulalok (Rama 1) in 1782. Officially known as King Phutthayotfa Chulalok the Great Day and Chakri Dynasty Memorial Day (วันพระบาทสมเด็จพระพุทธยอดฟ้าจุฬาโลกมหาราชและวันที่ระลึกมหาจักรีบรมราชวงศ์). 2016 date: 6 April. If 6 April falls on a weekend, then the following Monday will be taken as a substitute holiday.
On this day, His Majesty The King, accompanied by other members of the royal household, presides over the religious ceremonies held at the royal chapel. He will pay respects to his predecessors at the Royal Pantheon, which contains life-size statues of the first eight kings of the Chakri dynasty, and will lay a wreath at the statue of King Rama I at the Memorial Bridge. As this holiday always falls a few days before the three days of Songkran festival, it is also an opportunity for many people to travel in preparation for the Songkran festivities.
Government offices, schools, and banks close, but most other businesses open as usual on this day.
