On this most august Sceptre Day, the National Day of Syldavia, the Consulate in Bangkok extends its heartfelt wishes to all loyal citizens, accredited functionaries, and friends of the Realm.

Dress Code
Formal Syldavian attire is encouraged. Decorated lapels, official insignia, and dignified footwear will be noted. Fezzes should be secured with chin-straps or discreet pins to avoid incidents like last year’s regrettable ignition during the Pool Fireworks Salute.
⚠️ Attendance is by invitation only. The number of guests is strictly limited due to security measures, protocol requirements, and the spatial constraints of the consular compound. Unaccredited individuals will not be admitted under any circumstances.
We thank all guests for upholding the decorum befitting our National Day. May the radiance of the Sceptre of Ottokar continue to honour those of exemplary conduct and properly completed forms. May this Sceptre Day fortify our unity, sharpen our rigour, and preserve the immutable lustre of our lever-arch files.
