Would it be okay for me (a student from the U.S.) to make a small flower memorial for King Chulalongkorn Day for my culture project?

Hi everyone! I hope this is okay to ask here. I’m a high school student from the U.S. doing a long-term passion project and vlog where I learn about people’s different cultures and traditions around the world.

I recently learned about King Chulalongkorn Day on October 23, and I was really inspired by how deeply he’s respected in Thailand for his leadership and reforms. Sadly, I can’t travel to Thailand to visit a statue or pay respects in person I’m just a teenager and don’t have the money to go.

So I wanted to ask people from Thailand if it would be respectful or appropriate for me to make a small flower memorial here, with a photo of King Chulalongkorn and a handwritten letter, and then release it gently into a pond as a way to honor him and show appreciation for Thai culture.

I want to make sure this idea comes across as respectful and not offensive, since it comes from a place of admiration and wanting to learn. Would that be okay, or is there a better or more respectful way to do it from abroad?

Thank you so much for any advice 💛
