The Leicester is waiting for you in Thai capital on Sunday and the following day.
Demarai Gray scored the only goal in the 55th minute at Cardiff to earn Leicester the three points, and removed to Srivaddhanaprabha.
The Leicester players and staff also paid tribute to their club with fans traveling after the final whistle.
Speaking to the BBC 's Match of the Day program, Schmeichel said: "It has been hard. We have tried for a few hours, but everyone wanted to play and win for his family. His family has been strong, with the courage they have had.
"I feel just an overwhelming sense of pride in being part of the Vichai family and extended family of Leicester City."
The Dane added: "It was nice to get a win to take care of Thailand and hopefully we did it proud.
"You could not ask for a better chairman. There are few people who come along in this life that have an impact on you. He had so many people, and the outpouring of grievances around the world shows that.
"Everyone grieves in different ways and the opportunity is given to the funeral and we wanted to go. We are looking forward to paying our last respects together. "
