BANGKOK, May 4 (TNA) – Thailand celebrates the Coronation
Day, marking the coronation of King Maha Vajiralongkorn that took place on 4
May last year.
Thai officials attended ceremonies to commemorate the
coronation one year ago when the King completed the ancient rites including
accepting royal regalia symbolizing the kingship and purification bathing rite
with consecrated water.
May 4 was designated as the Coronation Day and a public
holiday by the Cabinet of ministers later in May, 2019.
Organizers of the commemoration ceremonies such as
provincial administrations of Nakhon Pathom and Trad on Monday applied social
distancing practices to all attendees. (TNA)
