Thailand's Newly Crowned King Maha Vajiralongkorn Celebrates Coronation With Elaborate Procession

- Thailand’s newly crowned King Maha Vajiralongkorn made a spectacular public appearance in front of his countrymen Sunday, carried atop a golden palanquin by soldiers in ancient fighting uniforms in a procession through Bangkok’s historic quarter.
Soldiers marched in front, behind and alongside the palanquin in scorching heat as the procession set off from Bangkok’s Grand Palace just after 5 p.m. as a marching band set the pace. Also taking part in the slow march were the prime minister and other senior officials in the military government as well as the king’s wife, Queen Suthida, and one of his daughters, Princess Bajrakitiyabha.
Vajiralongkorn on Saturday took part in an elaborate set of Buddhist and Hindu rituals that established his status as a full-fledged monarch with complete regal powers.
Also known as King Rama X, the 10th king of the Chakri dynasty, Vajiralongkorn had already been serving as king since the October 2016 death of his father, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who was on the throne for seven decades.
Though Thailand has had a constitutional monarchy since 1932, when a revolution ended absolute rule by kings, the country’s monarchs are regarded as almost divine and have been seen as a unifying presence in a country that has seen regular bouts of political instability as it rotates between elected governments and military rule.
Vajiralongkorn since taking the throne has tightened control over royal institutions and acted to increase his influence in his country’s administration. Like kings before him, he is protected by one of the world’s strictest lese majeste laws, which makes criticism of him and other top royals punishable by up to 15 years in prison and has dampened open debate about the monarchy’s role in society.
Onlookers who crowded the sidewalks Sunday along the 7-kilometer (4.3-mile) parade route were almost all wearing yellow shirts, a color closely associated with the monarchy. The 66-year-old king wore heavy, gold-embroidered vestments and a soft, wide-brimmed hat.
Some of those watching the parade clasped their hands in reverence; others took photos with their cellphones. When Vajiralongkorn passed by, there were shouts of “Long Love the King.” The 109-member marching band played tunes composed by his father, who was an enthusiastic musician.
“I love and respect the monarchy,” said Sujitra Bokularb, a 43-year-old business woman who left home 4 a.m. to reach the parade. “We have been shown the importance of this institution since we were young and how much the previous king had done for us. I think the new king will continue his legacy.”
Vajiralongkorn was shielded from some of the fading sun by an ochre umbrella. After slightly more than an hour of marching, the king reached Wat Bovoranives, the first of three temples where he was scheduled to stop and pay homage to his royal ancestors.
The march was expected to be completed in about five hours.
Earlier Sunday, the king began his second day of coronation activities by granting new titles to members of the royal family in front of an audience of dignitaries including top government officials and senior Buddhist monks.
He launched the Sunday morning event in a hall at the Grand Palace by paying respects in front of portraits of his late father and his mother, who has been hospitalized for an extended period. His 86-year-old mother, known as Queen Sirikit, was granted a new official title of Queen Mother.
Vajiralongkorn’s son, Prince Dipangkorn Rasmijoti, was one of the family members granted a fresh title for the new reign. He turned 14 on April 29 and is the heir presumptive.
While Saturday’s ceremonies were solemn and heavily tinged with age-old rites, including the prominent presence of Brahmin priests, Sunday morning’s event was slightly more relaxed, though also steeped with traditional royal and Buddhist gestures.
Live television coverage showed some glimpses of informality: Queen Suthida exchanging a brief aside with Vajiralongkorn; two of his daughters in a warm hug after the second one returned from receiving her new title.
Monday will see the king greet the public from the balcony of the Grand Palace in the late afternoon and then hold a reception for the diplomatic corps.

This is the ancient tradition since Ayutthaya period that new king and his army need to travel and present themselves in public after the coronation. In Ayutthaya period, the kings went by elephants or by boat through many towns and villages around the capital in Chaophraya valley. They stayed over nights and made camping in various places. Nowadays, the tradition changed to one day trip and making merits at the temples around the royal palace only.
Keanu Tuen Ayutthaya Ayodhya🤔🤔
Ashu Biradar Yes, Ayutthaya was named after the city of Ayodhya in Ramayana. Thais believe that their kings are avatars of god Rama or lord Vishnu.
Keanu Tuen thank you for your information😊😊

A solemn and colorful procession. Started off under the hot sun and also ended about six hours later. Even the Queen and a Princess also joined in the marching. My salute to her Royal Highness. Long live his majesty the King of Thailand!

As a German expat living for many years in Thailand it fills me with outermost pride to watch this beautiful and breathtaking ceremony especially because our Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn has a residence in my home country and his son Prince Dipangkorn Rasmijoti is studying in Germany speaking and writing fluent German. So in my heart we have after a long period without Monarchy a real King and a real Prince as well. I wish our Royal Highness a long, healthy and blessed life.
Thais got new King and new Queen as well. Congratulations.
Proud to be Malaysian. Living next to Thailand. Thailand is my new home as well.
MasyaAllah.. You can see, when comes into Kings matter, Thais really meant it. They are very serious. 👍👍👍

What an amazing year Thailand has a new King, Japan has a new Emperor. Such a rare time in a generation to see such a thing. I have a very fond heart for Thailand wonderful people wonderful culture. May he live long and bring prosperity to the nation and its people.
Johnny G Spain couple of Years ago had a new king. I bet Prince Charles is already crying “ I wanna be King too”

I like this ceremony very much, it was really great and it reminds me when I lived/stayed for about 3 years in Bangkok early 1965 up to at😚 the end of 1967.. I was still in intermediate school and I liked to read all the news about this Royal Family of the Chakri Dynasty (the late Rama IX).. For me H.M Queen Sirikit is very attractive and charming lady.. I am as old as the new king now (Rama X).. I'd like to know the names of all the royal children of King Rama X (7 children).. Who could assist or helping me, otherwise I would be appreciate so much.. I'd like to go back to Thailand some other time, I love this unique country of Wats, Lotus and Orchids, also the beauty of national lady costume (Thai Chakri, Thai Barompimarn etc) inspite of my own beloved homeland forever...❤💐🌹🇹🇭🇮🇩😄🙏
With Royal Title-1. HRH Princess Patcharakittiyapa, HRH Princess Sirivanvaree, HRH Prince Tepangorn
Without Royal Title Mr Juthawatchara, Mr Watcharawee, Mr Watchararej, and Mr Jakriwatchara ( They all were born as Mom Jao- Prince).
ps- I translated all names from Thai and I think that the correct names in English are different.
Are you around 66 yrs old now?
@@deburgh65 who is the heir to the throne? And why 4 sons doens't have tittle?
toiki i Four sons from previous marriage don't hold any title as HRH. Therefore, there are several possibilities to the current daughters and youngest son who are holding such title. However, no one is formally been announced as Crown prince or princess yet. All of them are entitled to heir the throne although the linkage is normally passed to the male heir.
toiki By Thai royal tradition, four son were born as HE prince when their father was HRH. The son or daughter of any HRH is not automatically entitled HRH as their parents except the parents are king or queen. The current daughters and son were granted these title after the coronation of their father just recently.
what a wonderful display of culture!
Quite so, a unique blend of modern style and ancient tradition, incredibly interesting and captivating.
Is it the real channel? Do you people leave stray comments too?
I didn't know there's an instrument that can mimic the sound of dial-up internet.

Congratulation Thailand! This is great pomp and show, and yet serene like the Buddha. People of India welcome the growing cultural and trade cooperation with people of Thailand through new BRIMSTEC regional group of 7 nations (leaders are gathering today in Delhi for the inaugural ceremony of India's prime minister). We have been bonded for millenniums through our great culture and divine religion.
The rank and file showed remarkable endurance throughout. Three cheers.

Congratulations Thailand. I'm a teacher in Thailand, most schools also have birthday tribute to the new king.

At this time, you can only see the royal ceremonies in Thailand. Because in Southeast Asia Which does not have a country that is governed by a centralized system such as Thailand Therefore, this is the greatest event and can be seen again when the new reign is changed and may be the only time in your life.
That's right, this is the great celebration of Thailand, which is a beautiful culture and traditional.

The horses also had to walk slow
They must to control the speed to keep Royal palanquin stable.
It is the celemony event that represent ppl to see their king. It isn't the thing the need keep in.
It like to show the power if the gard as well. They support and ready to protect their king.

It is mixed with Buddhism and Brahmanism.
it is all
Oh My Lord Great King !!!! I would not forget every moments you staied with me in Korea. Please Love Live !!!
Salute great Hindu king of Thailand (remember his another name is Rama X)!!....From India
The word Rama either at the beginning or end of anyone's name does not link this person with Hinduism. Thailand is a Buddhist nation and the Thai people including the Royal family are Buddhists. It is simple as that. And Buddhism does not recognise caste system the way your Hinduism does. A great nation following a great religion.
@@ambedkaritesofbengal790 one more link for your reference, might help you to understand the reason for using Rama!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Thailand. By the way, what do you mean by "your Hinduism"?? going forward, please do comment on subject where you have proof or knowledge to debate...it makes the debate more interesting...
Hinduism yes it's right Ramadibati is from Ram in Ramayana which is 7th avatar of Vishnu thailand adopted devaraja idea from ancient Khmer empire and Hinduism is still continuing in most Thai people faith now
The Thai Royal family are Buddhist but with touches of Hindu influence
Long live the King!
