Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn launches the second day of coronation activities with a ceremony to grant new titles to members of the royal family.
People display portraits of King Maha Vajiralongkorn during his coronation ceremonies, Sunday, May 5, 2019, in Bangkok, Thailand. Vajiralongkorn was officially crowned amid the splendor of the country's Grand Palace, taking the central role in an elaborate centuries-old royal ceremony that was last held almost seven decades ago.
Vajiralongkorn — also known as King Rama X, the 10th king of the Chakri dynasty — 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. While Saturday’s ceremonies were solemn and heavily tinged with age-old rites, including the prominent presence of Brahmin priests, Sunday’s event was slightly more relaxed, though also steeped with traditional royal and Buddhist gestures.
Duangkamol Siriwiwattanakul said she traveled from the northeastern province of Sakon Nakhon, 542 kilometer northeast of Bangkok, to watch the royal events on a video screen set up outside the palace.
