Dear Community,
This weekend will be an extremely important and historical weekend for Thailand. The Royal Coronation of His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun. The Coronation will be held from Saturday May 4th to Monday, May 6th, 2019.
Below you will find some links that will help you gain information regarding the historical background, the royal traditions, and additional cultural aspects. The links also include the schedules and the locations of the ceremonies. It is expected that close to 200,000 people will come to Bangkok to witness and to celebrate this special occasion. During this period, the Thai people will wear their yellow shirts bearing the royal coronation emblem. They would love to see expats wearing the yellow shirts with the royal coronation emblem as well.
