hua hin prepares for
coronation day audience
hua hin, THAILAND
For anyone who has been wondering what all the roadworks, flags, lights
and other decorations are all about around Hua Hin, this coming Monday,
5th May is your answer, as this is Coronation Day in Thailand, and His
Majesty the King is holding a special audience at Rajapracha Samakhom
Pavilion inside Klai Kangwon Palace.
The audience will start from 10am to the royal family and civil servants,
and thousands of Thais are expected to line the streets near the palace.
Twelve large LED screens will be installed on Phetkasem Road so wellwishers can watch the audience, while the event will be broadcast live on
national television.
His Majesty the King’s motorcade will leave Piemsuk Palace for the pavilion
inside the palace via Phetkasem Road to give all Thais a chance to greet
His Majesty, following the same route that was used for the audience on His
Majesty the King’s birthday on December 5 last year, said Prachuap Khiri
Khan governor Veera Sriwattanatrakul. Mr Veera also urged no political
activities on May 5 and no sales of fireworks in the area where the activity
will be held.
Coronation Day marks the day in 1950 when His Majesty the King was
officially crowned, although His Majesty’s reign actually began on 9th June
1946, making him the world’s longest-serving current head of state and
the longest-reigning monarch in Thai history, having served for nearly 68
years.
AWOL would like to join with our readers and the Thai nation in celebrating
this occasion, and to send our best wishes to His Majesty .
long live the king
