Preparations for public participation in the coronation ceremonies of Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn – Rama X, slated for May 4th-6th, have been completed.
According
to Bangkok Post, the City Hall is bracing for an influx of more than 150,000
people, expected to flock to Sanam Luang for the King's coronation ceremonies
this weekend.
Visitors
are expected to pack the grounds and surrounding roads near the Grand Palace to
pay their respects to the King, who will perform the liap phranakhon ritual on
May 5th, during which he will make a short trip to several parts of the
capital, City Hall officials said.
About 200 medical teams will
be on standby to take care of attendees every 100 metres along the route.
Security will be beefed up
and first aid services, drinking water, food as well as portable toilets will
be provided.
Teachers and students of
Kasem Bundit and Bangkokthorburi universities have also been mobilsed as
interpreters of English and Chinese for foreigners at the ceremonies.
The procession route for the
King’s coronation ceremonies covers a distance of 7.2 kilometres in Bangkok Old
City.
Crown Prince Maha
Vajiralongkorn became King Rama X in December 2016, after his farther King
Bhumibol Adulyadej – Rama IX – passed away in October the same year, at 88./.
