HM King Tours City in Royal Procession (Photos)

BANGKOK — Thousands greeted King Vajiralongkorn as he rode a royal palanquin in a procession around Bangkok’s historic neighborhood Sunday evening.

His Majesty the King traveled in an elaborate procession escorted by soldiers in colorful ceremonial outfits. People shouted “long live the King” when the procession passed by.

The ritual is part of the three-day coronation ceremony which will wrap up tomorrow.
