His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn sat atop the Royal Palanquin on Sunday afternoon for an elaborate post-coronation procession, observing a tradition dating back several centuries. King Maha Vajiralongkorn’s Royal Land Procession began at 5pm on Sunday at the Grand Palace with Brahmin priests blowing conch shells to signal the moment. Her Majesty Queen Suthida and Her Royal Highness Princess Bajra Kitiyabha walked alongside, to the left and right of the palanquin, respectively. They shouted, “Long live the King” as the procession passed by. Members of the Royal Family – including HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn and Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana – stood and bowed in respect to the King as his procession passed their roadside pavilion.
