May 4 this year marks the fifth anniversary of the coronation of King Rama X Maha Vajiralongkorn of Thailand. In order to celebrate the arrival of the "Coronation Day", Thailand will have a holiday to celebrate, and it coincides with the 4th, which was originally a rest day, so the 6th will be set as a "compensatory holiday", that is, the Thai people ushered in a 3-day holiday.
Perhaps to give officials a better rest, the "Coronation Day" celebration was held earlier in the Grand Palace on the 3rd, and the 71-year-old Rama X took his queen Suthida to sit on the "golden chair" to receive congratulations from the courtiers.
In other parts of Thailand, similar events were held on the day, but the king could not arrive at the scene one by one, so those who did not have the opportunity to enter the palace had to show their loyalty to the coronation of King Rama X, and at the same time thank the king for the favor he bestowed on them.
Compared with the usual activities, the ceremony to celebrate the "Coronation Day" is still quite lively, at least many of the king's family members appeared, not as usual, only Suthida was by his side.
Princess Sirindhorn, one of the younger sisters of the King of Thailand, can be seen appearing. The 69-year-old princess seems to be focusing on things of interest, and does not particularly care about her personal image, although she is wearing gorgeous clothes, she still looks very down-to-earth.
Princess Sirivannavarre, who often travels in foreign countries, also appeared, and compared to other members of the royal family, the 36-year-old princess, known as the "Protector of the Divine Beast", is obviously happier and can do whatever she wants.
It's just that although Princess Sirivannavarre has long been accustomed to life in Europe and the United States, she still shows her most traditional side in front of her father and aunt, and she needs to kneel quietly when the elders stand and salute each other.
On the one hand, almost all of them have the experience of living overseas for a long time and can be quite free (recall the picture of the King of Thailand wearing a small vest and holding a dog many years ago), but on the other hand, they have to abide by the strict etiquette of the Thai royal family, and kneeling is a common thing.
On the same day, Princess Chulabhorn, another sister of the King of Thailand, also appeared, although she needed medical staff to follow her at all times, she did not want to miss the big day of the royal brother, perhaps to show the deep love between brother and sister.
The 45-year-old Suthida is very friendly and respectful to her sister-in-law, who is 21 years older than herself, and is even willing to use her arm as a handrail for the other party. In terms of dealing with people, Suthida behaved perfectly, dignified and knowledgeable, quite a bit of a "mother in the world" style, at least on the surface.
As for the so-called palace fights, they are all speculated by the outside world, after all, the Thai royal family has maintained a sense of mystery all year round, and even whether Princess Pacharaj Diyapa is dead or alive after being in a coma is not revealed.
The 66-year-old Princess Chulabhorn, although she was born into a royal family, is also a poor person. There is information that she was born unsound, suffering from congenital facial paralysis and expression disorders.
However, this did not prevent her from fulfilling her royal duties until 10 years ago, when she was declared to have been "sick due to a disorder of her immune system" and had to suspend work, but there were also rumors that she suffered a back injury caused by a fall from a height, and she was unable to walk freely after that.
It's good now, at least I can do without a wheelchair, but it's also extra strenuous to stand alone.
