The last rituals to complete the official enthronement of Thailand’s king took place Thursday in the river that runs through the country’s capital, in a procession that attracted scores of followers to its banks.The Royal Barge ceremony – which had been delayed since October – took place in Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River to officially conclude the coronation of King Vajiralongkorn as Rama X, a process that began in May.The procession, a tradition extending 700 years and presided by Queen Suthida and royal family members, traveled 3.4 kilometers down the river and comprised 52 barges – of which four are considered the most important – operated by 2,399 oarsmen.The ceremony was attended by Prime Minister and former coup-maker Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha, who saluted Rama X as the monarch walked to the 108-year-old Suphannahong, or Golden Swan, barge accompanied by the queen and Prince Dipangkorn after exiting his vehicle.
