King’s post-coronation procession continues into the night

His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn’s royal procession resumed at around 7pm on Sunday after its first stop at Wat Bovoranives.

The procession went along Phra Sumen Road and returned to Rajdamnoen Road past the Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall and the Democracy Monument, which glittered in gold reflecting the footlights.

After dark, the procession went past buildings and trees decorated with yellow lights and thousands of flag-waving people clad in yellow.
Buildings along the route glowed in the dark with thousands of lights. Most parts of Rajdamnoen and other thoroughfares were brightly illuminated.
The procession continued along Atsadang Road and Bamrung Mueang Road before arriving at Wat Rajabopidh near the Giant Swing, where His Majesty again paid homage.
