Thai king to pay respect to Buddha image



BANGKOK: Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn will pay his respects to the Emerald Buddha, one of Thai Buddhism’s most sacred relics on Friday, media reports said.

He will also conduct the final rituals before his three days of coronation events, and light an auspicious candle.

The coronation, which is taking place from Saturday to Monday, will be the first Thailand has seen in 69 years.

The 66 years old King Maha Vajiralongkorn, also known by the title of King Rama X, became a constitutional monarch after the death of his father in October 2016. (Agencies)
