Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam

THE GOVERNMENT has not yet been told to prepare for the coronation ceremony of HM King Maha Vajiralongkorn, Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said yesterday.

The formal coronation ceremony to mark the monarch’s ascension to the throne is due to be performed after he was crowned King in December 2016.

Wissanu said the palace has yet to inform the government to prepare for the royal ceremony.

The preparations from the government side will be less than that involved in the Royal Funeral of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, when the government was responsible for construction of the Royal Crematorium, Wissanu said.

The coronation ceremony will be performed mainly by Brahmans at the palace, he said.
