Oarsmen row the Subhannahong royal barge from the Royal Navy’s dockyard on the Thon Buri side of the Chao Phraya River to Ratcha Woradit pier, next to the Grand Palace, on May 4 in honour of HM King Maha Vajiralongkorn’s coronation.

 

The magnificent Royal Barges will once again proceed down the Chao Phraya river in the final ceremony marking his Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn’s coronation

 

THOUGH THE GRANDEUR of the three-day Royal Coronation ceremony was replaced by normal humdrum life in Bangkok come Tuesday morning, people won’t have to wait too long for another grand event – the royal barge procession. Also part of His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn’s coronation ceremonies, the magnificent procession will be held in late October.

Thailand is experiencing a boom in applications from entrepreneurs seeking to take advantage of the investor-friendly Thailand Elite Residence Program.  With the latest sales figures indicating a nearly 60% growth in the fiscal first quarter and a profit of more than THB 280 million (approximately USD 8.75 million), overall demand for the program is at an all-time high. Most noticeable, however, is the sharp uptick from entrepreneur applicants: the number of these applications increased by more than 60% year-on-year between 2016 and 2018.
