On October 27, local time, King Rama X of Thailand, Maha Vajiralongkorn, appeared on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok on the magnificent "Golden Swan".

The King of Thailand, wearing a white military uniform covered with medals, seemed to be in a good mood, and his Queen Suthida was sitting next to her with a smile, holding a fan for her husband to cool down. Of course, she can Play a certain decorative role.

According to reports, the royal barge celebration that day was held to celebrate the 72nd birthday of Rama X. Although his actual date of birth is in June, because it is his sixth birthday (which Thais say is an important and auspicious milestone), the celebrations continue almost throughout the year.

When the dragon boat carrying the King and Queen of Thailand was sailing in the river, thousands of people knelt and sat on the river bank, not only to catch a glimpse of the royal family, but also to pay respect to them. As we all know, most Thais have unparalleled respect for the King of Thailand.

The long boat inlaid with gold foil that the Thai king rode on has a bit of a dragon boat feel, but it is said that the decorations on the bow are not dragons, but garuda, naga and other gods in Buddhist and Indian mythology.

On the dragon boat of the Thai King and Queen, people also found a more familiar face. According to Andrew Marshall, a British journalist who specializes in studying the Thai royal family, the female official with the red feather on the hat was exactly what was rumored. The new concubine of the King of Thailand, Aura Nong.

The 32-year-old Euler knelt down and sat in front of the King and Queen of Thailand. Although she was kneeling down, judging from her height, she obviously had more status than the male attendant next to her.

The matter about Oula Nong being adopted as a concubine by the King of Thailand was also revealed by British journalist Marshall. He also elaborated on the "evidence" he collected in more detail, including that Oula Nong had received an exclusive royal symbol. In addition, the King of Thailand also sponsored the alma mater of Ora Nong in the name of his new concubine.

Of course, these things have not been "officially announced" by the Thai royal family, and Oralong is not at all like the noble concubine Sineenat she once served, who had a public canonization ceremony.

However, considering that the Thai royal family even keeps the physical condition of the eldest princess Pracharajitiyapa secret, so it is quite in line with their usual style that they do not announce it publicly.

The day’s fleet, made up of 52 ornately decorated vessels and paddled by more than 2,000 oarsmen clad in scarlet and gold, made its way through the heart of the Thai capital to Wat Arun, the city’s ancient temple. ) participate in Buddhist ceremonies.

It is reported that the history of Thai royal barge travel can be traced back hundreds of years, but it is rarely held and only held on the most important occasions - the most recent one was in 2019, when Maha Vajiralongkorn was officially crowned King of Thailand. king.

During the 70-year reign of his father, Rama IX Bhumibol, only 16 royal barges were held.

The scale of the event that day was grand. Even Prince Ti Banggong, who had been in Germany for a long time, came back specially. This was his first appearance in a long time.

Sitting with his half-sister, 37-year-old Srivannawari, Tibang Gong looks a bit burly, but his eyes have not changed much from many years ago.

It is reported that although the King of Thailand still has not appointed a crown prince in his seventies, this position should be one of help, and it is almost no longer controversial.
