A commission formed to plan the activities at Government House on Wednesday was presided over by Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, according to government official Chai Wacharonke.
The visit of panels to oversee various facets of the historic event was the meeting’s icing on the cake. The meeting covered a wide range of topics.
Six panels, according to Mr. Chai, would be in charge of organizing theological and state rituals, projects and activities, public relations, visitors and public safety, creating archives and memorial books, budgeting, and creating a distinctive 6th period emblem.
The House, Senate, and Supreme Court leader serve as council experts, with the primary minister serving as chairman and his representatives as assistant chairs.
Ministers, experts, and deputy prime officials are chosen to lead the panel.
Deputy Prime Minister Somsak Thepsutin will be in charge of the state rites section as well as the projects and activities section.
The transportation and public health section will be led by Deputy Prime Minister Pol Gen Phatcharavat Wongsuwan, and the public relations board by PM’s Office Minister Puangpet Chunlaiad.
Sermsak Pongpanit, the minister of society, will be in charge of the archives and memorial books board, PM’s Office investigator general Rungrattana Bunlong will lead the budget committee, and a professional assigned to the PM s office will oversee the emblem panel.
Dedication of water to be offered to the King, blessing of holy water for connected religious ceremonies, and global alms-giving ceremonies will all be part of the celebrations.
State representatives may even take an oath to uphold morality and represent the nation at an event.
The Thailand Cultural Centre will host rites for five different sects, Mr. Chai continued.
To honor the royal kathin ( robe-giving ) rite to mark the end of Buddhist Lent the following year, a royal barge procession will also be held on the Chao Phraya River. The King’s day will also be commemorated by a large monk priesthood and the creation of unique commemorative coins.
