This is an amazing development. The reason given by W issanu Krea-ngam is — as usual — clearly dishonest. Most likely explanation is that the king has had another meltdown and is not happy about the state of the preparations.
HM King’s Royal Barge Procession Postponed
Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Kreangam that the ritual, which would be presided over by His Majesty the King and the Royal Family, is now set to take place on Dec. 12 instead of Oct. 24 as initially scheduled. Wissanu cited strong tides in the river as a reason for the postponement.
“The royal procession will still go ahead, and it’d still be a grand, beautiful event,” Wissanu told reporters. “But we have to consider the appropriate conditions of currents and weather.”
The announcement came just a week before the event was due to take place. The navy was also conducting a full-scale rehearsal of the procession on Chao Phraya River earlier today.
The procession, which will feature up to 52 elaborately crafted river barges and 2,200 seamen, is part of year-long celebrations of King Vajiralongkorn’s coronation.
Other related royal events are His Majesty the King’s visit to Chinatown on Dec. 6, and His Majesty’s inauguration of a winter-themed fair at Royal Plaza on Dec. 8, Wissanu said.
