The highlighted event will be held on December 5, when holy water will be brought from the Emerald Buddha Temple at 9.30am to be presented to His Majesty the King, who will grant a public audience at a new throne to be built at Sanam Luang.

The public are now invited to sign well-wishing messages for His Majesty on the website of the Provincial Administration Department: www.dopa.go.th/bless_king.
