The “Yellow Star” trees, which can be seen blossoming with aromatic, yellow flowers from July to October, have been chosen to symbolise the reign of King Maha Vajiralongkorn, not only because yellow represents the Chakri Dynasty, but also because it is the colour of Monday – the day the King was born.

The grand Coronation of HM King Maha Vajiralongkorn (King Rama X), which ran for three days until yesterday, was a historic occasion that brought forth a variety of collectible memorabilia.
