Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn is transported atop a golden palanquin during his coronation procession in Bangkok on May 5. The $31 million, three-day celebration came nearly three years after Vajiralongkorn ascended to the throne, following the death of his father, and at a time of political instability in country, which is still deliberating the results of March’s national election.
