Thousands of yellow-shirted people braved the heat of the sun and sat on both sides of the roads, including Inner Ratchadamnoen Avenue and Middle Ratchadamnoen Avenue, in Phra Nakhon's (the former name of Bangkok) inner area to view the highly-revered procession for the monarch along the route between the Grand Palace and the royal temples. The enthralled, jubilant viewers, including many who had traveled from the provinces and waited since the wee hours of Saturday, altogether shouted Long Live the King along the way.

The royal procession arrived at Bovornnivet temple where the monarch paid homage to the relics of King Rama VI and King Rama IX, then at Rajabophit temple where he paid homage to the relics of King Rama VII, Queen Rambhai Barni, the late queen to King Rama VII, and King Rama IX and finally at Phra Chetuphon temple where he paid homage to the relics of King Rama I, the founder of Chakri Dynasty.

The procession, originally designed for kings to see the living quarters of his subjects outside of Phra Nakhon's royal abodes and temples, returned to the Grand Palace after a four-and-a-half hours journey.

On Monday, the monarch is scheduled to show up on the balcony of Sutthai Sawan Prasart Throne Hall to greet palace officials, government officials and people and receive best wishes from them.

The king is also scheduled on Monday to grant an audience with diplomats attached to Thailand at Chakri Maha Prasart Throne Hall in the Grand Palace.
