Pondering whether her job is the right fit and whether her romantic relationship...
BANGKOK - Pondering whether her job is the right fit and whether her romantic relationship is meant to be, Jarunun Sangjun, 27, does what any typical Thai would do: seek out a fortune-teller for advice.
“The stars are saying this year you’ll change jobs, start a new relationship,” says the fortune-teller known as Ajarn Jamras, who said he has been practicing for 30 years. The main coronation events from May 4 to 6 will be the first the country has seen since Vajiralongkorn’s father, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, was crowned on May 5, 1950. He had reigned for seven decades before he passed away in October 2016.
On Tuesday, royal astrologers at Bangkok’s Temple of the Emerald Buddha will inscribe the king’s new titles and the horoscope for his reign on a golden plate. Court astrologers traditionally make predictions about the future at every important transition in the nation’s history. Thais have been urged to wear yellow from May to July, or from the king’s coronation to his birthday. Yellow carries a significance in Thailand as it is the color of Monday, the day the king and his father were born on, and also the color of the Sun, which represents the monarch in the cosmos.
