Their Majesties the King and Queen have graciously met with citizens gathered in front of Kwaeng Phra Nakhon Sri Ayuthaya Court, following their laying of a foundation stone and officially opening the facility.
On November 21, 2020 at 7:18PM, following their laying of a foundation stone for Kwaeng Phra Nakhon Sri Ayuthaya Court in Ban Pom sub-district of Phra Nakhon Sri Ayuthaya district in Ayuthaya province, Their Majesties the King and Queen proceeded to the gateway of the court to receive donations of funds and goods from loyal subjects who had assembled there, meeting graciously with the large crowd. Ayuthaya Elephant Palace brought 10 elephants to the occasion, all raising their trunks and calling out in a show of respect to Their Majesties.
Those assembled for the occasion came from all districts of Ayuthaya as well as nearby provinces including Bangkok, Ang Thong and Samut Sakon. All wore yellow and waved royal and national flags with many also holding up images of Their Majesties the King and Queen and other signs expressing their admiration. Along the over 800 meter route Their Majesties traveled, gathered masses chanted “Long Live the King” as Their Majesties waved and smiled, showcasing exuberance and benevolence in spite of the heat.
Their Majesties met with some subjects holding photographs and graciously signed them so that they may bless their homes and families; they also received donations of funds, flowers and goods, promising to use the funds to aid disaster victims across the nation.

Their Majesties also ordered a royal cafeteria be setup to provide food and drink to crowds at four locations, at the Koh Kerd SACICT Center, Wat Worachet, Wat Ta Ka Rong and in front of the court. Those who received the food expressed their deep gratitude.
Ayuthaya is also often referred to as the “Old Capital” due to its long rich history and time as the Kingdom’s capital city. At an appropriate time, Their Majesties departed the province to return to Dusit Palace.
