Royal Audience Held at Amphorn Sathan Residential Hall

According to a report by Thai Post on August 12, 2026, His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn and Her Majesty Queen Suthida presided over a royal audience at the Amphorn Sathan Residential Hall within the Dusit Palace. During the event, the monarchs received Somdet Phra Mahawachirathibodi (Pee Suchato), who serves as the President of the Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University Council.

The primary purpose of the audience was for the presentation of the Thai-language Tripitaka, specifically the Mahachula Tripitaka edition, to the King and Queen. This edition is a significant scholarly work produced by the university, which is a prominent Buddhist institution in Thailand.

For residents and travelers, this event highlights the ongoing cultural and religious significance of the monarchy’s relationship with Thailand’s Buddhist academic institutions. Such ceremonies are central to the traditional protocols of the Thai royal court. While the event was reported as a formal presentation, further details regarding the specific discussions held during the private audience or any subsequent royal initiatives related to the university’s academic projects remain unconfirmed. Observers of Thai culture may note this as a continuation of the royal tradition of supporting religious education and the preservation of Buddhist scriptures.
