Nine religious dignities, including Most Venerable Thich Tinh Lien, head of the An Nam Tong (Annamkiya) Buddhist sect and abbots of Vietnamese Buddhist pagodas in Thailand have received a royal decree from Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua.

Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn on May 20 issued a royal decree on the dissolution of the country's parliament, paving the way for a general election to be held in May. The decree took effect on the same day.

A research team of Ha Tinh Museum has discovered a royal decree dating to 1784.

New Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn has reappointed Prem Tinsulanonda as the Privy Council chairman on December 2, according to the Royal Thai Government Gazette.
