Sixty-four-year-old Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn has became the king of Thailand, 50 days after the death of his father, King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

He had accepted an invitation from the Thai parliament to succeed him, and was crowned at
Bangkok's Dusit Palace in an event broadcast on all Thai television channels.
