Buddha’s relic China loaned to Thailand gets warm welcome

Quick Summary:

BANGKOK — More than 2,000 people took part on Wednesday in a procession to escort a relic of the Buddha lent by China to a shrine in the Thai capital Bangkok to honor the birthday of King Maha Vajiralongkorn and to celebrate half a century of diplomatic relations between Thailand and China.

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and members of her Cabinet received the relic amid the sounds of chanting monks.

The tooth was put in an ornate, golden container and placed on a flower-bedecked float as it was paraded through one of the oldest neighborhoods of the city.
