Multiple reliable sources confirm that Chulalongkorn underwent a second coronation on 16 November 1873, at age 20, which marked his assumption of full royal authority after a regency. The claim is consistent with the historical record.
King Chulalongkorn of Siam, who ascended the throne in 1868 at age 15, held a second coronation on 16 November 1873, shortly after turning 20. This ceremony signified the end of the regency of Somdet Chaophraya Sri Suriwongse and the king's assumption of full ruling powers. The event took place in Bangkok, Siam, and is recorded in historical accounts of his reign.
