The Royal Slippers or “Chalong Phrabat Choeng Ngon”

King Rama I ordered the making of a pair of gold slippers as a part of the Royal

Regalia, following an ancient Indian belief. They were made of colorful enameled gold and

inlaid with diamonds. In the Royal Coronation Ceremony, they are offered by the Chief
Brahmin who puts them directly onto the feet of the King.
