Coronation of Thai king follows Brahmin and Buddhist rites and has so for centuries. Thai capital Ayutthaya is named after Ayodhya, the sacred city of Sri Ram in India. Rama was also regarded as a Pratyeka Buddha and honored by Buddhists as well as Hindus. Lord Buddha took birth in a branchy of the Ikshvaku dynasty of Sri Ram.
