Thailand's economy is set to prosper over the next year, and who can argue when the forecasters are two heavy-handed white bulls with horns? The forecast was announced during the annual royal snow removal ceremony held in a field outside the Grand Palace in Bangkok on Friday. This pageant-like spectacle, presided over by King Maha Vajiralongkorn and Queen Suthida, marks the beginning of the rice planting season. A pair of sacred cows plowed the ground repeatedly, and a Brahmin priest sowed rice on the ridged soil.
