Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn has married his long-term consort and given her the title Queen Suthida just days before his coronation.

Suthida Vajiralongkorn na Ayudhya, a former Thai Airways flight attendant, 'legally married' the king in accordance with royal traditions, an announcement in the Royal Gazette said.

Long seen trailing the king in public events as part of his personal security retinue, Suthida was given the rank of 'general' in 2017.

The unpredictable monarch is due to be crowned the 10th monarch of the Chakri dynasty in an elaborate three-day ceremony starting Saturday.

Vajiralongkorn, who has been married three times, has spent much of his time in Germany.

Harsh lese-majeste laws have shielded public scrutiny of his colourful private life, and all media in Thailand must self-censor.

This weekend's coronation will be the first since Vajiralongkorn's late father's nearly 70 years ago.

It was not immediately clear what role Queen Suthida will play in the ceremony.
