After almost nine months of preservation work undertaken by the Culture Ministry, the grand royal chariots, palanquins and other accessories are ready for use in the procession for the Royal Cremation Ceremony of His Majesty the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej in late October.

Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha will preside at a ritual at the National Museum on September 21 to bless the chariots to be used during the funeral of His Majesty the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej next month.
