Royal crematorium of the late Princess Galyani Vadhana

Posted by noel on Nov 12, '08 5:46 AM for everyone

Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana was King Bhumibol's elder sister. She passed away at the beginning of this year. The royal cremation will be held at Sanam Luang this weekend.

I can take photos from the distance only because the public is not allowed to view the royal crematorium closely before the ceremony.

FYI : Sanam Luang is the traditional royal ground where important state ceremonies have been held since the founding of Bangkok. These buildings will be removed to keep in the other place after the ceremony to reuse next time.

"These buildings will be removed to keep in the other place after the ceremony to reuse next time." You mean relocation of these beautiful buildings after the cremation ceremony ? But these are big structural buildings ?

Oh, what she meant was the buildings will be dismantled into separate pieces (they're made of wood, you see, and are fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle) and then kept in a warehouse... until another event which needs them again.
So not only are they beautiful, they're very convenient, too : D
