Chariots unveiled for late Thai King's cremation procession Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-o-cha has unveiled the royal chariots, which will be used for the cremation ceremony for the late Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The main chariot, built more than 200 years ago, will transport the late king's body to the crematorium. Bhumibol's cremation will take place on October 26, 2017 just over a year after his death, in a spectacular funeral to be marked by an elaborate palace ceremony and Buddhist ritual. IMAGES
