Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej lays a kind of wood flower to be placed on the site of cremation during the Symbolic royal cremation for his late sister Princess Galyani Vadhana at the Royal Crematorium in Bangkok on November 15, 2008. Tens of thousands of Thais gathered in old Bangkok on Saturday for the cremation of Princess Galyani Vadhana, who died of cancer in January. In the central ceremony of the 6-day, $9 million funerary rites that provided a rare glimpse of the pageantry of the House of Chakri, the king lit symbolic candles in front of his sister's sandal-wood casket at an ornate Buddhist pavilion.
