Thai monarch takes grandiose procession in Bangkok's olden quarters

The royal procession arrived at Bovornnivet temple where the monarch paid homage to the relics of King Rama VI and King Rama IX, then at Rajabophit temple where he paid homage to the relics of King Rama VII, Queen Rambhai Barni, the late queen to King Rama VII, and King Rama IX and finally at Phra Chetuphon temple where he paid homage to the relics of King Rama I, the founder of Chakri Dynasty.

The procession, originally designed for kings to see the living quarters of his subjects outside of Phra Nakhon's royal abodes and temples, returned to the Grand Palace after a four-and-a-half hours journey.
