Thailand's New King Ascends Throne

Pictured Paying respect to his late father, Thailand's new king is seen above kneeling in front a picture, as servants lie on the floor behind him in a deferential manner.

He had accepted an invitation from the Thai parliament to succeed him, and was crowned at Bangkok's Dusit Palace in an event broadcast on all Thai television channels.
