FAD director general Kriangkrai Sampatchalit said he had also requested the RTN to provide a large rope that would be used to pull the Phra Maha Phichai Ratcharote Chariot, which will carry the body of the princess from the Grand Palace to the royal crematorium now being constructed on Sanam Luang, by 206 men.

The rope will also be used with another chariot  Phra Wetcha Yanta Ratcharote  which will be involved in a royal process to move the body during the funeral service.

"We have asked the Royal Thai Navy, as the expert where roping and knotting is needed with large and heavy objects, for help," he said.

Fifteen craftsmen the from Bundit Phatthana Silp Institute, have been selected to do artwork on four screens that will be used during the funeral procession. Each of the fourfolding screens will contain images of guardian angles and a type of tree leaf that will be also imprinted on the royal urn containing her body.

FAD deputy directorgeneral Somlak Jaroenpoj said the details regarding the funeral were being documented to be officially recorded in the Siam Almanac. The number of Almanac copies to be printed will be determined at a later date.
