King Thibaw mausoleum planned in Mandalay
A mausoleum for Myanmar’s last monarch of the Konbaung dynasty King Thibaw is being planned at the Mandalay Palace, a descendant of the late king said. U Soe Win – King Thibaw’s great-grandson – said permission was being sought to build the mausoleum near the tomb of King Mindon, Thibaw’s father, inside the palace. “King Thibaw’s remains are in Yadana Giri (Ratnagiri) in India. We are trying to bring his remains home. “Arrangements are being made at state-level,” he said on Thursday.
