(Bangkok Post file photo)Two provincial governors accused of mishandling funeral flower-laying ceremonies for the late King have been transferred to inactive posts at the Prime Minister's Office, according to Interior Minister Anupong Paojinda. The changes were ordered in the wake of complaints over their handling of sandalwood flower (dok mai chan) rites on Oct 26, when the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej was cremated. The deputy governors of the respective provinces will now serve as acting governors, Gen Anupong added.
