Royal barouche – Vimanmek Palace, Bangkok

A large black carriage with folding leather hoods, a raised driver's box and iron-bound wheels stands in the hall; a nearby sign describes a barouche for four horses, built by Simpson and Co. in Madras and used by Rama VII in 1926 for the Swing Ceremony. The carriage museum of Dusit Palace keeps the horse carriages, palanquins and ceremonial vehicles of the Thai court from the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) onwards.
