As the final wisp of smoke from King Bhumibol Adulyadej's funeral pyre curled into the night sky late Thursday, thousands of black-clad Thais said their last goodbye to a much beloved monarch.

Local news reported that about 157,000 people attended the elaborate ceremony around Bangkok's Grand Palace, while 20 million people nationwide paid their respects at different official memorial sites.

The $30 million funeral was marked by pomp and pageantry, but the night ended on a quieter note. Although the whole day's ceremony was televised on Thai TV and broadcast across the city on giant screens, the actual cremation, scheduled at 10 p.m. local time, was a private affair for the Royal Family and special guests.

The cremation marked the end of a year of mourning, since King Bhumibol passed last October aged 88, and ushered in a new era for Thailand overseendivisive figuresimply sharing a Facebook

Once you can fake it , you've got it made .
