Thai king to replace father on new banknotes

BANGKOK Thailand's central bank displayed new banknotes on Thursday on which a picture of King Maha Vajiralongkorn will replace one of his late father, King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The banknotes mark another step in the transition of King Maha Vajiralongkorn who took the throne in December 2016 and has increasingly asserted his power. (Reuters)
