The bodies of two police officers who were killed during the mass shooting Thailand were flown to Bangkok on Monday, where royal sponsored funerals will be held to honour the men.
Their bodies will be moved in a procession through the capital city along with honour guards and will end at a Buddhist temple.
Both men were killed inside the mall where the gunman was hiding for more than 10 hours.
The gunman, a soldier angry about a land dispute, went on a 16-hour shooting rampage in northeastern Thailand, killing at least 29 people and wounding dozens more.
Police and military personnel hunted the gunman overnight in a shopping mall where he had holed up and shot him dead Sunday morning.
It was Thailand's biggest mass shooting carried out by a single gunman.
