Thibaw and his wife Queen Supayalat were allowed a luxury residence in exile with staff and a car, although they could not venture far beyond the house.
The “Thibaw Palace” is located in Ratnagiri town.
The former monarch died at the age of 57 in 1916, shortly after he suffered a heart attack when one of his daughters eloped with a man whom he considered unsuitable.
After the king's death, some of the family members eventually returned to Myanmar while others remained in India.
