The Royal Barge Chanting Ceremony, Bangkok, Thailand


When the Grand Royal Barge Procession departs Wasukri Pier, it will embark on a symbolic journey that glorifies His Majesty the King, exhibits the picturesque royal barges unseen anywhere in this world and celebrates the past and present glory of Thailand as a land of rich culture and tradition. 


The royal barges' journey along the Chao Phya River will end at Rama I Bridge, where the statue of King Rama I is situated. As King Yodfa or Rama I is the great-great-great grandfather of His Majesty, the Royal Barge Procession will complete a full cycle by honouring the founder of Bangkok. King Yodfa established Bangkok in 1782.
