One of the most beautiful ceremony you will ever see floating in
the river is The Royal Barge Procession which amazing royal
barges glide along Chao Phraya river. Each barge is taken care
of very carefully by the Fine Arts Department under supervision
of the Bureau of the Royal Household and royal navy. In normal
days, the royal barges are kept in National Museum of Royal
Barges. The

cradle for royal barges. The Fine Arts department registered
every barge as national heritage and appointed the cradle to
