Description: |
|
The Royal Barge Procession in Bangkok, conducted on very rare
occasions, is a spectacular royal armada on the Chao Phraya
River.
This procession is normally conducted on the
following occasions:
• When the King ascends the throne.
•
When the King goes down the Chao Phraya to present robes to the
monks during the Royal Krathin Ceremony after the Buddhist Lent
in October.
• When the King goes to Saraburi to pay homage to
the Buddha's footprint.
• When Bangkok receives important
Buddha images from other cities.
• When receiving foreign
diplomatic dignitaries to Bangkok.
Some of the memorable
processions during the reign of King Rama IX, the present King,
were:
• On 14 May 1957 to commemorate the 25th century of the
Buddhist era.
• On 06 Apr 1982 to commemorate 200 years of
the Bangkok era on the Bangkok Bicentennial.
• In 1996 to
celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the reign of His Majesty the
King.
• On 05 Dec 1999 to celebrate the 72nd birthday of King
Rama IX.
• The Royal Barge Procession on 20 Oct 2003 at the
closing ceremony of the APEC Conference in Bangkok, in honor of
the visiting heads of state.
• On 12 June 2006 an even
grander procession took place to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee
of the reign of His Majesty King. Twenty-five monarchs from
around the world attended this auspicious occasion.
