Royal Barge National Museum พิพิธภัณฑ์สถานแห่งชาตเรือพระราชพิธี This shed, where several royal barges are displayed, is located near Phra Pin Klao Bridge. The barges were used on royal occasions and formerly served as war vessels. The most beautiful barge is Suphannahong used by the king only when he made his royal river procession for the Kathin ceremony, a Buddhist tradition of offering robes to monks, usually during October to November. The unique design and decorative details of each barge should be of great interest to all visitors. The shed is open everyday from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. Admission fee is 30 baht. |
