Royal Barge Procession
On November 9, 2013, the locals will assemble along the Chao Praya River to celebrate the Royal Barge Procession. This is an old-fashioned tradition, which was revived by the present King Bhumibol Adulyadej. This year the crowds will assembler by the riverside to celebrate their dear King’s 85th birthday. 52 boats are set to participating in this palpating event. The city will come alive to the celebrations, dancing, singing, cheering, and will offer a soulful insight into the other side of the busy Bangkok.
This is an annual affair celebrated on the full-moon night of the twelfth lunar month, which usually falls in November. The locals convene to the riverside that are filled to the top under the shining glory of the moon. They gather along with their lit krathongs, which are containers made of banana trunks or polystyrene. These krathongs are then discharged into the waters. The rivers around this time offer an enchanting sight of thousands of flowing candles flickering under the moonlight.
You can fly to Thailand in November to catch the glimpse of this beautiful city wrapped in customary style.
