Bangkok Waterways on Chao Phraya River Overview |
|
Bangkok, Thailand's vibrant capital is one of the world's most exotic and colorful cities - a unique blend of the traditional and ultra-modern. A cruise by motor boat along the Chao Phraya River and canals on the West side of Bangkok. Life along the river and canals is very interesting especially in the Orchid area.
The trip also stops at the Temple of Dawn 'Wat Arun' which is one of the city?s landmarks and we also visit the Royal Barge museum. The morning excursion also stops at the Temple of Dawn 'Wat Arun' and visits the Royal Barge museum.
Located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, Wat Arun is among the most famous of the more than 400 Buddhist temples and monasteries in the city. The most attractive structure in this temple is the 260 feet high pagoda or Phra Prang which is completely covered with pieces of multi-colored glass and Chinese porcelain. If time permits, from the upper levels, one has a panoramic view of the surrounding city.
The Royal Barge Museum, where nine of the most important barges are housed in this national museum, including Suphannahongsa and Narai Song Suban Rama IX. The tradition of royal barges dates back to Ayutthaya times, when they were used to transport the Kings in various ceremonies and processions. These barges were rebuilt by the early Chakri kings in Bangkok to the original specifications. Most were badly damaged during World War II. However, the present King not only had them all restored to their former glory, but revived the ancient tradition of a water-borne Royal Kathin Procession to present robes to monks at the end of the Buddhist Rains Retreat.
