ROYAL BARGE MUSEUM
This collection of royal barges, some of which are up 50 meters long, is housed on the Thonburi side of the river in a series of elaborate sheds near the Pinklao Bridge. The barges are best seen in action during rare ceremonial processions on the Chao Phraya where the colourful crews can number up to 64, including rowers, umbrella holders, navigators and various musicians. Beautifully and ornately decorated, these magnificent long craft were completely renovated and restored to their former glory by the present King, who also commissioned the newest boat for his golden jubilee in 1996.
80/1 Rim Khlong Bangkok Noi, Arun Amarin Rd., Thonburi / daily 9a-5pm.
