By Search EzineArticles.com
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 Royal Barge 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 05 Dec 1999, to celebrate the 72nd birthday of King Rama IX.
