The Royal Barge Procession is one of Thailand's cultural heritages, dating back to the Sukhothai period and carried on through the Ayutthaya, Thonburi, and Rattanakosin periods to the present.
The ceremonial procession of royal barges was originally organised for the monarch's private journeys, to welcome foreign diplomats, or to accompany significant royal ceremonies, such as the Coronation Ceremony and Kathin robe offering ceremony. This tradition began in the Sukhothai period and has continued to the present day.
