The Royal Thai Navy conducted the first full-dress rehearsal of the Royal Barge Procession, drawing large crowds to the Chao Phraya River.
This elaborate rehearsal prepares for the 2026 Royal Kathin Ceremony, where His Majesty the King will present robes, coinciding with Her Majesty Queen Suthida's 48th birthday.
A grand procession of 52 vessels, stretching 1,280 meters, featured four royal barges, including the principal Suphannahong (King's seat) and Anantanakkharat (carrying Kathin robes).
An additional full-dress rehearsal is scheduled for October 28 to ensure all rowers and agencies are fully prepared for a smooth and dignified royal occasion.
