If you want to learn more about Thai history take a look at a video I made from Thailands first capital city. Thailands 1st capital - Sukhothai World Heritage Site th-cam.com/video/6HrXsmu6KeE/w-d-xo.html
Narai Songsubhan is a representation of the Narayana God on his Garuda. According to Thai Devaraja (God-King) beliefs, the Thai king during his coronation undergoes an apotheosis that makes him the Earthly embodiment of the Narayana god, an avatar of Vishnu. The Garuda is the personification of the power of the skies, triumphs over the Nagas, the personification pf the power of water, therefore Narayana’s supremacy over Garuda means the king is master of the skies and waters, central elements to all agricultural societies, and where the institution of Thai monarchy legitimizes its rule.
Very good information. Thank you for sharing. I knew about the garuda and the naga but I didn’t understand how it was tied into the Thai king. Thanks for watching and commenting.

One of the good museums There are important ceremonial boats to be kept for viewing.
Yes it’s very good. Have you been there? Do you know if it’s possible to see the other boats that are stored at the navy yard?
@@endlessjourneytravels I've visited that place a long time ago. I'm not sure most of the places are not open for tourists to visit.
Beautiful ceremonial boat
These boats are amazing. Just to think they were carved by hand from a single tree.
Fun fact! I got lost trying to find the exit to the main road. LOL
That is funny. :) you never know where some of the narrow alleyways will take you in this city.
How did you like the museum?
