Thanks for this video. I love how you explained the train in depth. I haven't seen anyone else take the time to do this. I love the little details. You rock! 😊
If you're interested, this Sunday, Oct 27 from 3 pm, there will be a royal barge procession from around Rama 8 Bridge to Wat Arun. The king will be offering monk robes as part of the end of the Buddhist Lent. 52 barges and 2,399 oarsmen (all Navy's I bet) w/ the main barge, the Golden Swan, being 130 yrs old bulit during King Rama 5 and finished King Rama 6. The procession is 1.28 km long. This pomp and ceremony follows an ancient protocol procedure to the last detail. It's going to be spectacular! Doesn't happen too often. Last time was during King Rama 10's coronation 4 yrs ago.
Thanks so much for this! We were down by the Chao Phraya across from Wat Arun last week and just missed one of the rehearsals for this event. Really appreciate the detail in your comment. Any suggestions on a good spot to view the procession? Always appreciate your thoughtful comments🙏🏾❤️🫶🏾
@@whatsupwkirsten Sounds like the best spots would be those piers starting from the Green Pier (Wat Po), Tha Tien pier (very close by), Tha Chang pier (Grand Palace) and Tha Maharaj pier (half way between Grand Palace & Thamasart University). Also, inside the university, there will be a stand of 1,130 seats. Expect crowds at all those spots though. There will be 18 big screens scattered on both banks of the river and a live stream on Royal Thai Navy facebook and sounds like on Thai PBS too.
@VintageThaiLadyBoy Thank you for taking the time for such a detailed response, especially the tips about fb and PBS. If the crowds are just too much (or if we get lazy), glad we can still see it. It really sounds like something not to be missed!😍🫶🏾
Currently,all passengers in BKK will pay only Baht 20 for the train fare,specifically red and purple lines and will soon be extended to all lines both BTS and MRT,according to the latest news announced by the government recently.
I've been reading that, too, and that would be great for all lines for sure. I've also heard about a possible surcharge for cars to come in to central BKK in an attempt to alleviate congestion and promote use of public transport? Thanks for another helpful comment 😀
How often are you choosing English instead of Thai when language options are available? I try not to choose English and it forces me to learn. Practice, practice, practice the language.
