EDITORS COMMENTS
A Glimpse into the Grandeur of the Past: Bangkok Royal Barges, Thailand (1952) Step back in time with this photograph of the Bangkok Royal Barges, a unique and significant aspect of Thai history and culture. Docked in a shed, eight to ten magnificent barges are seen, each measuring up to an impressive 150 feet in length. These royal vessels, reminiscent of Egyptian frescoes, were not only a symbol of power and prestige but also a vital mode of transportation for the Thai monarchy. Each barge was intricately designed, adorned with elaborate gilt figureheads and held 60 skilled rowers. The throne, a crucial element of these grand vessels, added to their majesty. The photograph, taken in 1952, offers a rare glimpse into the grandeur of the Thai monarchy during the 1950s. The image transports us back to the Fifties, a time when these impressive barges were still in use. The shed, now a dry-dock, protected these historical treasures from the elements. The sight of these majestic vessels, with their gilt figureheads and rowers, is a testament to the rich history and traditions of Thailand. As we admire the photograph, we are reminded of the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into creating these royal barges. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical artifacts and the unique cultural heritage they represent.
