The practice session will take place on October 26 and 29. The annual royal barge procession celebrates the Royal Krathin Ceremony, marking the end of three-month Buddhist retreat. His Majesty the King and members of the Royal Family will travel on the barges on the Chao Phya to offer yellow robes at Temple of dawn. The best place for spectators is at the Navy Base on the west bank - where they can see long procession of 52 royal barges breezing by in front of the Grand Palace and those golden pinnacles.

The price is Bt30,000 for a table of 10 spectators, and includes a set dinner and drinks. Individual seats, with a snack and drinks, are also available for Bt1,200 per person. For reservations, call (02) 652 8319-20 or (02) 250 5500 extension 2115-9.
