Formation of the Royal Barge Procession Upheld through the Ages Clear evidence shows that the Royal Barge Procession appeared in the early Ayutthaya period, although the royal procession by water is believed to have started since the Sukhothai period. The formation of the Royal Barge Procession that most clearly displays the great wealth and power of the royal court is one that originated in the reign of King Narai the Great (1656-1688).
