Chao Phraya River scenes vivid images of Bangkok
28 Aug 2008 - The Chao Phraya River has always been a source of fascination for Thais and foreign visitors alike.

This 370 km waterway, the longest river in Thailand, starts from Nakhon Sawan, 200 km north of Bangkok and winds its way down past the capital to Samut Prakan before flowing into the Gulf of Thailand.

The river is named after the highest title in ancient Thai nobility. The title is no longer in use.

Here are some unforgettable scenes taken of the Chao Phraya River. These photographs by various Thai photographers were displayed at an exhibition, Preserving the Chao Phraya River held at the Bangkok Arts and Cultural Centre from 12 31 August 2008.

Photo taking of the exhibits by visitors is permitted at the Bangkok Arts and Cultural Centre.


Dawn of a new day

The scenes are rare glimpses of panoramic views caught at fleeting moments or scenes of river life in communities on the banks.


The majestic Rama IX Bridge

The river is virtually a life line for the rice growing communities in the Chao Phraya basin. Its a source of water, food, a channel of movement and a place for festivities and recreation. Little wonder its called the River of Life.


Taking flight

The riverside communities form an integral part of life along the Chao Phraya.


Daily routines


Growing up on the Chao Phraya


The last catch for the day

As the day ends, we get to see a different perspective of the river. At sundown, the silhouette of Wat Arun or the Temple of Dawn is cast against a crimson sky set aglow by the setting sun.


Sundown

The skies turn to a milder aqua tint at twilight with twinkling lights from the surrounding buildings.


Twilight

The bright city lights take over at nightfall.


The Chao Phraya by night

Its even more fascinating during festivals.


Celebrations

If you dont have a chance to catch the exhibition or the see the Chao Phraya River for yourself, enjoy these memorable images of Bangkok. Or click on the permalink for a Bangkok river cruise.
