The Royal Barge Procession in Bangkok, conducted on very
rare occasions, is a spectacular royal armada on the Chao
Phraya River. This procession is normally conducted on the
following occasions:

• When the King ascends the throne.
• When the King goes down the Chao Phraya to present
  robes to the monks during the Royal Krathin Ceremony after
  the Buddhist Lent in October.
• When the King goes to Saraburi to pay homage to the
  Buddha’s footprint.
• When Bangkok receives important Buddha images from
  other cities.
• When receiving foreign diplomatic dignitaries to
  Bangkok.

Some of the memorable Royal Barge Processions during the
reign of King Rama IX, the present King, were:

• On 14 May 1957, to commemorate the 25th century of the
  Buddhist era.
• On 06 Apr 1982, to commemorate 200 years of the
  Bangkok era on the Bangkok Bicentennial.
• On 05 Dec 1999, to celebrate the 72nd birthday of King
  Rama IX.

The most recent Royal Barge Procession was on 20 Oct 2003
for the closing ceremony of the APEC Conference in Bangkok,
in honor of the visiting heads of state.

This procession was special as this was the first time it took
place at night, amid special light and sound effects for the
stretch of the river fronting the VIP’s. The guests were seated
in the Royal Thai Navy Institute across the Chao Phraya River
from the Grand Palace.

At 2000 hours, 50 barges consisting of the Suphannahongse, the
Narai Song Suban King Rama IX and escort barges were
launched from the Wasukri Pier upriver.

This flotilla of royal barges, when fully deployed in a sailing
formation of five columns abreast and 90 m wide, stretched 1.5
km along the Chao Phraya.

Concurrently at the Royal Thai Navy Institute, a 10-minute
sight and sound presentation in six languages was made on the
history and tradition of the royal barges.

The presentation was timed to end as the Royal Barge
Procession sailed into view, on waters apparently lit with gold,
as a curtain of mist fell over the river, creating an ethereal air.

Two thousand men of the Royal Thai Navy in ancient
ceremonial uniforms rowed steadfastly by in perfect unison,
honed through months of intense practice. Their chants of the
ancient boat song, that dates back to the days of King Narai of
Ayutthaya, drifted across the river.

Just then, the night erupted as fireworks burst, filling the sky
with the brilliant national colors of the participating nations.
The lights cascaded down illuminating the Royal Barge
Procession as it streamed past the Grand Palace, a splendid
finish to a grand event.

The royal barges can be viewed at the Royal Barge Museum, Bangkok.

The life expectancy of your RV batteries depends on you. How they’re used, how well they’re maintained, how they’re discharged, how they’re re-charged, and how they are stored all contribute to a batteries life span. A battery cycle is one complete discharge from 100% down to about 50% and then re-charged back to 100%.

One important factor to battery life is how deep the battery is cycled each time. If the battery is discharged to 50% everyday it will last twice as long as it would if it’s cycled to 80%. Keep this in mind when you consider a battery’s amp hour rating. The amp hour rating is really cut in half because you don’t want to completely discharge the battery before recharging it. The life expectancy depends on how soon a discharged battery is recharged. The sooner it is recharged the better.

What does all of this mean to you? That depends on how you use your RV. If most of your camping is done where you’re plugged into an electrical source then your main concern is just too properly maintain your deep cycle batteries. But if you really like to get away from it all and you do some serious dry-camping you’ll want the highest amp hour capacities you can fit on your RV.

Deep cycle batteries come in all different sizes. Some are designated by group size, like Group 24, 27 and 31. Basically the larger the battery the more amp hours you get. Depending on your needs and the amount of space you have available, there are several options when it comes to batteries. You can use one 12-volt Group 24 deep cycle battery that provides 70 to 85 amp hours or you can use two or more 12-volt batteries wired in parallel. Parallel wiring increases amp hours but not voltage.

If you have the room you can do what a lot of RVers do and switch from the standard 12-volt batteries to two of the larger 6-volt golf cart batteries. These pairs of 6-volt batteries need to be wired in series to produce the required 12-volts. Series wiring increases voltage but not amp hours. If this still doesn’t satisfy your requirements you can build larger battery banks using four 6-volt batteries wired in series/parallel that will give you 12-volts and double your AH capacity.

Happy Camping,
