In the past, it was also raised in the Royal Palace and was part of traditional games, reflecting beauty and strength, which are values ??that are at the core of Thainess.

Bringing the beautiful Fighting Fish tail to decorate a ship sailing along the Chao Phraya River is considered a tribute to and celebration of Thai cultural heritage that has been passed down for a long time, and invites guests to absorb cultural stories through a contemporary experience with large paintings that stretch along the ship, like a living storytelling. And move along with the historical riverside views.
