Description

The ancient Dock of Royal Barges stood on the west bank of the old Lopburi River (actually renamed Khlong Mueang or City Canal) opposite the Grand Palace between Wat Choeng Tha and Wat Phanom Yong. The ancient dock was divided into separate trenches, each locked up in a wooden and roofed enclosure. There were 20 barge houses adjacent, from the mouth of the Khu Mai Rong to Wat Choeng Tha. The dock and the barges were destroyed in the Burmese attack of Ayutthaya in 1767 CE. No visible traces remain of it, and the landscape has unfortunately been largely altered.
