Reua Saeng are
lesser escort barges that
accompany the
Royal Barge Procession
at
the rear end of the
flotilla. There are totally seven such barges. This one
is the first and has the Thai
number one (๑) painted in white
on its bow. The oarsmen of the first six Reua
Saeng barges wear a
white jacket
bordered with blue, a blue
pahkaomah
with white dots,
blue trousers, and a blue brimless hat trimmed
with gold and with earflaps, whereas those of the last
one wear a white jacket bordered with red and gold, a
red pahkaomah, and a red
Malabiang-helmet
(fig.).
The roof of all the Reua
Saeng barges is red with a golden
frame in the form of an elongated quadrangle.
