Princess makes merit on birthday by releasing fish into Chao Phraya
HRH Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana graciously released 390,000 fish into the Chao Phraya River at Bangkok’s Tha Wasukri Pier on Monday as part of a merit-making rite to mark her birthday.
The Princess released nine species – silver barb, red-tail tinfoil barb, red-cheek barb, Siamese mud carp, climbing perch, seven-stripped carp, featherback fish, sultan fish and giant catfish – all of which were provided by the Fisheries Department.
Earlier in the day, she released a pair of cattle and some red-whiskered bulbuls.
