The Royal Barge Anantanakkharat (Thai: เรือพระที่นั่งอนันตนาคราช), with 7-headed Nakkharat, is a royal barge in Thailand, originally created and built during the reign of Rama III (King Nangklao) in the Rattanakosin Era (Estimated 1840-1851). It is one of the four main royal barges used in the Royal Barge Procession.[1] When it is not commissioned, it is on display at the National Museum of Royal Barges in Bangkok.
