Wichai Prasit Fort holds significant importance as the venue for conducting "royal water ceremonies" and firing royal gun salutes on special occasions. Currently, the Royal Thai Navy continues to utilize this fort as the designated firing point for salutes to honor the King and members of the Royal Family. The resounding boom of the cannons echoing across the Chao Phraya River serves as a symbol of loyalty and auspiciousness on significant dates. Additionally, the fort provides one of the most stunning vantage points to witness the "Royal Barge Procession" as it gracefully sails past.
