This spectacular fountain in
Bangkok's
Chatuchak/Queen
Sirikit
Park (fig.) is the nation's largest. It is a musical
fountain, which daily gives
regular, stunning performances, nicely choreographed to
Thai music. The musical fountain is located in the head of a
brook-like pond that has been landscaped in the shape of
a
snake, that
head to tail measures around 930 meters, though then continues as a lesser
stream-like ditch for another 240 or so meters and ends in a body of still water
The snake-like pond has a single coil at the anterior part of its elongated
body, which forms an island
that also features a fountain, while other parts of the snake-like pond also have some
smaller fountains along the way, i.e.
two in the coil and another dozen towards the primary snake's tail section (not
taking in account the final 240 meter section).
