  Chatuchak Musical Fountain

 

 

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).
