  Wannapan Korkiatthanasuk drew and carved 'Suphannahongsa Mirror' out of transparent glass by hand, and primed it with Gold Foil (24K Gold Leaf).  'Suphannahongsa' is Thai royal barge which was first found in the era of Ayutthaya dynasties (King Maha Chakapat 1548 AD).

   During the reign of King Rama I, the capital city of Thailand was changed to Bangkok.  Suphannahongsa was built and named as 'Sri Supannahong'.  As the time went by, Sri Suphannahongsa was declined, and she was rebuilt again by the order of King Rama V, and named as 'Suphannahongsa'.

  
Suphannahongsa is sailed in only important royal ceremony, and she is considered as Far East Asia Heritage because of her elaborate architectural beauty and her historical importance.  Please see more details in 'Bayuhayatra-Chollamark', Thai Royal Barge Procession.
