There is no better way to explore the sights and sounds of Bangkok than to take a delightful cruise on the historic Chao Phraya River. Bangkok’s splendid temples and the ancient city of Ayutthaya can all be admired from up close by taking one of these popular river cruises. Since many different formats and options are available in this regard you are sure to find the cruise that suits your preferences and budget. Typically your cruise vessel will be a contemporary luxury cruiser or a refurbished rice barge, both excellent choices for your excursion.
No trip to Thailand would be complete without exploring the historical site of Ayutthaya, easily reached via a river cruise. At this cultural site the visitor will see the remnants of the locale’s past glories. A river cruise perfectly complements this cultural highlight as it will be an experience that relives the past magnificence of the Thai kingdom.
Another option is cruising the tranquil waters of the province of Kanchanaburi to the west of the Thai capital. A popular vessel taking passengers on this route is a replica of the vessels used in the country many years ago; this authenticity adds to the nostalgia and charm of the excursion. On the way you will see historic sites, temples, Khmer era ruins, war cemeteries, waterfalls, hot springs and other attractions.
Many of the Bangkok cruise operators offer many creature comforts to make your trip a delight in every way. From plush cabins to sumptuous buffets and delectable cuisine every effort is made to make your trip a pleasure that will never be forgotten. Classic English afternoon tea, gourmet snacks, Thai specialties and cocktails are on offer for the discerning traveller. However if you desire a more economical option less costly choices are readily available.
The lure of the tranquil river waters, the gentle sway of the cruise vessel and the sensational unfolding panoramas make the experience a once in a lifetime experience. Overnight cruises are another option for the visitor.
