Leave the traffic-clogged roads of Bangkok behind and take a cruise on a converted rice barge along Bangkok's picturesque waterways. Enjoy being up close and personal with the traditional Thai life that leaves the city's modern face behind.
Cruise down the Chao Praya, the River of Kings, and the network of winding klongs (canals) which earned Bangkok the title of 'Venice of the East'. Bangkok's residents still depend on the waterways to transport their merchandise, especially rice, around the city. Boats of all shapes and sizes, ferries, long tailed boats, and barges pulled by tugboats half their size fill up this river and its canals. Get a glimpse of traditional Thai houses built on silts and children playing in the water.
Enjoy a gentle, relaxed cruise and admire the majestic sights dotted along the 'River of Kings' in Bangkok.
