Mekhala River Cruise (Bangkok - Ayuthaya - Bang Pa In)

Bangkok - Ayuthaya - Daily departure at 14:30 hrs

Even if you are planning to spend just 3 or 4 days in Bangkok-you should put aside time for this unforgettable experience. Mekhala is the name of our beautiful traditional teak wood rice barge, which has been converted into a stylish and luxurious floating hotel. We invite you to spend a night and a day on it with us.

With just 6 superbly outfitted airconditioned cabins (all with private toilets and showers) the Mekhala has the feel of your own private boat. Service from our friendly crew rivals that of Bangkok's top hotels, and as you slowly cruise along Thailand's "River of Kings"-the Chao Phya-you will feel like royalty yourself!

Your journey on the Mekhala gives you a glimpse of the real Thailand-traditional wooden riverside houses, glittering temples, lush green jungle foliage, laughing children playing in the water and a peaceful gentle pace. Leave the hectic rush of Bangkok behind you!

A candlelight dinner is served on deck as you share experiences with fellow guests. After a good night's sleep you wake to a beautiful sunrise over the river and an early morning visit to a riverside temple to make traditional offerings to Buddhist monks.

This may be your best chance to experience the traditional life of Thai people-in a very comfortable style! Don't miss it.
