The Chao Phraya River
On this slow boat tour we cruise along the Chao Phraya River from Bangkok to Ayutthaya. Leaving the heart of the city with all its glimmering lights, we glide past the illuminated Wat Arun and the majestic Grand Palace by night. As we reach the outer areas of Bangkok, the sunset gives your pictures just the right light while the city lights fade behind us. We pass beautiful temples like Wat Ampuwararam, Wat Bot and dozens of others, moving slowly enough for you to capture photos from the river.

I recently took tour with my friends from Bangkok to Ayutthaya and I really loved it! It’s a calm, beautiful trip along the way you see temples, small villages, and everyday life on the river. The atmosphere is super relaxing, with great food, drinks, and a friendly crew. Perfect if you want to take a break from the city rush and see Thailand from the water. Not for those in a hurry, but if you enjoy slow, atmospheric journeys I highly recommend it!

Slow travel is the new thing ✨🦥 was very pleased with the experience. Good food, music and views. Can’t really ask for more. My favorite part was laying in the hammock after a big nice meal - enjoying the sunset. Can absolutely recommend!
