Mekhala River Cruise
Bangkok - Ayuthaya - Bang Pa In - 2 Days
The tour
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.
