For centuries, The Chao Phraya River, "The River of Kings" in Thailand, has been the lifeblood of Thailand, carrying with it the history and culture of this proud nation. Flowing down from the fertile central plains for almost 400 kilometres, this birthplace of Thai civilization connects the ancient Siamese capital Ayutthaya with the modern capital Bangkok, where it remains an essential artery in the region's economic life.
The magic of the Overnight Ayutthaya Cruise is its unhurried pace that captures the subtle colours and moods of life on the river over a 24-hour period. A couple of hours into the journey, the bustle of the city is replaced by the tranquillity of the countryside. Along densely wooded river banks, tin and timber homes nestle in the hyacinth-clogged shallows housing families whose lives are still bound by the ancient waterway.
Delve into the gentle timelessness of river travel on beautifully restored rice barges which themselves have been ploughing the waters of the Chao Phraya and other Asian arteries for generations and let this unique experience transport you to a world free from the stresses of the modern day.
