Evening cruise down Chao Phraya river

Mae Nam Chao Phraya (“the King’s River”) flows through Indochina and is the major river in Thailand. Its feeders head in the north of the Kingdom and the estuary is at the shore of the Gulf of Siam on the South China Sea.

The kingdom’s main waterway has absorbed its centuries-long history. The Royal river gave birth to several capitals of Siam including Bangkok. Chao Phraya flows across the city from north to south, splitting It into two unequal parts. The western part is Thonburi, often called Oriental Venice, and the eastern is the city’s historical center, with numerous palaces, temples, monuments, governmental buildings, hotels and restaurants.

It is the estuary of the river where the Thai navigation history started several centuries ago. Traditional flat boats, barges loaded with rice, Chinese junks and posh restaurant boats offering fantastic delicacies ply the King’s River.

Probably, the only way to feel the pulse of the fascinating historical center of the City of Angels is to take a Chao Phraya river cruise. See the astonishing skyscrapers and ancient buildings frozen in time, including the fabulously illuminated Grand Palace and spectacular Temple of Dawn. Make sure you take pictures during your romantic dinner.
