popular-cruises-in-bangkokBangkok, the thriving capital of Thailand, can be explored in different ways, but cruising down its historical waterways is perhaps the most amazing one. While passing by the shimmering temples and glistening skyscrapers, built along these lovely rivers and canals, you’ll get a true taste of the rich cultural heritage of Bangkok, once called the “Venice of the East”. We have handpicked some of the popular cruises in Bangkok for you.

Chao Phraya Dinner Cruise
Take in the captivating views of highly revered temples and soaring skyscrapers, relish delicious Thai cuisine in a romantic candle-lit ambience, learn the glorious history of Chao Phraya – with all this and much more, a dinner cruise on the spectacular Chao Phraya River makes for an unforgettable holiday experience. Whether you are here for a family trip, a fun-filled vacation, or a romantic sojourn, this excursion is a must-do for all. During this nearly 2-hour ride, you will cruise past many historical sites including the Wat Arun, Grand Palace, and the Golden Rama VIII Bridge.

Loy Nava River Cruise
Anyone seeking a culturally-rich excursion would do well to opt for the Loy Nava River Cruise. While riding an ancient teakwood rice barge, guests enjoy interesting Thai dances and various cultural programmes. The views of amazingly lit temples on either side of the river just add to this already-surreal experience. The sunset cruise that begins at 6 pm remains a big hit among the tourists. Apart from delectable Thai culture and cuisine, guests are awed by captivating sunset views. Romantic couples, who wish to have a candlelit dinner, can hop on the boats that depart after 8pm.

The Chao Phraya Express Boat
Serving locals and tourists for over three decades, this prominent transportation service in Bangkok not only offers an easy transfer across the Chao Phraya, but also promises a delightful cultural experience. Daily, scores of locals commute on the boats run by this renowned transportation agency. People, who want to see what local life on Chao Phraya is all about, can choose to ride on these public ferries. Special tourist boats and weekend boat tours are also available.

Boat Ride to Koh Kret
Just a short ferry ride from Bangkok, Koh Kret makes for a peaceful getaway. The artificial island is famous for its interesting rural atmosphere, delicious local fares, and buzzing weekend markets. A boat ride to Koh Kret is your chance to cruise through tiny hamlets, enjoy fascinating views of rural settlements, and savour sumptuous local dishes, particularly ‘tort man nor galah’. One of the prominent tourist attractions here is the age-old Wat Poramai Yikawat, a Buddhist temple with a Mon-style marble Buddha statue, and a museum exhibiting various religious objects and local pottery.
