If you’re looking for romance, the Loy Dream makes a perfect private charter for couples and honeymooners. Sail along Bangkok’s majestic Chao Phraya River to Thailand’s old capital, the UNESCO World Heritage site Ayutthaya, and discover exquisite temples rising along the riverbanks en route to ancient wonders. From the timeless old-world charm of the interior to the amazing service of the on-board staff, the meticulously restored 100-year-old rice barge promises a spectacular stay.
Families and friends can alternatively enjoy an extraordinary experience aboard the Loy River Song. Its four elegantly designed cabins provide ample space for you all to relax (which can be booked per cabin or as a whole private charter). During the journey, stop for excursions along the way – exploring temples and palaces – and savour great food and drinks, including all-inclusive alcohol. Upon the sundeck, marvel at the breathtaking natural beauty passing by on your way to Ayutthaya.
Seeing Thai life from a different view is such a unique experience. With amazing service and food, from afternoon tea to sunset cocktails, there’s no better way to explore the historic ‘River of Kings’.
