Your experience

Craving that quintessential Thailand adventure? Look no further! Grab your ticket for a day featuring a guided tour and scenic cruising, both rolled into one epic journey!

A cultural odyssey

Begin your day with a comfortable AC coach journey from Bangkok, guided by an English-speaking expert who will take you to the beautiful Summer Palace of King Rama V at Bang Pa-In. Here, you'll be awed by a stunning amalgamation of Thai, Chinese, and Gothic architecture. Ask your guide about the meaning behind the teakwood carvings and Thai motifs! It's now time to head to Ayutthaya, the historical capital of Thailand. Witness the iconic central prang of Wat Mahatad and the trio of towering chedis or stupas at Wat Phrasrisanphet, telling tales of Thailand's rich history. Don't miss the majestic bronze Buddha statue housed within the serene confines of Wihan Phramongkhon Bophit.

Sail, savor & sightsee

Post the historical exploration, prepare to step onto the Grand Pearl Cruise Liner, featuring both indoor and outdoor decks, where you'll be greeted with a sumptuous buffet lunch featuring Thai and international cuisines. As you relish your meal, enjoy the picturesque views along the Chao Phraya River. From the colorful Royal Barges House to Thammasart University and Siriraj Hospital, there's plenty to feast your eyes on. Unwind with a cup of coffee as you take in the enchanting sights along the river banks, before returning to Bangkok.
