Loy River Song Cruise
Step aboard the boutique Loy River Song, a wholly reimagined antique rice barge.
Each of the four sleek and spacious ensuite cabins is glossy and modern, accommodating two guests each, although they can be connected for families. Your two-night voyage takes you from Bangkok to Ayutthaya on the Chao Phraya River – the River of Kings – and along the way, you’ll have the chance to try traditional Thai pottery making and learn the skills required to create local desserts. There are plenty of opportunities to explore the region’s exquisite temples, from the European-style Wat Niwet Woravihan to the temples of the UNESCO-listed Ayutthaya. Back onboard, a personal chef prepares all your meals with locally sourced ingredients served in the dining room or on the glorious Loy River Song deck.

Next, you’ll explore Bang Pa-In Palace, the serene summer retreat of the Thai monarchy. After stopping to refuel with some lunch on board, you'll explore the canals in Ayutthaya aboard a longtail boat, taking in the vibrant local life along the riverbanks. You'll then join a class to create some traditional Thai desserts. There will be ample time to visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed temples of Ayutthaya, once the capital of Thailand. The evening will be spent enjoying an exquisite dinner with wine after cocktails and canapes as the ship docks at Wat Bot for your second night on board.
