LEGENDARY CRUISE ON THE RIVER OF KINGS

This short 2 day CRUISE from BANGKOK to AYUTTHAYA and back brings you to all the highlights of AYUTTHAYA.

 

AYUTTHAYA was once upon time a majestic, rich and mighty city. During its ‘Golden Age’ (Seventeen Century), some big European or Asian nations like Japan, China, Portugal or France had close relationship with Siam. King of France, ‘Louis XIV’ sent permanent envoys, who settled a French counter down in Ayutthaya whereas Siamese ambassadors were sent to Versailles.
 
Founded in the fourteen Century by king U-Thong, Ayutthaya became one of the mightiest and biggest cities in Asia. Under the reign of King Naresuan, by end of Sixteen Century, Ayutthaya controled a huge territory including Lanna, part of actual Burma and Cambodia.
An attack of Burmese army by end of the Eighteen century sounds the doomsday of Ayutthaya. After the city was completely sacked, the court migrated southwards and settled down definitely in Bangkok, where they founded their new capital.
Ayutthaya was listed as World Heritage by UNESCO en 1991. The ruins reflect well the glorious past of the city and a full day is necessary to visit the main temples. A complete visit of the ruins including a stop in Bang Pa In takes certainly 2 days.
This exceptional cruise, sailing slowly on the rhythm of a traditional rice barge, will bring you back to time between Bangkok and Ayutthaya. You will stop here and there to discover some of the daily life of riverside inhabitants, or will admire some of the highlights punctuating the journey. It's simply an experience you can't get from just driving around the area.
