Chao Phraya River

Glistening Glory of Bangkok

The beautiful city of Bangkok is a city of endless neon lights and ceaseless forms of rich entertainment to many. The busy city has indeed taken many steps to ensure that the tourists who visit from all corners of the world are well taken care of. Some wondrous aspects of this beautiful city are however eclipsed by the color and vibrancy of the man made wonders that are lavishly sprinkled on the streets of charm. The city of Bangkok is indeed rich with many breathtaking delights bestowed upon it by nature herself, having been crafted exquisitely to cater to the yearning eye of the admiring seeker. The Chao Phraya River, is one of its priceless marvels, gleaming across the man made city with a glory that seems to never fade away. It certainly is a sight to behold as you enjoy the luxurious Bangkok cruises on the river. Memories offered by cruises such as Anantara Cruises are indeed too precious to be forgotten as these take you on a mesmerizing journey down the rippling masses of the silver river while lavish splendours are bestowed upon you, to make you feel as special as royalty.

The beautiful Chao Phraya River is called The River of Kings since the great and ancient King Rama 1 named it that and is certainly a fitting name for the glistening beauty of the city. An exotic fusion of traditional beauty and modern splendours fringe the river banks, giving each visitor a breathtaking vista to gaze upon every single minute of the cruise. Ancient temples and structures are beautifully mixed up with the sky scrapers and glassed formations of the modern world making a cruise down the river a true delight indeed.

One can take a public boat or a ferry to simply cross over to the other side as the simple lives of the locals crowd around noisily. You can also opt for a tourist boat that will give you access to 9 prominent piers for a fixed rate. Alternatively you can arrange a romantic cruise with your hotel to enjoy a journey of beauty to remember with that special one in your life.
