A moonlit dinner cruise down the majestic Chao Phraya River is one of the most leisurely and romantic ways to take in the sights of old Bangkok, where historic landmarks like the Grand Palace and Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) stand illuminated along the riverbanks. Anantara’s Manohra Cruise elevates this experience with a touch of luxury, offering a sit-down banquet and traditional Thai hospitality aboard one of three elegantly restored antique rice barges.
The journey begins at 18:30 at the Anantara Riverside Hotel, where guests are warmly welcomed aboard and guided to their seats by staff dressed in traditional Thai attire. The subtle elegance of the setting, paired with unobstructed river views from every table, creates a unique ambiance, setting it apart from the faster, flashier cruises that traverse the river.
In addition to the classic dinner cruise, the Manohra offers special festive cruises on occasions such as Loy Krathong, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Eve. These festive cruises feature seasonal menus and celebratory touches that make the experience even more memorable.
For an early start to the day, the Dawn Cruise is a serene option. This cruise includes a visit to Wat Arun, allowing guests to experience the beauty of the temple at first light while enjoying a glass of sparkling wine. Each of these options offers a distinct yet equally enchanting way to experience Bangkok's timeless river scenery.
Choose the option that best suits your preferences, and immerse yourself in the unique charm of the Chao Phraya River.
