Begin the evening at River City Arts & Antiques, a cultural destination on the banks of the Chao Phraya River known for its connection to Thailand's art, antiques and collecting traditions. Explore exhibitions and galleries showcasing Thai and Asian artworks, Buddhist imagery, traditional objects, antiques and contemporary creative works. The venue provides an interesting introduction to Thailand's artistic heritage, where centuries-old cultural traditions meet the country's modern creative expression.

From River City, continue to the river and board a traditional rice barge, recalling the vessels that once played an important role in transporting rice and goods along Thailand's waterways. Cruising aboard a rice barge offers a more intimate and traditional alternative to larger modern vessels, allowing guests to experience the Chao Phraya from the water while appreciating the historic relationship between Bangkok and its river. As the sun sets, the atmosphere changes from the activity of the daytime river to a beautifully illuminated evening landscape.

During the cruise, enjoy an authentic Thai cuisine experience featuring traditional flavours and dishes prepared using the distinctive combination of sweet, sour, salty and spicy tastes characteristic of Thai cooking. Dining on the river provides an opportunity to appreciate Thai food not simply as a meal, but as an important expression of the country's cultural identity, and regional diversity.

​

The journey is accompanied by traditional music entertainment onboard, adding another dimension to the evening. The sounds of Thai music create a relaxed cultural atmosphere as the barge passes riverside temples, historic communities, elegant hotels and important landmarks illuminated against the night sky. Depending on the route, guests may see some of Bangkok's most recognisable riverside landmarks from an entirely different perspective.
