The Anantara Song and the Anantara Dream are gorgeous teak wood rice barges that have been restored to the very highest standards and now cruise the route between Bangkok and Ayutthaya along the Chao Phraya River.
Unlike other boats, the two night journey with Anantara begins and ends in Bangkok, making it a lovely relaxing experience without a need for a road transfer back to Bangkok at the end of the cruise. The standard is the very highest available, with the teak wood barges lovingly converted to their present splendour.
The Anantara Song has 4 air conditioned staterooms all with their own private ensuite bathrooms. The living space in the boat is spacious and comfortable with a lounge, dining area, sun deck and a fully stocked galley. The slightly smaller Anantara Dream has only 2 cabins but is otherwise of a similar high standard.
In terms of the itinerary, there are slight variations, depending on the boat and the day. Please talk to us for exact details. The following is a rough outline.
The first day on-board includes a short guided tour of Wat Arun in Bangkok, the Royal Barges Museum holding the extraordinary royal barge collection, Koh Kret, home of the Mon ethnic minority group and Wat Samakkiyaram for a fine sunset.
Day two is mainly taken up with visit to the various sites of Ayuthhaya and all transfers whilst on land are by limousine. Your expert guide will be able to bring the venerable ruins at Ayutthaya to life. The mooring for the night is Wat Niwet Thammaprawat, build by King Rama V in the style of an English Gothic Church.
The final day includes the Summer Palace and a gentle cruise back to Bangkok.
All meals are included on-board, breakfast, lunch and a sumptuous Thai feast in the evening.
Luxury - Luxury hotels would have a superb level of service, very comfortable and usually spacious bedrooms, excellent food, great design and character. For us, when we visited, these places all had the 'wow factor'. A luxury hotel should satisfy the criteria of the most discerning clients.

Customer Feedback
I started doing a search on the net for specialists and came across Experience Travel Group. I liked a lot what I saw on their website so started an online dialogue with one of their operators. She quickly realised what we are looking for and got one of her colleges who was a specialist in this area. A chap called David Gookey called me back to chat about what we wanted. We gave David a brief for our budget and the type of things that we wanted to do and he did the rest. All I can say is he put together the perfect holiday, sorted out the best tours and some incredible hotels. All guides, flights, transport and transfers taken care of. If you're reading this David thank you once again.
