Anantara Shuttle Boat Service

3 Best Day Trips From Bangkok

"A few years ago, Thai luxury hospitality group Anantara launched the Anantara Dream, a beautifully restored 100-year-old rice barge that can accommodate up to four people—so basically a private cruise ship—and comes with two luxurious cabins with en-suite bathrooms, a private chef, and an all-to-yourself upper deck lounge where you can soak in the views along the Chao Phraya river, glass of bubbly in hand. The tour departs from the Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort and passes some of the main sights before slowly making its way to Ayutthaya. The sights are mesmerizing, the service rivals a five-star hotel, the is food excellent, and the personalization feel gracious and indulgent." - Marianna Cerini
