3 night cruises depart Bangkok on Monday

6 night cruises depart Bangkok on Monday
The RV River Kwai, the first inland cruise ship in Thailand, is a
newly built colonial style river cruiser based on designs used by the
original Irrawaddy Flotilla which was founded in Burma in 1865 and by
the 1920s was the largest privately owned fleet of ships in the world.
The RV River Kwai carries a maximum of 20 passengers in 10 teakwood
cabins (single deck) and operates on a 7 day / 6 night year round
cruise program every Monday-Sunday and on a 4 days/3 nights program
every Monday-Thursday and Thursday-Sunday. The RV River Kwai opens up
an entirely new area for river tourism in Kanchanaburi province west
of Bangkok. Every morning and afternoon land excursions are offered to
visit attractions along the river including temples, historic sites,
Khmer ruins, waterfalls, war cemeteries, hot springs, the bridge on
the River Kwai, and local attractions, etc.
The RV River Kwai has 10 cabins which are located on
the main deck. They are simple but elegant wooden cabins. The cabin size
is 3 meters by 4 meters and they are individually air-conditioned, have
twin beds, en suite bathrooms with a walk in shower, mini fridge &
mini safe. Cabins have small balcony so it is easy to take in the
breathtaking scenery while cruising on the river or just lie back
and view the scenery through the wall to wall windows.
Due to the early departure and late return time of the cruise,
pre-cruise and post-cruise hotels in Bangkok are recommended.
