  • Lightweight clothing is a must due to the tropical climate, but also bring a light jacket for cooler evenings.

  • Comfortable walking shoes are vital for temple visits and city tours.
  • Swimwear, sunscreen, and insect repellent for those off-boat excursions.

Thailand River Cruise Packages

  • Getting There

    To begin a Thailand river cruise, most travelers will arrive in Bangkok, the country's bustling capital. This city is well-connected by air with international flights from around the world, making it a convenient starting point. Once in Bangkok, the main port for river cruises is easily accessible. It's typically located along the Chao Phraya River, which runs through the city. Cruise-goers can get to the port via taxi, tuk-tuk, or a quick ride on the BTS Skytrain to the nearest station, followed by a short walk or shuttle service provided by the cruise company. The port serves as a gateway to the wonders of Thailand, with ships ready to set sail on a scenic route past temples, markets, and traditional Thai communities.

  • Immerse Yourself in the Culture of Thailand

    Thailand's culture is a tapestry of traditions and customs. Respect is the core, with the 'wai' greeting—a bow with palms pressed together—being a common sight. Remove your shoes before entering someone's home or a temple, and always dress modestly in religious sites. Festivals are the heartbeat of Thai culture, with the water festival Songkran in April and the enchanting Loy Krathong in November, where rivers gleam with floating lanterns. The Thai New Year, or Songkran, is especially vibrant, featuring joyful water-throwing as a symbol of cleansing and renewal. Engaging with these customs and festivities allows travelers to truly connect with the warm and welcoming spirit of Thailand.

  • Experience the Flavors of Thailand on a River Cruise

    Thailand's cuisine is a feast for the senses, blending spicy, sour, sweet, and salty flavors. On a river cruise, you'll have the chance to sample a variety of Thai dishes. Classic Pad Thai, with its stir-fried noodles, is a must-try, as well as spicy Tom Yum soup, rich in flavor with shrimp, lemongrass, and herbs. For something milder, Massaman curry offers a deliciously smooth taste with a mix of Indian and Malay influences.

    Don't miss the opportunity to try street food in Bangkok, where vendors serve up fresh, flavorful dishes like Som Tam (spicy green papaya salad) or succulent Satay skewers with peanut sauce. Many cruises offer onboard dining featuring local cuisine and may even host market tours where you can pick ingredients for a cooking class.

    For a unique dining experience, look for riverside restaurants in Ayutthaya and Sukhothai offering traditional Thai dishes with views of the ancient ruins. And for a refreshing drink to cool down, nothing beats coconut water straight from the shell or a chilled local beer as you take in the riverside sights. These culinary experiences are integral to the adventure, giving you a taste of Thailand's rich and varied food culture.

  • The Perfect Time for a Thailand River Cruise

    Thailand's tropical climate, which divides the year into three distinct seasons, offers varied experiences for river cruising. The cool season, from November to February, is considered the best time for river cruising in Thailand. During these months, the weather is delightful, with warm days and cooler evenings, and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for enjoying the views and attractions from the deck of a river cruise. However, this is also the peak tourist season, so those opting for river cruising during this time should anticipate more company, albeit with the added excitement of vibrant cultural festivals.

    The hot season, spanning from March to May, brings higher temperatures, with the mercury often soaring. This period is less crowded, offering a chance for river cruisers to enjoy lower prices and fewer tourists. However, the intense heat, especially during midday, can be a factor to consider when planning river cruising during these months.

    Lastly, the rainy season, which extends from June to October, is characterized by heavy showers. Despite this, it also brings lush, verdant landscapes and fewer tourists, making it an appealing time for river cruising in Thailand. The rain typically comes in short bursts, allowing river cruising activities to continue. The landscape during this season is particularly picturesque, offering a unique backdrop for river cruising. For those who don't mind occasional rain, the rainy season can be a cost-effective and tranquil time for river cruising in Thailand, providing a different but equally enriching experience.

  • Why Book a River Cruise in Thailand?

    Booking a river cruise in Thailand offers a unique vantage point to experience the country's lush landscapes and cultural landmarks that you just can't get from land-based travel. Cruises provide great value for money, bundling accommodation, transportation, and sightseeing in one convenient package. On a cruise, every day brings a new view right to your window, from the dynamic cityscapes of Bangkok to the ancient ruins of Ayutthaya, without the hassle of repacking or transferring hotels. Plus, cruising gives you the opportunity to visit places that might be difficult to access by road. The ease of travel is a significant perk, allowing for a stress-free holiday where you can lounge on the deck, dine on fresh local cuisine, and dock to explore without ever worrying about logistics. In addition, some cruises offer exclusive experiences, such as private tours of temples or after-hours access to museums, adding a sense of exclusivity to your trip. For those looking to dive deep into Thailand's culture and scenery while enjoying the comforts of modern travel, a river cruise is an excellent choice.

Thailand River Cruises Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Are Thailand River Cruises?

    Thailand river cruises generally last from four to seven days, if you go on an inland trip, or they can feature travel to other countries, such as South Vietnam, Laos, and/or Cambodia. If you take a river cruise along the Mekong River, you will usually start in Bangkok and travel to other countries. Chao Phraya river cruises or Kwai River cruises generally cover the country of Thailand.

  • What’s Included on Thai River Cruises?

    While you can buy all-inclusive Thai river cruises that travel out of Bangkok and lead to other South East Asian ports, you can also customize your river cruise experience and travel solely in Thailand. Both river cruise offerings provide all meals, luxury accommodations, and Wi-Fi.

  • What are Kwai River Cruises?

    The Kwai River is located in western Thailand. Therefore, this river cruise mainly focuses on visiting sites in the departure city of Bangkok and exploring the sites of Kanchanaburi. Most of the sites in Kanchanaburi are related to historic World War II activities. 

  • What’s Included on Kwai River Cruises?

    If you purchase an all-inclusive river cruise, you will get all your meals free, including beverages, such as coffee, tea, beer, or wine. Enjoy valet and butler services as well. Wi-Fi and Internet access are generally featured, and you can choose from guided or escorted tour options. 

  • How Much Do Thailand River Cruises Cost?

    If you customize your river cruise experience, the journey can become quite pricey, especially if you want to see remote villages or ports on your trip. Expect to pay $11,000 per person to as much as $30,000 per person, depending on when you travel. If you wish to take a pre-packaged, all-inclusive tour that covers other cities and countries, such as Saigon, Vietnam or Luang Prabang, Laos, the price is about one-fifth that amount or around $6,000 per person.

  • What’s the Best River Cruise for a Thai River Cruise?

    If you take a Kwai River cruise or choose to sail on the Chao Phraya River, you need to contact a river cruise company that offers customized travel, Avalon Waterways is the best choice for journeying inside and outside of Thailand. Get the best river cruise for your money by choosing to go during a drier time of the year, such as November. Even if you have to pay more, you will have a better opportunity to see the sights and attractions and take part in more activities.

  • How Much Do Kwai River Cruises Cost?

    Because Kwai River cruises are more specialized, you will spend more money than what you would spend on packages on river cruise lines, such as Viking River Cruises or Avalon Waterways. For example, if you share a cabin with someone and go during a more preferable time, such as November, you will usually spend around $48,000 per person when you share a cabin on a river cruise trip of 4 days.
