The Siam

Step aboard a traditional Sala Thai–inspired boat and cruise along the Chao Phraya River at sunset. As you depart from your riverside hotel, you’ll travel past historic temples, residential districts and modern developments lining the water. You’ll sit back in comfort while the crew navigates upstream, offering a different perspective of the city’s layout. The changing light reflects off the river as day turns to evening.

You’ll enjoy light refreshments on board while observing daily life along the banks. The cruise gives you a clear sense of Bangkok’s connection to the river and its ongoing role in city life.

Take part in a Muay Thai training session during your stay in Bangkok and learn the basics of Thailand’s national sport. You’ll train with a professional coach who adjusts the session to match your fitness and experience level. After a proper warm-up, you’ll practise stance, footwork, punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes. Work on pads and drills to build technique and coordination.

The coach explains rules, scoring and the cultural significance of Muay Thai in Thai society. By the end of the session, you’ll gain practical insight into the discipline, conditioning and focus required in this long-standing combat sport.

Explore Bangkok in an electric tuk tuk and travel through the city in a more considered way. You’ll set off from your riverside base and move through historic districts, passing temples, markets and civic buildings. The vehicle runs on electric power, reducing emissions while allowing you to cover short distances with ease. Your driver follows a planned route and can pause at selected landmarks for photographs or short walks.

You’ll remain seated in comfort while observing street life at close range. The ride offers a practical introduction to Bangkok’s older quarters and helps you navigate key sites within a manageable timeframe.
