River Kwai Cruise
+ Golf
4 Days - Price from 37,920 THB
|
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 4 days/3 nights year
round program every Monday-Thursday and Thursday-Sunday on both
Upstream and Downstream programs alternately.
The RV River Kwai opens up an entirely new area for golf-enthusiasts
and river tourism in Kanchanaburi province west of Bangkok.
In the early mornings, we offer the tee-off golfs at the selected
golf courses, and the afternoon at leisure on the boat or with
the land excursions to visit attractions along the river including
historic sites, waterfalls, war cemeteries, hot springs, the
bridge on the River Kwai, and local attractions. |
