✅Comprehensive evaluation: Classic teak antique cruise ship
According to the official website, the Loy Nava Cruise is the only antique teak boat on the Chao Phraya River. It is converted from a 70-year-old rice ship. The hull is made of solid teak and the roof is made of seven layers of bamboo skin. Woven, very suitable for travelers who love traditional style.
The Loinawa cruise ship is small in size and can accommodate not many passengers. It is very different from the buffet set of large cruise ships. It can avoid crowded food. The Thai singing and dancing performances are also quite quiet, not suitable for people who like lively singing and dancing. , But it is very suitable for family and friends to chat and eat with the river view. The premise is that the boat will inevitably be easy to shake and people who are prone to seasickness. You may think about it when you make an appointment.
