Namthip Cruise

Following her previous life as a traditional Thai rice barge, transporting cargos of rice, sugar and sand up-river from Bangkok to remote riverside towns, she was converted to a touring river boat and her name was changed from ‘Ieam Jun’ to ‘Mekhala’.

 

Now, she is re-born as the luxury river cruising vessel “Namthip” that will carry you from Bangkok along the grand Chao Phraya River.

 

With a handsome hull and deck of solid wood as well as a timber

shingled and natural woven bamboo grass covered roof, the approach to the design and decorations for the renewed boat honors the traditional Thai architectural palette of materials including timber paneling, woven rattan, bamboo and solid floor boarding whilst providing luxurious modern-day amenities on both the upper and lower decks.

​

Below deck, two large guest suites provide generous onboard accommodation. Both suites include separate bathrooms finished with tap-wares by Water Works and European fittings.

​

Air conditioners are artfully concealed while in the master suite, glazed windows can be opened to allow full natural cross-ventilation and daylight as desired. The master suite is also convertible into a meeting room for onboard entertaining or small group conferences, in privacy.

 

All elements of the boat, from the mechanical to onboard safety equipment, are specified to the highest levels of quality with the intent of offering guests as enjoyable and relaxing an onboard time as possible.
