Chiang Mai resort starts luxury river cruise

Anantara Chiang Mai Resort’s prime riverfront location invites exploration in style. Its new river barge, the Nam Jai, is available for both group and private cruises along the Ping River.

The Nam Jai, literally ‘water from the heart’ in Thai, but more commonly understood as ‘with heart’, is an antique teak rice barge which has been restored by hand and outfitted with comfortable seating for eight. Cruises will set off from the resort’s newly built private pier, Long Muan, which means ‘fun sailing’ in the local Lanna dialect.

There are two itineraries for guests to choose from. The sunrise cruise departs at 9am for the nearby Wat Ket Karam. One of Chiang Mai’s oldest communities, Wat Ket, is a melting pot of cultures. The twilight voyage departs at 5pm, sailing north past some of the city’s most iconic bridges, small temples and into lush green.
