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.
