OVERVIEW

"Manohra" and "Manohra Moon", 50-year-old rice barges that were completely re-built and restored for dining and cocktail cruising. The first was launched in the summer 1992, for lunch or dining cruises and due to demand the second Manohra Moon was launched in early 2000.

The Manohra Cruises offer a variety of Sunset and Dinner Cruises, with seating of 40 guests and are also available for private charters.

"Manohra Cruises" cater dinner and cocktail cruises on the Chao Phraya river, taking in vistas of famous Wat Arun, the Royal Grand Palace and the Boathouse of the Royal Barges. The boats depart from the Manohra Cruises pier, located on the river frontage of the Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa.
