Luxury River Cruise on the Chao Phraya

Luxury River Cruise on the Chao Phraya: Bangkok’s Most Stylish Way to Float Through History Bangkok is loud, chaotic, colourful, and gloriously intense. Tuk-tuks whizz past, street food sizzles on every corner, and traffic… well, traffic happens on its own timeline. Which is *exactly* why one of the most luxurious things you can do in the city is get **off the road and onto the river**. Enter the luxury Chao Phraya river cruise — Bangkok, but make it elegant. A River That’s Seen Everything (Including You in a Linen Shirt) The Chao Phraya River is the old, original thoroughfare of Bangkok. It has serviced royalty, religion, business, and now… you. Yes, you, with a beverage floating down the stream, and the golden spires and glass towers of the city. Therefore why not relax and enjoy the views as you float past the majestic Wat Arun and the Grand Palace, along with the other timeless riverside communities. It is a floating, seated, fully relaxed way to do it. No sweating, no standing, no queuing, no crowds. Just you and the good times. If you need help with your next event, incentive, meeting, conference or group to Thailand, please contact us! Five-Star Dining, Zero Effort…

Thailand Rethinks Its 60-Day Visa Free Stay

Thailand Rethinks Its 60-Day Visa Free Stay - So Don’t Unpack Just Yet If you were planning on turning your two-month Thai getaway into an extended “find yourself” sabbatical, you might want to hold off on booking that third coconut latte. The Thai government has just announced that it’s reassessing its 60-day visa exemption — the very same one that’s been making life a little sunnier for travelers since July 2024. No need to panic (yet). Nothing’s changing today. But officials are openly wondering if maybe, just maybe, 60 days of visa-free beach life was a little too generous. What’s Going On On October 24, Thailand’s Department of Consular Affairs held a meeting with the Ministry of Tourism and Sports — chaired by Minister Atthakorn Sirilatthayakorn, who probably didn’t get a holiday either — to chat about the “impacts” of the 60-day policy. The goal? To “strike a balance between promoting tourism and enforcing immigration regulations,” which in plain English means: “We love tourists, but please stop pretending to be digital nomads forever.” The 60-day visa exemption currently lets citizens from 93 countries stay in Thailand for up to 60 days for tourism, business, or shor…

Thailand Introduces New Tourist Entry Tax

Thailand Introduces New Tourist Entry Tax After what feels like a saga of starts, stops, and backpedals, Thai officials are finally going forward with a much-talked-about entry tax for foreign tourists. So, if you’re planning a tropical escape to Thailand, you might want to keep an extra 300 baht handy—about the price of a street food splurge in Bangkok! This time, it’s not a drill; according to Thailand’s Tourism Minister, Sorawong Thienthong, this tourist tax will soon be real, ready to greet you with automated gusto, powered by Krungthai Bank. And while it might pinch your wallet a bit, it’s all in the name of sprucing up tourist sites and covering unexpected mishaps (think: monkey steals your sunglasses, and you trip in pursuit). Here’s the lowdown: if you’re arriving by air, you’ll pay 300 baht (around $8.50 USD). Coming by land? Lucky you—it’s a half-price affair at 150 baht ($4.25 USD). This new fee system, expected to roll out in about six months, could mean a little extra patience at the gate, but the goal is smoother-than-silk transitions. So, it’s time to brace for it and maybe factor it into your travel budget along with sunscreen and tuk-tuk money. What This Means…
