Touching back on the Ayutthaya province, I took a more extensive tour of the rides down the river and got it touch with the scenery a lot more. What a lot of groups do when they go there is rent a “rice boat” and stroll down the river (usually takes around half a day or a full day if you want to) and enjoy meals on there (prepared by yourselves, this is no restaurant) but what’s exciting is the atmosphere and the scenery.
But also, there are these rice boats that transformed into floating restaurants that anyone can go and eat as well, the menus are pretty similar, with normal dishes and seafood dishes as well, and the prices don’t vary so much (as far as I can tell)
These rice boats aren’t run down or anything like that, but they do have television and karaoke and even refrigerators in some of them.
Oh, instead of taking the rice boat as your means of transportation down the river, you can also take the ‘long tail boat’ which is a lot quicker and a lot smaller, so the trip will be more brief (though still takes up an hour or two of enjoying the scenery). If you’re pretty interested in traveling around this town (Ayutthaya) and all, the 7 Thailand wonders website (http://www.tourismthailand.org/7wonders/) has quite good resources and locations to travel and eat, so you can give it a try.
What you’ll get from these boat rides is seeing how people live along the river and enjoy the scenery of temples and ancient buildings and bridges along the river, if you haven’t done anything like this before, I highly suggest you do so.
Enjoy!
