Experience a wonderful waterway adventure along Bangkok’s mystical Chao Phraya River. Home to such wonders as the grand Palace, Temple of Dawn and Bang Sai Royal Folk Arts & Craft Centre, Chao Phraya is best savoured via a Bangkok cruise tour. Of all the many options for Bangkok cruises culture buffs may enjoy sampling one of the Anantara Bangkok Cruises, which feature three-day cruises with a fascinating array of sights on the itinerary.

Among the many cultural delights available in one of Southeast Asia’s best tourist destinations, visitors might enjoy cheering or participating in a riveting game of Sepak Takraw, or “kick ball” (Sepak meaning “kick” in Malay, Takraw meaning “ball” in Thai). The two most famous teams in the sport are Thailand and Malaysia, and the name is a compromise of the sport that has risen to such prominence in the region. The game is an eclectic mix of football and volleyball, where teams of three attempt to spike the ball over a net using their feet. Originating in Southeast Asia, the sport has risen to international prominence and includes teams from all over the globe, including the US, Canada and Australia. Featuring exciting acrobatics as players of both sides attempt to toss the ball over the net, Sepak Takraw is a splendid spectacle of sports artistry for the whole family to enjoy!
