Traveljunkieindonesia.com – Hello travel junkies, VIP member come this way…

I had to say “YES YES YES!” when Holiday Inn Express Bangkok Siam invited me to visit the Loy Krathong Festival (Thaland’s Festival of Light) on the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok – Thailand.

I know I’ve been to Thailand a number of times but I’ve always wanted to go the Thailand-speaking side to brush up on my beginner Thai skills.

Never did I imagine that we would ‘run our hands’ through the dark river at night.

Fantastic Bangkok city light, gold of temples, glorious, tropical weather, good food, good music, lots of friendly people and wonderful the Loy Krathong Festival.

I had lots of fun nonetheless.

Special thanks to the Grand Chaophraya Cruises, luxury 5 star cruises on the chaophraya river for treating us this trip we were incredibly lucky to take, and will never, ever forget.

Our amazing cruise, was designed modern, simply, and luxury.

The food on the cruise was beyond.

A buffet that makes the mouth water, ranging from authentic Thai food to popular international cuisines.

Everything was super perfectooo.
