Following this, the group will be escorted by Thai police through Bangkok’s lively city streets in a convoy of tuk tuk’s before arriving at an idyllic riverside restaurant. After indulging in an authentic Thai lunch, everyone will board a private rice barge and cruise the canals, enjoying the scenery with a cold beverage among friends.

    Partners and children will depart the hotel at 10.00 am and return at 3.15 pm – providing them with enough time to relax before ‘an evening in the Secret Garden of Bangkok!’
