An extraordinary dining experience not to be missed, Baan Khanitha Cruise is another brainchild of Khanitha Akaranitikul, a Thai silk fashion designer and owner of the renowned, award-winning Thai restaurant ‘Baan Khanitha’. Occupying an antique rice barge, Baan Khanitha Cruise allows you to indulge in an excellent selection of authentic Thai dishes while soaking up spectacular views along the majestic Chao Phraya River.

Bangkok was ranked a top tourism destination by Master Card Global Destination Cities Index in 2017. One of the reasons that attracts many international tourists to visit Bangkok is Thai food and Baan Khanitha is second to none when it comes to Thai food.

Baan Khanitha Cruise

Baan Khanitha was born out of Khanitha Akaranitikul’s innate passion for Thai food. As it was difficult for her to find a Thai restaurant with high-quality food in a traditional atmosphere, she decided to open her own restaurant Baan Khanitha on Sukhumvit Soi 23, aiming to bring her personal expectations for cuisine, cleanliness, service, and décor to any discerning diners. And with its popularity among foreigners and locals alike, there are now many other branches across the city.

This newly-refurbished cruise ship is well-equipped with a 5-star hotel standard kitchen, along with the main dining area on the deck which can accommodate up to 60 patrons.
