Sitting on a replica of an ancient Thai cruise ship, as the ship swayed on the river, it felt like the royal family was on a patrol back then. Passing by important scenic spots such as Temple Arun and the Grand Palace, all the scenery is as novel as seeing it for the first time under the illumination of lights at night.
