CRUISE
DESCRIPTION:
Conceived with comfort and style to the forefront,
Montha's distinctive upper deck sets her apart from
other boats on the river. The lounge and dining areas,
designed like a garden pavilion with light ornate
balustrade, afford uninterrupted views of the river. The
decorative teak ceiling features a traditional ceiling
fan to supplement the river breezes, adding to the
tropical Old World atmosphere.
When required, closing the discreet but extensive
windows reveals the lounge-dining area to be in fact a
glass walled room. This unique feature of 'Montha' not
only protects guests from occasional nuisance insects
but also allows the modern air-conditioning system to
provide comfortable climate control during the monsoon
season, (July to October), which brings high humidity
and brief periods of torrential rainsqualls. Cane
furniture and carefully selected drapes complement the
decor, giving an intimate homely atmosphere. Digital
satellite television, 5.1 surround sound DVD and an
excellent 'Bose' sound system are provided to enhance
your personal enjoyment. Specially commissioned,
hand-painted crockery, subtle lighting and exotic
scenery makes this the most comfortable and elegant
living or entertaining venue on the river.
Sliding glass doors provide access to the Open Front
Deck; this area is protected from sun and rain whilst
allowing close contact with the life along the river and
its ever changing scenery. Here is a restful spot to
enjoy breakfast, afternoon tea, evening cocktails, or
simply to laze and watch the passing parade. For special
occasions, silk drapes adorn the deck's pillars, and the
area takes on the impression of an Ayutthaya period
pavilion; making an impressive focal point to welcome
your guests on board.
A modern Western styled kitchen located on the mezzanine
deck, towards the vessel's stern, caters for a wide
variety of cuisines. Menus can be arranged to suit
individual dining requirements. Mindful that although
visitors delight in Thai cuisine, sometimes a Western
meal is appreciated; a Christmas goose, Thanksgiving
turkey, or perhaps just a simple roast dinner. In
addition, our kitchen can prepare home-made pizzas, and
freshly baked bread; not to mention a full selection of
traditional Thai dishes and other international cuisine.
The aft deck provides a peaceful out of the way spot
where a guest can read a book, drop a fishing line over
the stern, or simply enjoy an icy beverage whilst
watching Montha's wake disappear into the distance.
A wide gently sloping staircase leads below decks to the
air-conditioned saloon. Here leadlight windows and more
solid golden teak panelling greet the guest. In addition
the walls and doors have panels intricately hand carved
in a French colonial pattern which the Thais call 'Louis
Style'. This cabin serves as a multi-function room,
which can be configured as a sitting room, extra
sleeping accommodation or an office. The room can be
provided with a convertible divan, children's bunks, or
office furniture, to suit the guests' requirements.
Likewise the storage area can be arranged as a computer
station, wardrobe, or stationery cupboard.
Opening off this room is a bathroom with shower, hand
basin, toilet, hair drier and international shaver
outlet.
Forward of the saloon, the main stateroom continues the
same teak decor, with the panels reflecting the original
barge construction. This spacious room features a king
size bed, separate bathroom and elliptical windows that
frame the river views. Remote control air-conditioning,
generous cupboards, telephones, digital satellite
television, 5.1 surround sound DVD, and a safety deposit
box, exceed the facilities that would be expected in a
five star hotel suite.
