The Mercury Cruise Story
Mercury Cruise was founded to let visitors to Ayutthaya experience the Chao Phraya River at a slower, quieter pace — closer to its history.
Mercury Cruise is a private river experience inspired by Mercury, the ancient Roman messenger of the gods and patron of travel, exploration, and discovery.
Rooted in the timeless waterways of Ayutthaya, Mercury Cruise invites guests to journey beyond sightseeing, offering intimate encounters with history, culture, and the quiet beauty of life along the river.
With classic craftsmanship, thoughtful hospitality, and a spirit of exploration, every voyage is designed to transform travel into a meaningful experience.
Mercury Cruise embodies elegance in motion — where every journey reveals a deeper connection to place, people, and time.

- Standard life jackets for every seat

Captain & Crew
Our captains know the Ayutthaya stretch of the Chao Phraya intimately, ensuring safety while sharing stories from the river's history.
Pier
River Club Pier, Ayutthaya — with convenient parking and waiting area.
Two experiences, one river
Mercury River Club is a riverside club in Ayutthaya. Our pier sits on the Pa Sak River beside the waterfront restaurant Tarn Ayutthaya — round the island by water and the prangs of Wat Chaiwatthanaram rise ahead of you, from an angle no road can reach. From this one pier, two ways onto the river.
Mercury GT
A Sea-Doo GTX jet ski you ride yourself, by the hour. From 1,500 baht per 30 minutes. Never ridden before? Every ride begins with hands-on instruction at the pier until you are genuinely ready.
Explore Mercury GT →Mercury Cruise
A private charter boat for those who want the river slower, quieter, and entirely theirs. Bookings open November 2026.

Our safety is not a promise. It is a system that runs on every single ride — and one you can inspect yourself.
- Every ride is GPS-tracked live by our pier team. We know where you are the entire time you are on the water.
- A handlebar navigation display shows your riding zone, the way back to the pier, and an SOS button that reaches us instantly.
- Instruction before every departure — first-timers welcome — with life jackets and full equipment for everyone.
- Trust Ledger: we photograph each machine's condition before and after every ride, with damage prices published clearly in advance.
- Digital waivers are versioned and signed, every single one.
The whole system is open for you to read before you book.

Book online and get instant confirmation. You know the price before you reach the pier — no surprises later. Payment runs through secure channels, and everything works in five languages, from the booking page to the navigation display on the water.
Every review we show was requested from a real guest after their ride. We do not buy reviews, write them, or ask anyone who has not been on the water with us.
Our philosophy
Our luxury is not decoration. It is space. The whole river is yours — no mixed groups, no waiting, no sharing the view.
Ayutthaya was once a city the world sailed to. We simply take you back to see it the way it was always meant to be seen: from the water.
Before you board, read the river's stories — or simply talk to us first.
