Designed and built by interior designer
Kathleen Heinecke, the Manohra Song features warm teak, padua and
mahogany woods throughout, custom-designed furniture covered with colorful
Thai silks and cottons, oriental rugs, Thai and Southeast Asian art,
sculpture and artifacts. Many of the accessories selected have been made
by the people living along the rivers and klongs (canals) of
Thailand, as well as in some of the more remote areas.
“Some of the crafts are quite
sophisticated and fine, while others are more folk items that have been
used by the Thai people for generations,” explained Heinecke, CEO of
Polygon Designs.
“We wanted to reflect and re-create in a
small way, some of the many early European influences that were embraced
and encouraged by King Rama V. These resulted in a good marriage of the
styles of the time, both Thai and foreign, mixing local carving expertise
with the sumptuous fabrics – many of them made from Thai silks and
cottons, patterns and colors,” she added.
Manohra Song is staffed by an
experienced and attentive crew of four including a Chef presenting the
finest traditional Thai cuisine for lunch and dinner.
A variety of custom-planned cruises are
available, including the regularly scheduled two night – three day
“Ayutthaya Adventure”. Stops along the way include Wat Bangna and the
unique Wat Nivat. There is also a tour of the fabulous Summer Palace
complex at beautiful Bang Pa-In. In Ayutthaya, there is time to explore
the 17th century historical ruins, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, ride
an elephant and do a little shopping.
The Chao Phraya River itself offers a
never-ending vista of vignettes: temples, log-rafts, barges, long-tail
boats, houses, palaces; and above all, the friendly, happy people who are
never too busy to wave at visitors cruising aboard Manohra Song

generations, the Traditional Thai Massage is a blend of deep tissue
massage using pressure points and stretching techniques. It releases
tension, increases vitality and flexibility and creates wholeness of
mind, body and spirit. Recommended for those who prefer a firm

Reflexology is based on the
belief that the body contains constantly flowing energy or “Chi”
which unites with the reflex points of the feet. This specialized
foot massage assists in the relief of stress and tension, helps to
improve circulation, and fosters a restoration of the body’s natural
state of equilibrium.
