AKE - Noi River Kayak Descent

This group lists six (6) kayak tracks along the Noi River, an old stretch of the Cha0 Phraya River. The original Chao Phraya (now referred to as the Chao Phraya Noi) flowed west of its present course beginning just north of the Chai Nat Dam and running via Sankha Buri and Phrom Buri to Ang Thong. The river breached a wall in its western bank near Ang Thong running to Bang Sai via Wiset Chai Chan, Phak Hai, and Sena - this is at present the course of the Noi River. The Chao Phraya between Chainat and Ang Thong silted up and shifted to the east to nearly its present channel via In Buri and Sing Buri to Ang Thong; the river was deviated in 1857 to the city of Ayutthaya.

Ayutthaya Kayaking Experience [AKE] is a sporting branch of Ayutthaya Historical Research [AHR]. AKE’s objective is to promote kayaking tourism in Ayutthaya, by having a kayak presence on canals and rivers.

Kayaking is the perfect outdoor recreation to explore the city island contours and its surroundings. Any visitor to Ayutthaya - with some kayaking experience or enough sportive stamina - interested in kayaking with AKE is welcome.
