Bangkok--3 Mar--Francom Asia PR Luxury property developer Raimon Land has launched The River Boat, an exclusive 45-berth vessel to ferry potential investors and ultimately residents to Bangkok’s premier condominium project, The River. The River Boat represents a core asset among the value-added services provided to investors viewing show suites at the property, and subsequently, to residents of the prestigious condominium complex in Thonburi. Raimon Land commissioned Bangkok-based Siam Boatworks to construct a contemporary craft that matches The River’s concept of luxury living on the Chao Phraya River. The 18-metre modern launch cruiser, powered by two Volvo Penta engines, is decked out in Italian leather. Raimon Land Chief Executive Officer, Nigel J Cornick, said the vessel currently serves three purposes: sales, functions and branding. “The Bangkok skytrain is one of the most convenient ways to get to this area of the city and The River Boat will take people directly from the Saphan Taksin station to The River,” Mr Cornick said. In the future, the role of the vessel will be to enable residents to quickly and comfortably access riverside amenities and services such as transport, hotel restaurants, shops and schools. “The boat will eventually be controlled by the residents themselves, and they will decide where and what it can be used for. For a residential building on a waterway, a boat is essential to be able to experience ‘The River Lifestyle’.” Siam Boatworks Managing Director, Mr Ezio Salamone added The River Boat brought a new level of excellence and style to transportation on the famous waterway. “Among the shuttle boats operated by five-star hotels and condominiums along Chao Phraya, The River is the only one with air-conditioning, elevating it to the river’s most deluxe craft. “Constructing this boat to Raimon Land specifics was a labour of love and one of the key challenges was constructing a launch that would reach the same levels of luxury that the developer will reach with the exquisite The River development.” PRESS ENQUIRIES : Walaiklao Kumwong Raimon Land Public Relations C/O Francom Asia PR Tel: 02 233 4338 or 39 Fax: 02 236 8030 E-mail: [email protected] Kwanrudee Maneewongwatthana Vice President Communications Raimon Land PLC 22nd Floor, The Millennia Tower 62 Langsuan Road, Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330 Tel : +66 (0) 2651-9600 to 4 Fax : +66 (0) 2651-9614 E-mail : [email protected]
