Modelled on the iconic Pandaw II and originally called Pandaw III, the Tonle saw a year’s service in Burma in 2003 before being sent under tug-tow to the Mekong where she has done continuous service between Saigon and Kampong Cham ever since. Finished in rich Burmah teak, her gorgeous upper deck saloon, observation decks and formal dining room this ship is an old favourite and has a glowing ambience. In 2013 she was fully refitted and the number of cabins reduced to create a professional spa and library on the lower deck. In 2025 she was refitted and the 14 Tonle Suites were created out of the original 28 cabins recylcing the original Burmah teak panneling. The Tonle is not a small ship, but despite her size she has an ultra shallow draft of just over a meter and can usually get up river into low water areas when other vessels are stuck well below.
