The Grand Palace is Bangkok’s most iconic landmark, featuring ornate temples, golden spires, and intricate Thai architecture. Once the royal residence, it now stands as a symbol of Thailand’s rich history. At night, its illuminated golden rooftops shine beautifully, creating a stunning sight from the cruise along the Chao Phraya River.
Wat Arun, or the Temple of Dawn, is a stunning landmark in Bangkok, located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. Its central tower, adorned with intricate porcelain, stands tall at 70 meters. In the evening, the temple lights up, creating a breathtaking view, especially from a river cruise. The illuminated temple reflected on the water offers a picturesque scene, making it a must-see spot for visitors.
ICONSIAM is a large shopping mall in Bangkok, located by the Chao Phraya River. It features luxury stores, dining, and entertainment options. At night, the mall is beautifully lit up, offering a vibrant atmosphere. The riverside view is stunning, and the mall often hosts light shows and events, making it a popular spot for both shopping and enjoying the evening.
Asiatique The Riverfront is a popular open-air mall in Bangkok, located along the Chao Phraya River. From a boat, you can enjoy the view of the large Ferris wheel, the brightly lit shops, and restaurants lining the river. The colorful lights and lively atmosphere make it a great place to enjoy the night from the water.
The Rama VIII Bridge is a Bangkok landmark, with golden cables elegantly fanning from its towering pylon, showcasing a modern and grand design. At night, it glows brilliantly under the lights, and from the cruise, its golden reflection on the river creates a breathtaking view against the city’s nightscape.

Not recommended for those who don’t speak Thai as the staff working the check in desk do not speak English. We followed the instructions exactly as followed and the first employee told us go upstairs upon showing her our virtual and email confirmation. Finally went to another employee at the stand and she took the confirmation verified our names & provided us w/ stickers. This operator does not even market to a Western clientele or serve anything decent re: the buffet. The servers were extremely kind, and the show was very Bangkok. Great opportunity to capture some amazing views .. just don’t expect to eat w/ the unruly crowd rushing a subpar buffet. For what we paid the show and pictures we captured were worth it, Also beware it’s quite a distance away from the Central Park area if you are staying anywhere near there.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re sorry for the confusion during check-in and the language barrier you experienced. We appreciate your comments regarding the service, buffet, and location, and we will share your feedback with the operator to help improve the experience.
On the day I attended, there were many customers and the food (Buffet) was crowded. I wasn't expecting much of the taste because it was a buffet, but in a good way it was disappointing. Many of the customers are Thai and Thai songs are often played. If you're going on this cruise, I suggest you be brave enough to get up on stage. It costs a little bit, but it makes good travel memories ^-^ It's a bit different from cruises arriving and departing from Icon Siam, Asiatique, etc.
Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear you found the cruise great value and enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and unique experience.
Even If you are a non Asian speaker you can still enjoy this dinner cruise with a couple of exceptions. Food was out about 20 minutes after seating and announced in an Asian language; just pay attention to groups starting to get up & make a dash for the food too! There was plenty of it & a large variety so grab a couple of plates before they clear it all away; the drinks we paid for probably had alcohol in them but I couldn’t really tell; the entertainment was really lame, silly really. Bunch of pretty boys & girls strutting around with seemingly no rhyme or reason. Sitting 20 feet away from speaker was no great thrill & the woman singer was obnoxious, off key & painfully loud. Other than that it was enjoyable, seeing the Wat Arun lit up from the river was great!
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your honest comments and are glad you enjoyed the river views, especially Wat Arun. Your feedback regarding the food service and entertainment has been noted and shared with the operator.
My wife and I really enjoyed the cruise. You see so many sights you sail past, and they are beautifully lit. The food was good and plentiful and the waiters were really attentive. The entertainment was fun! The singer has a great voice and we enjoyed listening to her. The dancers/ models are a bit kitsch, but it was still a laugh watching them strut their stuff and entice people to have a photo with them!
Thank you so much for your review. We’re really glad you and your wife enjoyed the cruise, the night-time views along the river, and the buffet with attentive service. Happy to hear you liked the live singer and even had a laugh with our dancers/models as well — they do love bringing some extra fun to the evening. Hope to welcome you back on the Chao Phraya next time you’re in Bangkok.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food, entertainment, and attentive service. We’d be delighted to welcome you again on your next trip!
A well organised night, the food was amazing, the beer was ok, they pre pour with ice so it was flat, but we asked for fresh and no ice and this wasnt a problem. The entertainment was ok, ladyboy show and male dancers, but it was all about money for them if you wanted a picture with the ladyboys or the boys it cost everytime and they go round the tables trying to get you you to have pictures! We didn't and it was fine to refuse. Saw some sights along the river, overall good fun , good food and lots of laughs

Great experience! Very fun and exciting! Great entertainment they are very passionate. Saw other boats going past, ours seem to be having the most fun. Food was good, good variety and tasty. 10/10 would recommend this cruise over others. Side note not relevant to cruise -Take mosquito spray to use while waiting on the dock seating area between check in time and boarding. I was devo I had forgotten ours. Don’t be like me.
Thanks so much for the awesome review! We’re thrilled you had such a fun time on the cruise and loved the food. Great tip about the mosquito spray too noted!
