We have just returned (last night) from a truly fantastic experience on the Manohara river cruise and I wanted to share the experience. The river boat is beautiful and has (about) 10 or so tables meaning that there can only be a maximum of about 20-30 people; there were about 15 or so on our 8.30pm dinner. Staff were charming, friendly and super-attentive without being overpowering. The dinner was a 7 course set menu of Thai cuisine and each course was served on porcelain with style and panache. The food was delicious and the portions were perfect in that you were able to appreciate each course without feeling over-full. We had the “free flow” wine/beer option which was a great choice; very good quality wine served generously. The setting is stunning and we were lucky in that the weather was perfect. All in all we would recommend this cruise without hesitation. One hint if, like us, you are staying in central Bangkok (we were at the Shangri la) then allow a decent time for the taxi as the traffic was very busy.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your fantastic experience. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the intimate setting, attentive service, and that the beautiful surroundings made your evening even more memorable. We also appreciate your helpful tip about allowing extra time for travel from central Bangkok, which will be useful for future guests. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another exceptional cruise in the future. Best Regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team
The experience, the food, was satisfying, but both Anantara's pick-up and drop-off boat and boarding start were an hour late. Both the reservation and voucher were at 17:00, but it started at 18:00. This will be the third time that Manohla has My schedule went awry.
