The experience

A two-hour dinner cruise past Bangkok’s illuminated riverside landmarks, with a rooftop deck built for clearer views.

This cruise runs a deliberately narrower rooftop than most three-deck river boats, so both banks of the Chao Phraya stay in clear view rather than receding into the distance — a considered difference for a route that passes Wichai Prasit Fort, Wat Arun, the Grand Palace and ICONSIAM within the same two hours. Each booking is seated at its own table rather than shared with other guests.

Dinner is an international buffet of more than thirty dishes, including seafood, salmon and beef steak, with free-flow soft drinks, tea and coffee; a vegetarian set menu is available on request. Live music and a traditional Thai dance performance run through the evening, and birthdays or anniversaries can be marked with a cake and song if flagged in advance.

Rooftop seating is the more requested option, though it must be booked ahead; if rain moves rooftop guests indoors, both the 1st and 2nd floor decks keep floor-to-ceiling river views, and rooftop access remains open in between showers for photographs.
