Thailand · CHAO PHRAYA RIVER CRUISES
20 reviewed
The river is the coolest place in Bangkok after six, and the only angle from which Wat Arun and the Grand Palace read properly once the floodlights come on. Below are the best Chao Phraya cruises: which boats serve a real dinner and which run a buffet, which have live music, where each one boards, and what the hop-on-hop-off pass is worth if you would rather treat the river as transport.

“For our last night in BK I booked dinner & an evening cruise on the Meridian. Everything was well-organised and we were really impressed with the boat, the view from our table and the selection of food. The entertainment was ok and there was no ‘guide’ but that didn’t detract from what was a lovely evening on the river. The views are great and the whole evening was excellent value for money. Highly recommend!”

2-hour Chao Phraya buffet dinner on Viva Alangka with seafood and Thai dancing, plus sunset or night cruise options from Asiatique.
“Finding departure point was easy enough by taxi. Boarding was efficient. Was a little disappointed to be right at the back, second last table, which meant we were a long way from the floor show. I had booked this dinner cruise to see the traditional dancers and we were so far back it wasn’t a good view at all. Particularly annoying when there were empty tables a lot closer. Performers came out among the audience afterwards but didn’t come up our end. Buffet was good, although not so much for me as I don’t eat seafood but there was still enough for me to have a decent meal. As others…”

“Pearl cruise too expensive. There’s other cheaper options available. Also there’s not much food varieties available. So not worth the price u pay for”
Cruise Bangkok’s Chao Phraya from Icon Siam with a modern buffet dinner, dessert, and live entertainment, plus night views of top landmarks.
“The atmosphere was really good, the food as well, and the entertainment too. I wouldn’t change it but if there is one improvement maybe including one complimentary drink or including one photo by someone from the crew.”
