★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 468 reviews · 2 hours · from $57

Spend two hours cruising the Chao Phraya River from ICONSIAM, with a Thai and international buffet, welcome drink, water, live bands, and views of Bangkok’s temples, Grand Palace, bridges, and waterfront.

“It was alright . Nice to see the temples by the riverside . But the boat ride itself was just so so. Nothing super fancy. I got the lower level not sure why or how. There was no option while booking to pick the upper level. Food was ok, not bad but nothing spectacular. The staff were super friendly and very courteous which was great. The boat itself was nice. But it was crowded and the boarding process was kinda chaotic . Standing randomly behind people with numbered signs and you’re not clearly told much.”

Set out from ICONSIAM at 6:30 pm for a roughly 2.5-hour Chao Phraya cruise with a Thai and international buffet.

“Attention pour obtenir le billet avec la réservation GYG , il faut se rendre au quai N°1 et non pas au quai N° 2 comme noté sur la réservation. L'ensemble de la croisière est assez plaisante , mais l'organisation du buffet est assez décevante. Une foule importante se précite au buffet, beaucoup sur-remplissent leur assiette, et si vous en fin de fil d'attente les gambas par exemple ne sont plus disponibles! Les cocktails Maï Taï sont à 350 Bahts c'est du jamais vu en Thaïlande ( Le juste prix va de 120 à 250 Bahts maxi) pour une qualité passable+ . Placés à l'arrière de l'orchestre , il est quasi…”
