Great wee trip - This was a great night. It was the first night of our holiday and a great way to start it off. The boat arrival was brilliant, music playing and the whole crew on deck, saluting as they welcomed everyone on board. The food was excellent, the entertainment first class, the band had the boat rocking. The sights at night are amazing, all lit up giving a different look to everything. Loved it.

Fully recommend, great cruise and food - A lovely cruise and wonderful food. Staff were attentive and the boat was very clean. You hardly feel you’re moving it’s very luxurious. Entertainment was great and live. Looking at the others on the same day we defo had the best boat on the water.

Great - The dinner cruise was an unforgettable experience! The food was both plentiful and absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Cruising along the water gave us a unique and stunning perspective of the city, especially as it lit up at night. The onboard entertainment was a real treat — the dancers were fantastic and added so much energy and culture to the evening. It was the perfect blend of great food, scenic views, and lively performance. Highly recommended!

Asian Tour 2025 - The dinner cruise was a joyful night to remember. We were introduced to a buffet diner that was delightfully good. The food taste great with a plethora of items to choose from. Nightly entertainment danced songs of old which included request from the audience. It was a grand experience that I will never forget.

Worth the time and money - Admittedly i didnt book via Trip Advisor, ended up paying slightly more for the same experience but not the end of the world. Hotel pick up, tradfic through the city was a bit mental but pleasant in a ac minibus. We arrived at River City with plenty time to spare and we could have a walk around the centres multiple floors just for a look. On board, ive read a few previous reviews and i think it depends on where you book/sit. We opted for open deck outdoors which give the best views and a cool breeze in the hot temperatures. Inside, yes they have live music, so if your table itls closer, its gonna be louder. There is also music coming from the top of the boat somewhere but i didnt explore. The food is nice, if you have an open mind and pallet. Remember youre in a foreign country that needs to cater for everyones taste. As long as youre not one of those "plate full of chips and tomato sauce" type of all inclusove holiday makers, you should find something here to like. There are seafood dishes, meat dishes, local thai tasty dishes aswell as salad and desserts. Dont be that guy, just try it, you might it. All in all a very pleasant cruise, chilled, and worth the money in my opinion, and thats all it is. You make of it what you will.

So close - You don't see everything depending on the tide. We missed seeing the GRAND PALACE because of the water levels but not for the want of trying the driver nearly got stuck under one of the bridges. What we did see was great,

Watch where the ride goes! - The food was so "well" but probably not better to expect with the cheap ticket I had. It is important to check out the planned route beforehand so that you don't make the same mistake as I did: we didn't drive to the city center with Wat Arun... Later we were entertained with singing, which in retrospect made us a really nice good mood.

Nice views and music only - The view was amazing and the music was good. However the food and drinks were not good for the price paid.
