Enjoyable Dinner Cruise on the Chao Phraya River

If there's one thing, among many others, that you shouldn't miss to do during your trip in Thailand is experience a dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya River.

Don't you think that everything becomes much more romantic and different when you sail on the water with your loved one(s)?

You can feel a certain kind of freedom, you can also feel that every thing is an experience.

Experiencing a dinner on the Chao Phraya River will make you sail on the waters of time on which you'll have the priviledge to admire Thailand's finest architecture dating from Rattanakosin's era:

the Grand Palace, Wat Arun (or the Temple of Dawn) and a few other stunning temples and homes.

At night, Your amazement will even be greater for the main places of attractions are lit up.

Another reason to give a try to a dinner cruise is that, on board, you'll be served very traditional Thai dishes accompanied by the show of just as traditional music players and dancers.

It definitely is a very unique experience to live, that's why I recommend it to everybody.

Tips

-  If you're ready to dine aboard a ship that proposes this service (dinner cruise), make sure that the company has a website you can rely on to check if tables are available, to compare the prices...

-   For Bangkok residents, I advise you to directly go to Queen Sirikit National Convention Center because it is the place where you can find tickets at the most reasonable price (in most cases).

-   Aboard, the lunch buffet is almost always cheaper than the dinner buffet.

-   Some companies sell packages. For example : Bangkok-Ayutthaya cruise (get more details from the company)

Price

Price varies according to the number of customers but you can reasonably count on a ticket price costing from 600 to over 1000 bht  per person.
