Scenic Bangkok Dinner Cruise with Decent Variety of Food.

One thing to note is that there was no option during booking (through Viator) to select your table or choose between the upper open-air deck and the air-conditioned lower or middle decks. Seating appears to be assigned, which can impact your overall experience depending on your preference for views, temperature, and proximity to the show.

Great experience on the river

Just a beautiful experience. If you are planning a dinner trip, you should book this trip. Big ship. Each visitor had been allocated a table, so there was no chaos. The buffet was varied and mega delicious and it was always replenished. Each floor had its own buffet, so there were no long lines at the buffet. There was live music and the waiters were very attentive and quickly cleared plates. Everything on the ship was neat and clean. Whole staff was friendly. We had a lot of fun and could take beautiful photos. Even with fireworks!

Nice cruise

Great dinner and great atmosphere. Very friendly staff, singer with a sublime voice, very nice choreography done by the waitresses, and then we danced until the fit of the ride, in song. I highly recommend it. Philippe
