Excellent cruise for the money

The boat was very clean and staff were very efficient. We sat on the B level ( recommended if it’s hot out). The buffet was large and a good variety, taste was average, but not bad. Beer was free but they should have larger glasses. After eating, we sat out on the bow for the rest of the trip for unobstructed views; get out there before the rush.

Good ride

I was disappointed we couldn't get the the The Grand Palace area which was the highlight of the ride due to the river water level. The food was good no bad.

Rivercruise with Grand Pearl is a MustDo

We used Grand Pearl the big ship for a wonderful river cruise. Even though I have been coming to Bangkok for 40 years I never did before. What a mistake! It was absolutely wonderful and impressive even though I know Bangkok nearly by heart. Everything was great, from boarding at River City, to being shown to the table, very attentive service and huge buffets of high quality on various floors. There is something for everybody. The view is great, especially now in Christmas time. Music on board made a very good atmosphere. There was also a Thai dance show (I don't like the Thai classical music, but that's my personal taste) However, this is a MUST DO in Bangkok. Please note: for Thai residents price is much cheaper than for tourists. So don't forget to tell when booking!
