Traveler reviews
Very good
Wonderful super duper nice recommend
Unforgettable dinner cruise
One unforgettable dinner cruise with family and friends. Did the sunset cruise with my family. The blend of the view with the music and sunset moment made the experience worthwhile. The dinner cruise with my friends was a blast. Dominated the dance floor! I wish they add pork grill or pork dishes to the buffet.
A Literal Sinkhole for Your Time and Money
If you are looking for a relaxing evening with great food and views, keep looking. The White Orchid Dinner Cruise was a disorganized, claustrophobic "tourist trap" that failed on almost every level. The Chaos Starts at the Pier The lack of organization is staggering. We waited in line for two hours, only to watch latecomers cut the entire queue and board ahead of us while staff did absolutely nothing. There is zero crowd control or respect for those who show up on time. Zero Comfort, Zero Privacy Once on board, don't expect a "romantic" or "private" dinner. The tables are packed so tightly together that you can’t move, let alone have a private conversation. It felt less like a cruise and more like being crammed into a cafeteria. The "Buffet" Mess The boat is so overcrowded that the buffet becomes a total free-for-all. It’s messy, loud, and stressful. To make matters worse, the food was mediocre at best. For a cruise in Bangkok, there was almost no Thai food available except for some basic Pad Thai. A Sensory Overload (In a Bad Way) The noise level is unbearable. Between the so called "singer" and the general lack of acoustics, the music is so loud you can’t even hear yourself think. The atmosphere was so hectic and noisy that it was impossible to actually enjoy the beautiful river views. The Bottom Line: Save your money and your sanity. This is a poorly managed operation that prioritizes volume over value. Avoid at all costs.
Ride purely for the views
As other reviews have said, the food was passable and the entertainment was okay-- there's so many people per boat that it gets quite loud and the buffet line gets hectic. The only reason to book this trip is the cruise -- which was quite a nice tour of a short segment of chaos praya river including the wat pho, wat Arun, and the grand palace. If there are cheaper boats you can take down the chao praya, do that instead of paying extra for this cruise and subpar food
Cruise Dinner on the Boat in Thailand prices is cheaper
I already going for dinner ,on the rooftop on the ship .Prices is 790 THB for 2hour Buffet.include beer and some alcohol ha hah so nice
