Itinerary
Pass by: Iconsiam, is a mixed-use development on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand. It includes a large shopping mall, which opened to the public on 10 November 2018, as well as hotels and residences. Here is where you will depart for the Saffron Cruise.
The Holy Rosary Church, is a Roman Catholic Church built in 1769 by a resettlement of Portuguese Catholics and just further up is China Town which was founded in 1782.
Santa Cruz Church is another Catholic Church marking the legacy of Thai – Portuguese relations dating back to the 16th century. The Portuguese were the first Europeans in Thailand who were allowed to reside and trade in the country.
Guan Yu Shrine, a historic shrine of the god of war and faithfulness in ancient Chinese beliefs, is one of the first significant places that the boat will pass during the dinner cruise.
Just past the Rama VIII bridge is the Bank of Thailand Museum, which is housed in the Bang Khun Phrom Palace, the former residence of Prince Paribatra Sukhumbandhu, who was the 33rd son of King Chulalongkorn.
Of all 14 forts that were built over 200 years ago to protect Bangkok, only 2 are still standing, including Phra Sumen Fort. The original cannon can still be seen mounted on the upper battlement
The iconic and impressive bridge is a landmark in Bangkok. The cable-stayed bridge is a feat of modern Thai engineering and the best and closest way to see it is by cruising right underneath it.
Bangkok's famous palace complex was built in 1782 and features several magnificent buildings including Wat Phra Kaeo (Temple of the Emerald Buddha). At night the compound is illuminated by floodlights resulting in the golden tiled rooftops sparkling beauty.
This temple is considered to be the most famous and photographed temple in Bangkok, which features a soaring 70-meter-high spire decorated with tiny pieces of colored glass and Chinese porcelain. Under floodlights at night it is a jaw-dropping sight!

Recommend this trip
Confusing joining instructions - just stay on Pier 2 and someone will come to get you. You will enjoy
A memorable cruise through the best of Bangkok!
If you've never been to the Icon Siam Shopping Complex before, be sure to arrive at 1 hour before. It's like the Super Bowl, thousands of people, congested, complex, few speak English, and the boarding area is hard to find. However, the cruise is WONDERFUL! Once you board, the staff attend to your every need, are gracious, courteous, the food is delicious, and the few of the Icon Siam complex, King's Palace, and downtown Bangkok are fantastic! Avery memorable experience and we couldn't have been more pleased!
