Fun evening
The evening cruise and buffet was great. A little pushing when buffet started and people crowding for beer! The entertainment was great and the crowd got going. Could have kept going as lots of fun!

Smile supper cruise
We enjoyed and would do again. The entertainers really got the crowd going and was upbeat. The only issue was when buffet opened it was very crowded and people pushy going to get food and beer.

Worth every penny!
Our hotel concierge booked this for us and we couldn’t have been happier! Everyone had their own table. The buffet was amazing and constantly restocked. Beer was included which was a pleasant surprise. We couldn’t see the entertainment from our seats, which was fine as we were busy admiring the scenery. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour!

I had a great time on the board! The buffet had lots of tasty food like seafood, pasta, and desserts. The view from the top deck was amazing—we saw temples, bridges, and the lights of Bangkok at night. There was live music and Thai dancing, which made it fun and special. The staff were kind and helpful, and everything went smoothly. I really enjoyed this dinner cruise and would tell anyone visiting Bangkok to try it.

Disappointing buffet
lovely boat & great entertainment but by the time we got to the buffet the food was cold & the best dishes gone . The operator could improve the experience by ensuring dishes are kept hot & the food replenished so that passengers at the back of the queue enjoy the same food as those at the front . Another disappointment was the extortionate price charged for some drinks , 1,800 for a bottle of wine !
