Chao Phraya Cruise (Seafood Buffet)

What is the Chao Phraya dinner cruise with seafood buffet?

This Chao Phraya dinner cruise is a two-hour evening sailing on Bangkok’s main river. The boat sets off after dark, when the city’s best-known landmarks are lit up along both banks. Dinner on board is an unlimited buffet of Thai and international food with a large seafood selection. It is a relaxed, seated evening that works well for couples, families and older travellers.

Which Bangkok landmarks will you see from the river?

As the boat glides along the Chao Phraya, you pass the floodlit Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun), the Grand Palace, Rama VIII Bridge and the ICONSIAM riverside mall. Each one looks very different at night than it does by day, and the river gives you an uninterrupted view of all of them.

What food is served on the buffet?

The buffet is unlimited and centres on seafood, alongside Thai and Chinese dishes. Vegetarian options are available too. A welcome drink is served when you board.

Upper deck or lower deck: where should you sit?

You can use both decks during the cruise. The open-air upper deck is the place for photos and the cool river breeze. The air-conditioned lower deck is more comfortable on a warm night, and it is where the live music plays.

Prefer Indian food on your cruise?

If you would rather have an Indian menu, take a look at the Chao Phraya Cruise Princess (Indian Food) on Tourastic, which sails the same river in the evening.
