The Chaopraya River cruise was excellent! There were awesome views of the iconic landmarks in Bangkok with spectacular photo opportunities. The food was delicious as well.

Nice river views but SO loud the entire voyage! Could barely talk with my friend, and music was nonstop. It would have been nice to have had some quieter moments at times. Definitely is a party boat! Food was ok, staff were friendly. But don’t book if you’re looking for a quiet, romantic river tour.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the river views and our friendly team, but we are sorry the music was too loud for your preference during the cruise. While this boat is known for its high-energy 'party' atmosphere, our onboard team is always happy to help. For future trips, please don’t hesitate to tell the staff if the volume is too high—they are often able to lower it in specific areas or move you to a quieter section of the deck to ensure you are comfortable. We appreciate your honest review as it helps other travelers choose the right 'vibe' for their evening. Best regards, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)

We had a brilliant night. The staff were excellent and the food was delicious. The singers were great and we had a good laugh dancing towards the end. Highly recommended. The only criticism is that we weren’t told how or where to check in and there was a lot of confusion.

Dinner cruise along Chaophraya river, Delicious dinner, lively performances, and stunning river views, capped off perfectly with spectacular New Year’s Eve fireworks! Our agent had booked everything, which made it seamless. Tip: After midnight, traffic was terrible — our driver took 2 hours to pick us up, and many taxis couldn’t get through loads of local people and tourist had to walk long distance. I’d recommend staying nearby if you plan a cruise dinner and fireworks on New Year’s Eve.
Dear Meili14, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled that the New Year’s Eve cruise lived up to your expectations with delicious food, lively performances, and that spectacular fireworks display—there truly is no better way to ring in the New Year than from the river. We are also very happy to hear that our booking process made everything seamless for you. Our goal is to handle the logistics so you can focus entirely on the celebration. Thank you also for sharing such a valuable tip regarding the post-midnight traffic. New Year's Eve is the busiest night of the year in Bangkok, and as you noted, the crowds and road closures can make transportation a challenge. Your advice to stay in a nearby hotel is excellent "pro-traveler" advice for anyone planning to join us for future countdown events! We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another celebration in Thailand soon. Warm regards, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)

It’s clear that they care about their customers and work hard to provide a pleasant experience. Everything met my expectations, and in many ways, it exceeded them. I would definitely recommend this place to others looking for reliable service and a great overall experience. I would be happy to visit again in the future.

I loved everything, the food, the organization and the willingness of the organizing staff and the one who was on board to make us feel super special and comfortable. Excellent food and tour.
Ola nohora, Muchas gracias por su maravilloso comentario. Nos alegra saber que le encantó todo — desde la comida y la organización, hasta la amable y atenta disposición de nuestro personal, tanto a bordo como detrás de escena. Nos llena de satisfacción saber que se sintió especial y cómodo durante todo el recorrido. Nos enorgullece que haya disfrutado de la excelente gastronomía y del hermoso paseo por el río Chao Phraya. Será un placer darle la bienvenida nuevamente para otra experiencia inolvidable. Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)
Food buffet a bit of a shambles....mad rush to get food even though there was sooo much of it. Some organisation would be nice. Staff really good. Entertainment good but on this occasion I think it was the Mexican guests that made it fun. The DJ's music choice got everyone dancing. Musician was great...Thailands own Kenny G.
Dear Salen, Thank you for sharing your review. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the entertainment, live music, and great atmosphere on board! We’ll certainly pass on your compliments to the staff and musician. We’ve also noted your comments about the buffet service — it can get lively when there’s such a large variety of food, but we’ll share your feedback with the team to improve the organization for future cruises. Thanks, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)
Entertaining night, staff were great and the view was good. Food selection was ok and the drinks were reasonably priced considering your on a cruise.

Among the seas of dinner cruises offered, I settled on this company and took advantage of the discounted tickets. We had great time. The food was decent nothing outstanding, menu for most diets. Note: The beverages are cost extra. There was entertainment onboard and dancing. The cruise along the river, was the highlight , seeing the Grand palace and temple spires lit up. A beautiful sight to see. Yes, towards the end of the trip. The staff will line up and hope you give some tip money. It’s entirely up to you!
Dear Rogeric, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear you had a great time onboard and enjoyed the evening cruise along the river — the illuminated Grand Palace and temple spires truly are a magical sight. We appreciate your feedback on the food and entertainment, and it’s great to know the menu catered to different diets.
