A wonderful cruise at a great price!
We had such a great time on the White Orchid Dinner Cruise! The boat had a really fun and lively vibe, with music, dancing, and some great live performances. The buffet had lots of options with free beer and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Cruising along the river at night was just beautiful — seeing all the city lights and famous landmarks was a real highlight. It was a lovely way to spend the evening in Bangkok, and we’d definitely do it again! Thanks to Ms Mint for our great outdoor seats

Different experience
Party atmosphere, but with plenty of people. We didn't have much time to enjoy the landscapes because the dinner and the party made us "left" from the outside environment. For those who like party and advisable.
Operator response

It’s definitely a great choice for those who love music, dancing, and a festive evening in Bangkok. We understand that with all the fun, it’s easy to get caught up in the moment and miss some of the beautiful views outside — but we hope the overall experience was still memorable. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you on board again in the future!

WORST TRIP YOU CAN TAKE, DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
Dont take this trip, worst thing you can do! We were placed at lower deck and there was the worst smell ever + it’s buffet and looked terrible!!. We jumped off immediately after we saw this.
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Operator response
Dear Guest,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience on the White Orchid Dinner Cruise did not meet your expectations.
After checking, please can you advise us; 1) Why have you never told your waiter you wanted to move. 2) Why did you not request the upper deck at booking 3) Why have you not brought this up to our office or told any staff on the night ?
We understand how disappointing it must have been, and we deeply regret the issues you described regarding the seating and buffet however before advising others not to book, you need to allow the cruise an opportunity to solve problems not leave a review without any proof.
Your comments have been noted and will be shared with the cruise operator
Thanks,
Paul

Disappointing and instructions poor.
We lucked out with fireworks over the river but ….. for our last night in Bangkok it was a bit disappointing. Stressful finding ticket collection point - instructions on documentation. It very clear. Quieting for the Boat - not clear !!!! No information . What can only be described as ‘fight for survival’ to get food. No choice of inside or outside seating with booking. Not my a window so couldn’t see anything. Just a lack of information. But we got to see the fireworks and found a fun place to sit as Asiatique for drinks before the boat. Such a shame - we are not serial whingers !!! We usually have a great experience with out Viator bookings.
Operator response
Dear jobudd,
Thank you for your review and your honest feedback about the White Orchid Dinner Cruise. While we’re thrilled you enjoyed the fireworks and found a fun spot at Asiatique before boarding, we’re sorry to hear that parts of the experience didn’t meet your expectations.
We understand how important clear instructions are, but my team sent you an email with instructions and a link. We regret any inconvenience caused by the seating arrangements but please request this next time and happy to assist.
Thank you for giving us a chance, and we hope to provide a smoother and more enjoyable experience if you decide to sail with us again
Thanks,

Excellent cruise to see the city by night.
Dazzling lights and the colourful view of the city by night was fabulous and most memorable. Viator as a leasure agency has demonstrated high level of proficiency in the presentation of the product and has shown efficiency in coordinating the ticket sale.
Some constructive concerns in the hope for attention:
The vessel lacked luster and eligence for international market.
There was a serious negligence on client safety on the top deck. The visitors were left to selfe awareness of the fatal violation of the head clearance when boat is passing under the bridge structure. There is serious lack of due diligence to the personnel safety. From a personnel safety point of view, exposure of visitors to the prospects of a fatal injury is unacceptable. There are many factors that can contribute to the visitors missing the call to duck down when passing under the bridge. There is loud music, there is inadequate lighting, there is lack of awareness in the midst of celebration.
Thank you for your attention to this safety issue.
Blessings to all in Christ.
Dr Rodger Sukh
Operator response
Dear Dr Sukh,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the dazzling lights and colorful views of the city by night, and we appreciate your recognition of Viator's proficiency in coordinating the experience.
However, we take your concerns about safety very seriously. Your comments regarding the top deck's head clearance under bridges, combined with distractions like loud music and inadequate lighting, are important. Safety is a top priority at the white orchid, and we agree that any risks to our guests must be addressed with utmost urgency. However in this case, we do not agree with your views. White Orchid has been operating for a number of years and the proper measures are taken to enhance safety and prevent any potential hazards.
We appreciate your insights
Thanks,
