Wat Kanlayanamit

Royal temple

Home to a 15-metre seated Buddha that blesses river travellers.

Romance

A river-table for two with the lights of Bangkok behind you and the golden prangs of Wat Arun ahead. Tell us it's a special night and we'll arrange the rest.

02

Food

All-you-can-eat international buffet — fresh seafood, Thai signatures, salads, mains, and a sweets table generous enough you'll skip dessert at the hotel.

03

Culture

Traditional Thai classical dance performed live on board as the city's most iconic landmarks glide past your window, one by one.

04

Music

Live duo singers every night — modern jazz, Thai classics, ballads, and the occasional surprise duet that gets the whole deck singing along.

The highlight of our Bangkok trip. We were treated like royalty from the moment we stepped aboard, with Wat Arun and the Grand Palace lit up along the way.

★★★★★

Attentive staff, superb entertainment and an amazing selection of food. Book the top deck — that's where the show is, and the skyline views are unobstructed.

Loved cruising the Chao Phraya — good food, great live music, and the lit-up buildings along the shore were absolutely spectacular. Would do it again.
