Bangkok Dinner Cruise Tickets

Bangkok Evening Activity Buffet Dinner Live Music Optional private hotel transfer

See Bangkok’s riverside landmarks at night while enjoying a buffet dinner and live entertainment on the Chao Phraya River.

Bangkok Beyond currently arranges tickets for:

Chao Phraya Princess
Wonderful Pearl

Both normally cruise for around two hours.

Our honest view: these are large, popular buffet cruises. They can be busy and lively, especially when the buffet first opens. Do not book one expecting a quiet fine-dining experience.

They are a good choice if you want an easy evening with river views, food and entertainment without arranging everything yourself.

You can book cruise tickets only or add a private two-way transfer.
