We enjoyed our dinner cruise. It was a lovely night to be cruising on the river and to see the sites along the water lit up.
We were picked up by our driver and taken to the boarding place and only had to wait a short time to board the boat. The entertainment was great - we thought the band was first class and the dancers were very graceful. Unfortunately, from where we were sitting we could only see their backs.
Also the food was plentiful and with a wide choice.

Loved the fact that pickup and drop off from our guest house was provided especially as it was 45 minute ride in heavy Bangkok traffic. Good value for food and music. There was enough vegetarian choices for our needs. Great opportunity for taking night scenes, especially as key buildings have appropriate lighting. Needed low light setting on cameras. Crew encouraged passenger participation in dancing to old classics pop songs from Carpenters, Elvis , La Bamba etc

Food was good. Music was good, until later in the evening when it got louder and louder. Ducked out on the lower deck for a quieter experience. Great way to see the river lights at night.

Our guide was very knowledgeable. We highly recommend this canal tour. Riding in the long tail boat was a highlight of our trip to Bangkok.

Absolutely Must Do. You get stunning view of all major sights when they light up in the night. Fire Works at the end of the cruise are awesome. The best part of this cruise for us was the live Band. Really got most people on board to Shake a leg. All in all it became a big party for all on board from old to young and kids ( we had two with us). Food Spread was good. There were many other cruise happening on the river but i felt every body was looking at our boat as it seemed we were having more fun.

It was raining heavily when we boarded the boat but this quickly passed and the crew were able to roll up the sides to enable us to get a great view along the river. The food was plentiful and there was lots of choice. Enjoyed the national dancers and music was not too loud that you couldn't chat. The highlight of the evening was because we were in Thailand during the Songkran water festival we were all given a small water pistol whilst the crew had the pump action ones and then the fun began.. Got wet but was great to see everyone take part and because of the earlier rain we had a ready supply of water by draining it from the canapy puddle above so were well able to hold our own. Altogether a great night was had and it was lovely to see the grand palace and other places of interest lit up along the way.

The cruise was nice seeing Bangkok at night. The buffet was disappointing though- typical cafeteria food.

This was my favorite of 33 day trip. Pick up on time, food plentiful and mix of western and Thai and very good. Highlight was the entertainment. Beautiful singers, great choice of music, even 2 did Thai dances. We joined in the dancing and line dance going by the most fantistic views on the river. Just great!

We had a lovely time on this tour. With only 4 people plus the guide it was great to not have to share the guide with to many people. The small alley ways that we went down within the local housing was fascinating and all the people were so friendly when we went past. The different aspects of Bangkok we covered was extensive and the scenery/views were fabulous. Highly recommended to not only tourists but expats as well.

The Food was a Buffet and of good Quality and volume along with the Entertainment on board which were Singers,Dancers and D.J.
We feel it was well worth the money and we really enjoyed the Experience!
