Cruise with amazing sightseeing

ROXANADENISE_M, Aug 2022

Beautiful experience! Lovely food and animation from the crew and of course the amazing view! Totally recommended!!!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hi Roxan, Thanks for your kind words and we are thrilled you had a great night out on the dinner cruise, Regards, Nick

Cannot recommend this to...

JuanCarlos_J, Jul 2022

Cannot recommend this to anybody. It’s just a crappy buffet in a boat. Bad food, bad beer, bad shows.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Juan, I am sorry that you did not like this cruise. If you read all the previous reviews before yours, this is highly rated, highly praising the food and entertainment so in this case, all I can say this is down to your own personal taste. Please note that we sell more luxurious cruises in Bangkok like the Saffron, Manohra which may be to your liking. Regards, Nick

Irresponsible team

Subramanian_M, Jul 2022

We were left at riverfront and the boat receptionist didn’t pick up our phone .Totally disappointed with VIATOR

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Guest, Am I correct you were the client that went LATE to the meeting point for the boat which had left ? If so then the boat leaves the Pier at a specific time. If the clients are late, the boat will not wait as this is not fair to all the passengers that are on board. Its the responsibility of the clients to be on time. In fact we mention to all clients to arrive 30 mins early and to take into account Bangkok traffic. The phone line is open daily till 6pm BUT we also have an emergency number, all are which on your vouchers when booking. Finally may i add you can email Viator and the team will change the date if you miss the boat if space is available Regards, Nick

Amazing

katy_g, Jul 2022

Amazing experience! The boat was great and nicely decorated, the entertainment was great, views on the river were incredible and the staff were friendly and constantly topping your drink up! The food was also delicious!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hi Katy, We are thrilled you enjoyed the dinner cruise with us and thanks for taking the time to write a great review. Regards, Nick

Not what I was expecting

Shane_A, Jul 2022

Not what we were expecting. When I booked this, I thought it would be a romantic river cruise but I was wrong. The boat is way to crowded, it is extremely hard to get food due to the crowds. The food options are limited and not amazing, rice was clumped together and overall the food isn't that tasty. The experience is so loud due to large groups (which can't be controlled). But when the live entertainment begins this is where things go downhill. The entertainment is way too loud and long. When the entertainment finishes they go to your table basically begging for a picture and money, this isn't a good experience when you are eating. I understand they have to make money but going to the tables isn't nice or welcoming. The welcome drink also tastes like soap and isn't good. The best part of this experience is the free Chang beer. If you're looking for a more intimate and quiet dinner boat cruise this isn't the one. Maybe look else where and spend some extra money for a better experience. Overall a disappointing experience, the waiting staff are very friendly and kind.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hi Shane, Thanks for the review and we appreciate you taking the time. This dinner is cruise is at capacity most nights as the prices are the most reasonable on the river. I am not sure we agree with the food options are limited as there are over 40 stations of food on 2 sides of the boat. For the entertainment we have many positive comments but i will pass on this to the team to maybe lower the volume. We do sell other more higher end dinner cruises including the Saffron, Manohra and Wonderful Pearl, it really depends on the kind of food and entertainment that you are looking for, one example is buffets of table service etc. This is down to personal taste. Regards, Nick

So so only

ANG_H, Jul 2022

I feel that it is not really a good cruise maybedie to a group of locals very noisy, shouting and took all the food to the table and wasting it a last

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Ang, Thanks for the review but I am sorry that guests who seated near you were noisy but we cant control how much fun guests have or how much they eat. The waiters would be happy to move you to another table if you requested this, I hope that your evening was not spoiled, Regards, Nick

Good

Ken_M, Jul 2022

The food and entertainment was good! The ship left on time. There was enough space for us to sit down as a Couple. The staff was very efficient moving us around to our seat.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Ken, Thank you for your positive review and thanks for taking the time to visit the cruise while you were in Bangkok. Thanks for choosing IAsia Thailand, Regards, Nick

Classic Bangkok Cruise with amazing views

Sophie_B, Jul 2022

Exactly what you would expect from a tourist river cruise in Bangkok. We booked on for the views of the city and weren’t disappointed. It rained a lot as we were boarding but by the time we had eaten dinner inside the rain had cleared and we could go up to the top deck to see the sights. Be aware that even though the website still shows hotel pick up available, this won’t begin again until August apparently!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hi Sophie, Thanks for taking the time to submit your review and we are glad that you had a great time. Just to point out about the transfer, we have 2 options available. One is included with hotel transfer and the second is ticket only and you booked the ticket only. Regards, Nick

Umesh_C, Jun 2022

Cruising on a river was a new and pleasant experience. The outdoor ambience was fabulous. Sipping beer and having dinner under the sky was a beautiful experience.

Value for money

Louise_D, May 2022

A good experience. We saw all the key attractions on the river, lit up at night. The food is OK for the price. Nice entertainment on board. Friendly servers.

Response from Host, May 2022

Hello Louise, Thanks so much for taking the time to review the White Orchid River Cruise. It’s great you had time to cruise down the river and enjoy all the sites and sounds of the cruise. Regards. Nick

What a wonderful evening

Paul_D, May 2022

We have been coming to Thailand for decades and always stay by the river so we see the boat go past quite often but never experienced it. As it was my partners 65th birthday I thought I would add this as one of the 3 days events. What a wonderful of evening with a very tasty running buffet and very good entertainment, it’s a must if your in Bangkok.

Response from Host, May 2022

Dear Paul, We do appreciate your five star review. Thank you for finally taking a river cruise here in Bangkok. It is a must and thank you for booking this with us and please do visit our company again. Regards. Nick

Good river cruise to cap off the Bangkok experience.

AILEEN_A, May 2022

Good selection of food served buffet style. Food stations are a bit crowded / swamped with rushing customers - no crowd control in place. Bring lots of patience to enjoy this experience. Overall, a relaxing cruise along Chao Phraya river to cap off the Bangkok experience.

Response from Host, May 2022

Dear Aileen, We do appreciate you taking the time to write a review on your dinner cruise. This is the most popular dinner cruise at the moment and apologies if this was busy but at the moment we are experiencing peak bookings for this cruise. I will though pass on to the team at White Orchid. Regards. Nick

A very enjoyable evening,...

Andrew_T, May 2022

A very enjoyable evening, the food was good the beer free, the wine no more expensive than in the UK and the entertainment was very good

Response from Host, May 2022

Thank you very much for taking the time to write. Future visitors to Bangkok looking for an affordable and satisfying evening dinner cruise will, no doubt, appreciate reading that you enjoyed your experience.

Horrible experience

Georgie_S, Apr 2022

I would not recommend this boat experience to anyone - it was terrible. The tables on level one are awful. The food looked terrible (couldn’t eat it).

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Dear Georgie, Thanks for your review however we dont know what you mean when you say "the tables are awful". We called White Orchid and there was no complaint about you wanting to move or about the food on the night. As you see most reviews give the cruise a 5 star so we are wondering if you can repost with actual details? Thanks, Nick

Everything was excellent,...

Michael_P, Mar 2022

Everything was excellent, food, entertainment,staff,boat was very smooth on the water. Would definitely recommend.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Dear Michael, We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us a 5-Star review! We take pride in knowing our customers are happy with their experience in spite of the situation. Thanks for your support, we really appreciate it! Looking forward to seeing you again soon, Nick

Beautiful and fun

Morgan_B, Mar 2022

Beautiful views of Bangkok, delicious food. If you have an allergy—make sure to figure out how to explain it in Thai, as there wasn’t anyone there that fully understood being allergic to shellfish and I had no idea what I could or could not eat.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Hi Morgan, Thank you for your review. I am sorry you found it difficult but we can also let the cruise company know as we have a note set up in the booking form. However I am glad that you still had a wonderful time, Nick
