What travelers say:
My wife and I were in Bangkok for the vibrant Songkran festival in April 2024. Wanting a memorable experience, we took a friend's advice and decided on a Chao Phraya River dinner cruise. After some research, we settled on "Royal Princess Cruises" booked through Trip.com. Choosing the right Chao Phraya cruise operator can be overwhelming with so many options. We selected Trip.com because it offered floor selection, easy booking, and competitive pricing. Plus, picking up our tickets was a breeze!

Chao Phraya River Photos: Trip Moments
Practical Guide for Traveling in BangkokPlay: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wat Arun It's very photogenic, and you can get beautiful shots easily. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Pho These three attractions are close to each other and worth visiting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Boat tour on the Chao Phraya River You can get to many attractions by boat from Icon Siam, including Chinatown, Wat Arun, the Grand Palace, and Khao San Road night market. The boat ticket is only 30 Thai baht, equivalent to 6 RMB. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Wat Traimit A huge seated Buddha, very impressive, but you need to find a good shooting position. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Khao San Road night market A tourist gathering area, similar to the ancient city pedestrian streets in China. Very lively. Eat: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Jae Ngor's Kitchen The curry crab is a must-try, and other dishes are also good. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Icon Siam A new landmark shopping center in Bangkok, a gathering place for luxury goods. The G floor has an indoor food street market, very lively. Indoor Transportation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Subway The subway is the first choice for going out, which is more convenient, but you need to recharge. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Chartered travel A small car costs 1800-2200 Thai baht per day for 10 hours. ⭐️⭐️⭐️Taxi Bangkok is very congested, it is recommended to use Bolt, Grab taxi app. It's a bit expensive.Zephyr_Thornfield_527

Chao Phraya RiverChao Phraya river is truly an amazing sight to see! As one of the main transportation channels in Thailand since ancient times, it is rich in history and culture. As the river flows through Bangkok, travelers can witness a stunning array of architecture and landmarks from various points of interest and cultural significance. The Grand Palace and Wat Arun Temple are just a few of the amazing sites that can be seen. Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to Chao Phraya river to anyone visiting Thailand. It's an integral part of the country's history and offers a unique perspective on the dynamic culture of Thailand. #wecreateDicky Pranata17

Enjoy Chao Phraya river at sunsetOnly 15 Thai Baht to travel as a local from the Chao Phraya River Pier like a Pro. The beautiful sunset and the nature along side the river, plus some restaurants on the river banks, were overwhelming the money spent on it. Strolling the areas through small lanes with lots of people both passers by, motorists and merchants. Ending up couldn’t resist to try displayed street food of Thai curry and drinks. #yuppije2023 #bangkok #chaophryariver #thaifood #yuppijetripYuppiJe13

nice cruise trip at Bangkok#chaophryariver #cruise Evening views of the illuminated ancient and modern treasures and temples of Bangkok, built along the banks of the Chao Phraya River, made for a truly lovely and memorable experience. The entertainment as we boarded the ship and the live band during the cruise were both lively and entertaining. The passing, illuminated dinner cruise ships were a pretty sight, as we enjoyed the dinner buffet, which offered a variety of food. Service was friendly.khoon yen14

Fresh air and river viewsNice elevated walkway which provides nice views of the river and the landscape. It's great to watch the boats go past and to get some fresh air and sunshine. Popular spot for locals to come and rest & relax. Worth a look if in the area. Especially at dusk. There are views available on both sides of the river which provide something each a little different. Around the bridge there are a couple of parks which make the walk here a pleasant one and as always Bangkok has lots of intresting things to see. Chinatown is not too far a walk away if you wanted to combine it with something or you can check out the nearby Indian area too. #gooutside #passionpassport #solotravelJoe041224

My wife and I were in Bangkok for the vibrant Songkran festival in April 2024. Wanting a memorable experience, we took a friend's advice and decided on a Chao Phraya River dinner cruise. After some research, we settled on "Royal Princess Cruises" booked through Trip.com. Choosing the right Chao Phraya cruise operator can be overwhelming with so many options. We selected Trip.com because it offered floor selection, easy booking, and competitive pricing. Plus, picking up our tickets was a breeze!
Easy to change tickets, very cost-effective! I chose the flight segment of 7.45 at night. The exterior view of the room is on the third floor. It will not be very hot at night. It will pass through many famous attractions all the way. The night view is very beautiful! Don't expect too much for the buffet, salmon is OK. Magnolia seems to be the only cruise ship with a demon show. Although it is only a few simple performances and interactions, it is also worth the fare. The whole voyage is about 2 hours. It is recommended to blow the evening wind on the boat and see the night view one night! The pier I chose is iconsiam, a large comprehensive mall, you can reserve 2 hours to stroll there before boarding.
The luxury cruise dinner was a truly memorable experience. Opting for upper deck seating provided a refreshing ambiance.
this is one of my favourite places when I visited Bangkok from 13/2-18/2/24. This is my first ever visit to Bangkok, Thailand.. i took a ride of the tourist boat , ‘blue flag’ double decker boat during evening around 5 pm till 7 pm. besides enjoyed the breeze and relaxing ambient , sightseeing the building beside the river , especially the shining ‘Wat Arun ‘, grand palace of Thailand and also the dazzle Icom Siam, beside those scrapers sky high hotel.
The night view is good. Although the 2-hour buffet is available, the tableware will be collected before 9 o'clock. The food is not given. The meal is average, drinks and drinks need to be paid separately.
The Chao Phraya is the major river in Thailand, with its low alluvial plain forming the center of the country. I love this river when I pass by.
Chao Phraya River was a great experience.I always like to be near water or on boats!So a city where boats are used as normal public transport was something not to be missed.The river is huge and all sorts of local boats pass by. This is one of the main reasons why I like Bangkok so much!The wind in my face and enjoying the amazing views of the shore, including some great temples.
