The story
This is a buffet cruise on the Chao Phraya, the river that runs through the middle of Bangkok, sold by the operator in four ways. Three are dinner cruises: an international buffet boarding at ICONSIAM, the riverside mall on Charoen Nakhon Road; an international buffet boarding at Asiatique The Riverfront, the riverside shopping and dining quarter on Charoenkrung Road; and an Indian buffet boarding at a pier on Charoen Nakhon Soi 61. The fourth is an earlier sunset cruise with an international buffet from Asiatique. Each comes ticket only (you make your own way to the pier), with a shared transfer, or with a private transfer from your hotel. The operator does not name the boat or its operator, so your captain confirms the boat, the check-in point and the sailing time with your voucher.
What it feels like: you arrive at the pier while the city is still hot and loud, and then the boat pulls out and the air moves. From the deck the riverbank goes by slowly: hotel towers, cross-river ferries, long-tail boats and, depending on the route, temple roofs lit gold against the dark. Dinner is a buffet, which means a little queueing and a lot of choice, and it is eaten with the river in the window. On the sunset cruise the light does the work instead: the water turns copper, then grey, and the lights come on along both banks.
Who this suits, and why: couples and honeymooners for an easy evening out; the multigenerational group and active seniors, because it is seated and unhurried; the school-holiday family who want one evening that is about Bangkok rather than a mall. The Indian buffet option exists for the Ahmedabad family that wants familiar food on a night out, but whether it is fully vegetarian, or can be made Jain, is something your captain confirms with the operator before you pay.
