What you see from the water
Bangkok from an angle you don't see from the street
The Chao Phraya River is Bangkok's lifeline, and the cruise travels along The palaces, temples and main tourist sites of the city.
In the evening hours the sites are illuminated, and that's why the cruise looks completely different from visiting the same places during the day. The sunset cruise captures the transition itself, from daylight to night lighting.
Which cruise to choose
The difference is 360 THB, and not just in timing
The sunset cruise It's the cheapest, 890 THB versus 1,250, and it's the only one with unlimited beer. It's also shorter and suits those who want to continue to an evening in the city afterward.
The evening meal longer, departs after dark when all the sites are illuminated, and suits being the evening's main event itself. Between the international and Indian, the difference is in the cuisine and At the departure pier: Not on the route.
For groups: from 10 people the price drops to 1,200 per person on the dinner cruises, and from 15 adults a free ticket is added.
