Bangkok: White Orchid Chao Phraya Dinner Cruise free Beer

1.White Orchid Chao Phraya Dinner Cruise free Beer

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 4,573 reviews · 2 hours · from $35Our pick

Cruise Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River with a Thai and international buffet, unlimited beer, live music, cabaret, and glowing temple views.

“If there would be an option to give 10* out of 5, this cruise deserves it. Rooftop is the best and the show performed live was, legendary. The staff did great and overall experience was awesome. For the context I was after almost 48h with no sleep due to flights, transfers and enjoying Bangkok and its atmosphere and culture. But this cruise, with a special surprise that we got for my father birthdays, is worth every penny. Overall: great views (Christmas lights in Bangkok are awesome), great crew and amazing atmosphere. Good food with nice beer is a part of this experience. Highly recommended🥂”

Review of Bangkok’s Baiyoke Sky buffet, with 77th-floor views, 84th-floor revolving deck, food, price, timing, and practical tips.

“Apart from finding the exact location (///nuzzled.bits.jiffy) of the entrance the whole experience was brilliant. Arrive at reception, check your voucher in, take elevator to floor 19, check-in for your actual ticket. You are given a time slot for your meal. Then take elevator to floor 77, floor 78 (where you will dine) or floor 83 and then walk to floor 84 which is the rotating platform. Food was incredible - fresh, amazing selection, very varied from Western to Thai. Great service, well organised, brilliant value, unique experience.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 908 reviews · from $159Top rated

Review of Phuket’s luxury James Bond Island catamaran cruise, with cave kayaking, buffet meals, sunset views, water toys, and practical tips.

“I had a fantastic time on this day trip! The tour kept things exciting and always had water and soft drinks available, along with alcohol for purchase. Our first stop featured slides and paddleboards, offering options to swim or jump off the boat. The ride was comfortable, and there were so many beautiful landscapes to admire around us. We also went kayaking—more like a small raft where someone else paddles for you—but it was still very cool. They provided us with a nice buffet lunch and dinner on board. Our final stop at James Bond Island was awesome. We took a wooden longtail boat to shore and had the chance…”
