Itinerary

  1. Stop 1

    one hour

    Meet at ICONSIAM Pier 4 for check-in and boarding for the Sawasdee Chao Phraya Dinner Cruise. Staff will assist you in locating the correct counter and confirming your booking before you board. Check-in is available during the published departure window, and we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before sailing to avoid missing the boat. Once onboard, settle into your seats (or VIP room if selected), enjoy a welcome drink, and get ready for a relaxing evening on the river. Late arrivals and no-shows are non-refundable, so please plan extra time for traffic and finding the pier inside ICONSIAM.

The atmosphere is elevated with live music and a Thai classical dance show, making it ideal for couples, families, and first-time visitors.

  6. The Grand Palace

    Passing by

    Enjoy a rare riverside perspective of Bangkok’s most famous royal landmark area—the Grand Palace—as you cruise past the historic heart of the city. While the palace is not visited or entered on this cruise, the skyline and riverside views still make for a highlight photo moment, especially at night when Bangkok’s landmarks and river traffic create a vibrant backdrop. This is a view-only pass-by from the boat.

  7. Asiatique The Riverfront

    Cruise past Asiatique The Riverfront, Bangkok’s lively riverside night market and entertainment complex.

From the cruise, you’ll get a clear look at this landmark along the Chao Phraya, adding a cultural touch to the night scenery as the boat continues toward the return point. This is a pass-by viewpoint only.
