Almost all Bangkok dinner cruises are offering the nighttime dinner cruise option, which lets you explore the Chao Phraya River after dark. Discover the Bangkok dinner cruise guide with all Chao Phraya River cruises that let you board the cruise boat after dark and enjoy the nighttime city views while cruising along the river.
Chao Phraya River Night Dinner Cruises in Bangkok
A nighttime dinner cruise is the most common Bangkok river cruise option that is offered by almost all cruise boats. Such a cruise starts around 19:00 and ends around 21:00 and lets you enjoy the night view of the city with its most important landmarks being nicely lit up. The later dinner cruise is the most popular option, making it a more expensive Bangkok dinner cruise option that normally comes with a bigger selection of meals, a more extensive entertainment program, and a longer duration.
Advantages of a nighttime Bangkok dinner cruise
1. Views
While all cruises are passing the most important landmarks along the Chao Phraya River, such as the Grand Palace, Wat Arun, ICONSIAM, and others, they look more impressive once nicely lit up at night.
2. Menu
Normally, the menu on the sunset and dinner cruise is similar, but some of the premium dishes are available only for the later dinner cruise.
3. Entertainment
Live music is offered on all cruises, but other kinds of entertainment, such as Thai classical dances, Khon shows, and cabaret shows, are usually only offered for a dinner cruise.
4. Longer duration
Most of Bangkok’s dinner cruises last for 2 hours, while sunset cruises are offering a shorter experience. On a nighttime dinner cruise you get plenty of time to enjoy your dinner and join the party.
Disadvantages of a nighttime Bangkok dinner cruise
1. Price
While it is still possible to find a nighttime dinner cruise in Bangkok that fits into a 1,000 THB per person budget, the cheapest cruises on the Chao Phraya River are sunset cruises that can cost as little as 650 THB per person.
2. Drinks
With the exception of only a couple of cruises, beer and other alcoholic drinks are normally not included in the price. It is still possible to buy drinks at the bar on the cruise, but drink prices are on the higher side for Thai standards. In the meantime, many operators are offering free-flow beer for a sunset cruise to attract customers.
3. Busier cruise
As the nighttime dinner cruise option is very popular, cruise ships often fill up. Because of that, it might be more difficult to get a seat on the desired level, and the buffet is much more crowded than on the sunset cruise.
