Real experiences from real travelers
The view of Wat Arun at night is worth the price alone. The seafood was fresh and the music was great!
Booked the Unicorn cruise from Iconsiam. Very easy check-in process. The buffet had plenty of vegetarian options for us.
We did the Pruek luxury cruise. It was much more private and the food was Michelin quality. Highly recommend for couples!
The boat was quite full, making the buffet line long, but the views of the palace were stunning. Arrive early!
The entertainment was fantastic. The cabaret show on the Royal Princess was so much fun for the whole family.
We took the sunset cruise with unlimited beer. Watching the city light up while enjoying a drink was the highlight of our trip.
Our platform made it easy to compare the different piers. We chose Asiatique and everything went perfectly.
The atmosphere on the boat for Christmas was so festive. The Thai dancers were very professional and graceful.
