dinner cruise on chao phraya river

I have been to Bangkok so many times but every time there is something new and different to see and do. This time one of those things were luxurious dinner cruise on the river.

There is a saying, “you shouldn't miss the Seine when in Paris, the Thames when in London, and the Chao Phraya when visiting Bangkok.”

 

 

Outside Geh´s house. Waiting for ride to Chao Phraya.

Before the cruise we went to have drinks at the pier.

I think Chao Phraya river is one of the great places in Bangkok. We usually have lunch at Oriental hotel when (also by the river) we are here, but this time no time to do that either.

On the river you can see historic temples and landmarks slowly unfold on your left and right.

Behold the marvelous Temple of Dawn, The Grand Palace, Rama VIII Suspension Bridge and a delightful collection of waterfront hotels and landmarks. All of these and buffet dinner, complimented with live music and a Thai classical dance show.

The cruise was perfect way to start Vappu in Bangkok. We had perfect and different Vappu here in BKK but more about that next time.
