A nice relaxing trip on the river with good food and reasonable prices. What I don't like are all the people who are constantly making selfies and selfies and selfies.

Popular Post FarangRimPing Posted November 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2023 I've gone on this cruise about 10 times with different guests. Everyone has really loved it. The Manohra Cruises rice barges are antique and carefully restored to preserve the original artistry. Carved from teak and with a traditional reua krachaeng canopy, the setting is intimate and guests enjoy a cool river breeze. These iconic vessels were once the primary mode of transport on the river, particularly during the Thonburi period in the mid 18th century, harking back to a golden era when Bangkok was a major trading destination. https://www.manohracruises.com/default/special-offers/manohra-dinner-cruise 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that one, no problem at all. They have two different boats. One with a dinner buffet and one with a-la-carte. Until now I also was on the a-la-carte boat. The prices are reasonable, just like a decent (but not luxury) Thai restaurant. I think the boat tour itself is only 100B or so. It cost money because of all the food and drinks.

Dogbarker Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 So I went on the white or his last night 4 people . Buffet . It was a cheap cruise at £15 a head .. boat a bit date entertainment .

newnative Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 My spouse and I had a lovely dinner cruise a year or so ago. Can't remember the name of the cruise company but it departed from Asiatique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Triangle Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I would love to do that, I would need a hotel for the night so we could make the most of one night in BKK 😀 any recommendations?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Every girlie will love it and want to do the usual romantic-dinner-river cruise that is usually the perfect tourist trap. But to please those ladies and to see them thank us later back home or in the hotel, we would go to any extent, no matter how boring it may be !! 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMZ Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 If you want something small, then both the Oriental and the Shangri-La do dinner-cruises on the old rice-barge type boats, only about ten tables on each cruise, goes down to the Royal Long-Boat marina and back again. Small, intimate, great food, but pricey, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foexie Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 depends on what you are looking for. They all feed you farang food not real Thai food. So if you go for the food can't help you but if you just wanna have a nice relaxing time i would go for the trip with the old rice barges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
