We had such a wonderful and unforgettable experience! The crew was amazing, the entertainer was absolutely fantastic, and the overall atmosphere was incredible. Despite the heavy rain that caught us during the celebration, the fun never stopped. At first, we thought the rain might affect the experience, but the entertainer truly made all the difference. She kept everyone engaged, entertained, and in high spirits throughout the event. One of the best parts was seeing people from different nationalities come together. Even though we didn’t speak the same language, we connected through music, dancing, and laughter. We danced and sang together, and it was such a beautiful reminder that happiness doesn’t need a common language. What made this experience even more special was that we were celebrating my partner’s birthday. It became a memorable celebration filled with music, laughter, and wonderful moments. Thank you to the entire crew and especially to the amazing entertainer.

location: 10/10, as we pass through the temple and other scenery at night. It was wonderful 💓 safety: 10/10, we felt safe throughout our journey especially when we moving in the river and when we need to head down due to low bridge. It was a funny and fun experience! experience: 10000/10000, aside for doing this first time - me and my boyfriend had the best memories as we got engaged in the cruise 🥰 It was nerve wrecking but we had the memorable & happiest experience 🤗

It was a very luxurious dinner cruise. The Thai dancers came right to our table to take pictures with us, which made for a wonderful memento. We have used this cruise many times before, but compared to the past, the buffet has improved in quality with every single dish, and it was delicious. The meat was tender and tasty, and we thoroughly enjoyed the desserts as well. I was impressed by the staff, who always greeted us with a smile. I am also deeply grateful that they reached out to help my husband, who has difficulty walking.

Still as beautiful as the first time! ✨ Our 2nd time experiencing the Meridian Dinner Cruise, and it never fails to amaze us. The breathtaking views, delicious food, and relaxing ambiance along the Chao Phraya River make it special every time. Definitely one of our favorite Bangkok experiences! ❤️🇹🇭 Worth experiencing over and over again! 🌃

Took my family of five on this cruise, and it was our first-ever cruise experience. Coming from a small town, this was truly an eye-opening and unforgettable experience for them. Watching them take it all in, enjoy the food to their heart’s content, dance their hearts out, and simply have the time of their lives made it all the more special. Having this as the final experience of our trip was truly the cherry on top. It was the perfect way to end a wonderful vacation and create memories we’ll cherish for a long time. A special mention: We went on a Tuesday, and the crowd was just right. Not too packed, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for giving my family such a wonderful experience. Definitely a highlight of our trip!

At first, we were a bit confused about where to find the ticket counter, but we went straight to the cruise deck.. Luckily, we saw a lady staff holding the Faraya signage.. Even though we arrived 15–10 minutes before the departure time (cuz of traffic jammed), Alhamdulillah, we managed to get in!.. Everything was fine, wonderful food (they even top-up food), tentative staff, cozy ambiance & alhamdulillah for the great weather!.. They also had the singer sing a song during the dinner cruise, thumbs up to her, she still interacts & communicates with us eventhough we are busy eating and some ignore her (erk).. Overall, my personal rating is 9.5/10 stars!

If you’re looking for a memorable night in Bangkok, the Super Galaxy dinner cruise is such a lovely pick! We boarded at ICONSIAM Pier 4, which is super convenient. This is one of the newest luxury cruises on the Chao Phraya River. The whole trip lasts about 2.5 hours. The boat itself looks stunning with bright blue neon lights, and the view along the river at night is breathtaking. You can see the glittering city skyline and famous landmarks lit up. We enjoyed a buffet dinner on board, and vegetarian options are available if you request them in advance. There are also live performances and a relaxed vibe, perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic date. Service was friendly, and the whole experience felt smooth. It’s definitely a great way to slow down and see Bangkok from the river. Worth adding to your Bangkok itinerary!
