The White Orchid River Dinner Cruise Experience

It’s amazing a really fun evening and saw everything we wanted with great go food drink and entertainment

We had such a great time on the White Orchid Dinner Cruise! The boat had a really fun and lively vibe, with music, dancing, and some great live performances. The buffet had lots of options with free beer and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Cruising along the river at night was just beautiful — seeing all the city lights and famous landmarks was a real highlight. It was a lovely way to spend the evening in Bangkok, and we’d definitely do it again! Thanks to Ms Mint for our great outdoor seats

Great entertainment and food. Nice way to start the Bangkok trip. People do get a little pushy when the buffet opens

Dont take this trip, worst thing you can do! We were placed at lower deck and there was the worst smell ever + it’s buffet and looked terrible!!. We jumped off immediately after we saw this. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

Had great 😸 time easy to find. Just down from the clock. May do again. Food was 👍 good. I do like the music to of been Thai

We lucked out with fireworks over the river but ….. for our last night in Bangkok it was a bit disappointing. Stressful finding ticket collection point - instructions on documentation. It very clear. Quieting for the Boat - not clear !!!! No information . What can only be described as ‘fight for survival’ to get food. No choice of inside or outside seating with booking. Not my a window so couldn’t see anything. Just a lack of information. But we got to see the fireworks and found a fun place to sit as Asiatique for drinks before the boat. Such a shame - we are not serial whingers !!! We usually have a great experience with out Viator bookings.

Dazzling lights and the colourful view of the city by night was fabulous and most memorable. Viator as a leasure agency has demonstrated high level of proficiency in the presentation of the product and has shown efficiency in coordinating the ticket sale. Some constructive concerns in the hope for attention: The vessel lacked luster and eligence for international market. There was a serious negligence on client safety on the top deck. The visitors were left to selfe awareness of the fatal violation of the head clearance when boat is passing under the bridge structure. There is serious lack of due diligence to the personnel safety. From a personnel safety point of view, exposure of visitors to the prospects of a fatal injury is unacceptable. There are many factors that can contribute to the visitors missing the call to duck down when passing under the bridge. There is loud music, there is inadequate lighting, there is lack of awareness in the midst of celebration. Thank you for your attention to this safety issue. Blessings to all in Christ.

The White Orchid Cruise provided us with a delightful dining experience. It was a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time with my family and we all had a great time. The cruise was definitely worth the cost as the food was delicious and the staff was attentive and friendly. Additionally, we were able to enjoy the stunning scenery of Bangkok while on board. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I would highly recommend.

Had a great time! - this is a must-try as an experience to see the city of Bangkok at night. The band and crowd was awesome!

We had great seats with a beautiful view we could see everything I wish I could’ve experienced this sooner but I loved it

An extremely nice experience. I highly recommend it. Wonderful food, great atmosphere and great service. Our waiter Natt was wondeful and he served us well all night

This is a budget cruise, you can see that in the low price that you pay. My river cruise experience with White Orchid was truly exceptional. The stunning scenery, dining, and friendly crew created an unforgettable experience that we will treasure. A must do if you want to watch your pennies!

Absolutely the worst experience in regards to explanation on how to get to pier to take in cruise. Mentions to take free water taxi however it’s only there if people at pier allow you to board I am guessing. We end purchasing water taxi tickets so we could get on boat to river front mall. Once there no better no signage as to where you need to go, we had purchased both cruise and show tickets so you need to find show office as website states once you find that then your told to go elsewhere to find boat tickets. Which is poorly marked, back to the pier you arrived at to board ship. Whoever runs this company needs to be fired! Absolutely the most frustrating experience and people should not tolerate such incompetence. Once on the boat you feel rushed to eat. Food was good and sites are nice. Would recommend any other cruise than this one!

Everything was good. Book early to ensure you are seated on top deck.it makes a huge difference to the experience

Boat was late docking so we were waiting around for over an hr. Staff were really friendly and while to food was cold it was really nice. Prices were average for Bangkok. Glad I went on ot but probably wouldn't rebook

This wasy fifth time to do this activity and the first time I was not on upper deck ( my fault as I booked last minute) food range not as good and food was cold and I mean C-O-L-D Do not think I would take that chance again

The riverside views were great. The buffet food options were mostly Thai and Western, which I appreciate since I prefer trying local food. It was spread out throughout the ship so plenty of choice. They were also giving out free draught beer which was a bonus for us. The performances were fun and a few people were dancing. They had a table with a birthday celebrations and the DJ gave the birthday girl a shoutout. Its fantastic value for money, yes its more budget but we had a great night out.

Food was poor and you had to move to the next floor for other options on the buffet. When you got to it it was finished. Cheap beer was free and the rest you had to pay for. The entertainment was VERY POOR and then they want a tip for it. It was cheap. If you don't hold on to your glass it is gone they had every thing packed and cleared before we could leave the boat. You could not see the beautiful river if you were not seated on the top. The main reason that I took the cruise was for the view of the river and we did not see anything.

It wasn’t clear there were different levels of service when we booked our tour. We ended up in the “basement” (ground level). There were two floors above us including the top level which was open and had much better service and views. No one ever came to us with menus. We walked upstairs and saw the bar and servers. I would recommend this tour but be aware of the difference levels of service. Food was cold and just average tasting. Ice cream was on the other levels but not on ours.

We booked 2 days before for 31 December as everything else was full. This was a busy night. Yes the pier was busy but the staff did the best they could as there were 10 cruises and thousands of people to handle. We boarded the ship and we noticed there was food on both levels (we were seated at the top). Plenty to choose from food wise. They also gave us free beer (chang) and also the house wine, The Highlight was around 1130pm the boats docked and we were all in place for the fireworks which were spectacular. You can see the mass of people on other boats and on the bridges watching this. Yes we were late getting in due to many cruises disembarking but what a fantastic night!

We booked this trip for New Year's Eve. It was expensive but we wanted to do something special. First off, the food is terrible. Poor quality and cold. It was a buffet that did not have a huge amount of choice and was low-end. The drinks were free - apart from mine, which was diet coke. Drink as much cheap wine and beer as you like - but no free diet coke. The free tea and coffee were undrinkable. The entertainment was so old-fashioned and poor. The main singer - she could not really sing. We had a man with a flute. Then 3 men dressed as women who could not lip sync either. The music was your typical YMCA crap. It was all very cheap and nasty. A lot like a very bad English wedding reception. I really thought that this type of affair was no longer available- but it seems to be well alive on this boat. Getting off took over 45 minutes!! Then, getting back to the hotel was a nightmare.

I went on the new years eve cruise from ICONSIAM and it was all very chaotic. We got back 1 hour late, and I almost missed the last train. If I could go back, I would choose another company and avoid ICONSIAM pier even if I had to pay extra. The only reason I gave 3 stars is because the views on the river are beautiful.

White Orchid Dinner Cruise is one of alternative tour at night to enjoy dinner while cruising Chao Praya river at night. Enjoying view of Bangkok city side at night .

The entertainment on board is tacky The singer was a rank amateur and the less said about the performances the better - very oridanary - better not to have it

Getting there was easy and the direction provided were clear. We arrived around 6pm so about almost 2 hrs before boarding time. Registration was okay. The same pier is used by other tours so i was crowded and confusing on when our ship will arrive. There is no seating area, people were standing and those who couldn’t stand long then sat on the steps. Staff was good, very attentive. We were placed on the bottom deck and asked to be moved to the top, where we had a good view of the buildings and lights. The buffet was okay, I loved the salads. Beer was on tap so a lot of people enjoyed that. There were singers lip syncing to popular songs playing. It was ok, at least they made effort to engage the guests. Overall, I give this 3 stars because my Aunty loved it, but I would not do it again. Tip - be mindful of the Bangkok traffic, arrive early as you can walk around the mall and sit on the upper deck.

The cruise itself was nice but food was not great, it was more quantity over quality. For the price we paid we were expecting a bit more.

Wish I could get my money back. Completely disorganized and chaotic. We waited for almost 2 hours and eventually bailed because the boat was behind and the amount of disorganization caused a panic attack

tourist attraction, very crowded, not very interesting, food tasteless there were no seats on the upper deck 2 hours before departure

My group enjoys the scenes from the ship. Definitely an incredible experience. The boat was very outdated and the food was mediocre at best. When the food was set out, there was a mad rush to the buffet line. The servers didn’t practice sanitary procedures as I saw several of them over a barrel taking the seeds out of the watermelon with their hands and a knife. AC was spotty. The entertainment was basic with a local Thai singer belting out the BeeGees! But for the price point, it fulfilled my expectations in seeing bangkok at night, but my group went out for dinner when we reached shore.

Its fantastic buffet and ride on the boat, so many various delicious foods can try 😋 its awesome experience got in Thailand, while your trip you can see Wat Arun, Wat pho, Grand palace and special places around the river,

Cook nice food, the buffet is terrible, the salad and the prawns were okay but everything else was the worst food I have ever eaten in Thailand and I have been here for 10 years. Turn the music down, its far too loud.

The food, service and entertainment was excellent. We had a special cruise. An hour longer and magnificent fireworks display

We had a great time. We were seated inside so if you wanted to see the views need to go upstairs or on the outer deck. We were lucky with the weather and it didn't rain but due to high tides were not able to go past Wat Arun but there are still amazing views along the river of the city

I booked this cruise for myself my husband and my 16 year old boys. It was raining and Bangkok traffic was awful so everything was delayed but the staff were great at getting us abroad. We were seated down stairs which had no atmosphere and because of the rain and the steam you couldn’t see anything. We were also wet from the rain and the air con was freezing. I had a look upstairs which looked much better I asked the manager and lucky he had space and moved us. If I hadn’t of been able to be moved I would have asked for my money back. However the staff were very accommodating and upstairs staff was brilliant lots of extra food stations fresh sushi, ice creams, fresh seafood as well as the buffet, downstairs had none of this except the same buffet. The entertainment was pure cheese and absolutely brilliant, we had a stag do on with us and they were nosy but so much fun, although no everyone would have like this but I thought it was brilliant. The buffet is fine tasty and edible but it’s not gourmet but it’s still very good. Cocktails are delicious … it’s a great cruise upstairs the views of Bangkok are beautiful well worth the money but only upstairs if I booked again I would request a table upstairs and by the window. I would definitely recommend for a fun night.

Entertainment was good. Food was ok. Check in and arrival process was chaotic. Make sure you leave adequate time to get to icon Siam.

An awesome evening cruise with fantastic entertainment(traditional Thai dance & Cabaret) and a huge & delicious buffet.

This was a horrible dinner cruise: 1. There was no organization outside, thus there was no line and there was shoving to get into the boat from the start. There was no need to because the tables were reserved. 2. The food was cold and some undercooked. The fries were as if they had come out of the fridge... my 12 year old didn't like the buffet whatsoever. 3. The drinks were extremely limited: water, hot tea, and of course unlimited beer (just what you want on a small boat... drunk pepole who can fall over) 🤦🏻‍♀️. They had desserts but no coffee. Also, there was a blue drink on our table and my kids didn't know if it was for drinking or dipping our fingers to clean. It reminded me of the window cleaner. 4. The view from the bottom floor... well there is practically none. 5. It had been raining so my kids and o went upstairs outside deck for a limited time... that part was nice, but too short. 6.it was a buffet line and some people were cutting in and shoving. Overall I ate undercooked , cold spaghetti and some cold dishes. 7. The food and experience get a "horrible" from me... don't waste your money.

Overall a good experience, but I have given it 3 stars as they tend to avoid customers who are English speaking. We had no idea of what was happening as the instructions were given in their own language, no one really could speak fluent English and tell us what was going on. The food was nice and the boat was well maintained. The entertainment was good and overall a pleasant evening.

The atmosphere, the entertainment, the friendly staff, Amazing.! Woud definately recommend to friends and family.

Amazing night view of Bankong, nice food and show... The boat on time...great experience...worth the money for the food and the view

So the White Orchard cruise is a nice way to see the river at night…the musical entertainment was very cheesy…think bad night club acts - but what they lacked on talent they made up for in effort. Food was plentiful, but average. Beer was free which was a major plus given we were right next to Mr Kenny singing…all in all - a fun way to see the river, but know what to expect..

The Cruise on the river is nice, the food is good highlighting the fresh sashimi of salmon, the Thai food: Pad Thai, Yom Tom Soup, Curry, minced garlic chili ginger meat, and cakes. The illumination of the temples and buildings on the Chaopraya River are a guarantee of enjoyment. The outside tables are great, but don't expect too much about the dance show which is of poor quality and located on the top floor, not accessible for the view if you are sitting on the lower tables forward of the ship, which is absolutely the best place to be. Otherwise this is a good choice to spend a couple hours in Bangkok

We were allocated a table on the lower deck. As such we could not see or hear the music, dancing or announcements. Upstairs deck was full. I would use a different cruise next time. I’ve been on 6 previous cruises. All were better.

Food was okay, good service, nice view. There was a show to get us all going. We went under couple of bridges, two of them was almost touching the cruise, we were told to sit down and they pull down all the standing lights near the buffet, I didn’t mind it, it was fun. Okay experience overall.

Pleasant and fun trip, the buffet was good, the shrimp cakes were spicy and delicious, sushi salmon fresh, coconut dessert tasty, the show on board was fun. Don't expect signature cocktails and a super fancy setting, but for the price of 38 USD this tour is an excellent choice, beer is free, other alcoholic beverages have to be paid extra, we were 3 people, including one Thai national and had a really good time. Staff was attentive and friendly. If you prefer smaller crowds you probably have to book a more expensive river cruise. Overall a very pleasant experience!

This was such a lovely experience. The boarding process is a bit confusing and chaotic but eventually they manage to get everyone to where they need to be. A word of advice, try and arrive at least 30-45 minutes earlier. The boat itself is lovely, neat, clean and spacious. The Thai music and live Thai dancing really sets the atmosphere. The buffet itself is pretty good, with a large and varied selection of the most popular Thai dishes. The singing contest/cabaret show which took place after dinner was simply amazing! The cruise itself is very relaxing and it was so nice to sit outside on the deck and see the different monuments, temples and places of interest lit up against the dark night sky. A very memorable experience which i would definitely recommend!

We chose the White Orchid river dinner cruise due to the good reviews and the fact this boat has a top outside uncovered deck, This particular evening river cruise starts from Asiatique on the river front, just outside of Bangkok Beautiful Thai/Asian and European style buffet self serve with table bar and drinks service. The food was amazing and such choice Great non stop entertainment right from the start with traditional Thai dancing, followed by a wonderful singer/band, then a further illuminated Thai dance show and singer/band to finish. What a wonderful way to spend a warm evening taking in the sights from Bangkok at night Excellent value and really an experience not to be missed

The riverside views were great from the boat. The buffet food options were mostly Thai and Western, which I appreciate since I prefer trying local food. Dessert was mostly Western cake and with the Thai jelly. The performances were great, with Thai performances. Great value for money with I Asia Thailand and they were very helpful and easy to contact.

I Asia Thailand arranged the table at the front of boat (our request) which was honoured. We can hear the music and also see the Thai show which was excellent. - Food was a buffet which had western food and also Thai food and the Pad Thai were excellent and very tasty.
