White Orchid River Cruise review: Bangkok night views, Thai and international buffet, live music, cabaret, tips, value, and practical booking advice.

“The cruise was very well organized from boarding to checkout.i will strongly recommend for anyone visiting Bangkok. The cruise offers plenty to suit multiple tastes. There's great entertainment onboard across two floors and if you want to experience the city from the beautiful river, there couldn't be a better option either. The food was great for non vegetarians.non vegetarian options are very limited. If you have limited time and only an evening, would surely recommend this cruise.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 11 reviews · 2 hours · from $35

Review the White Orchid Bangkok dinner cruise, with Chao Phraya views, buffet dining, free beer, Thai dance, music, and cabaret.

“No es uno de los barcos más nuevos, aunque esté recién pintado. Hay suficiente comida, aunque muy poca variedad, y la cerveza ilimitada parece aguada, es autoservicio desde una jarra grande que van rellenando. Hay varios espectáculos durante el recorrido, entretenido y suficiente. El último fue con diferencia el más divertido, de cabaret con dos “mujeres”. Un recorrido bonito, y por el precio sin quejas, pero no contar mucho con la comida, y disfruta del trayecto.”
