About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- spiroslearity0 contributionsCruise featuring amazing views & talented musiciansThis was an amazing and unforgettable experience that may turn out to be the highlight of my whole trip. The nighttime views from the river were magnificent, and the music performers not only were truly talented, but also they had different performers take turns so the music was there for the entire experience!! The food was pretty good for being buffet style, but the experience is the reason to go! Also, there is assigned seating, which isn't clear if you book through Tripadvisor, so watch out for that!Written January 17, 2025
- JCjaney0 contributionsGreat tripGreat way to spend an evening with fantastic entertainment. Good selection of food and well organised. Would recommend this trip. Great to see Bangkok by night from the comfort of the boat.Written January 16, 2025
- shankerr20230 contributionsRecommended evening family activity in BangkokMy son and I were in Bangkok in December 2024. We come from Sydney, Australia. I took him for the Dinner & Cruise on the Chao Phraya River which we both enjoyed very much. This was my second time on the same Dinner & Cruise, having done this on a previous visit to Bangkok. The food was great, as well as the on-board entertainment. Bangkok is very pretty on the river at night with the riverside lit up, and this is a recommend activity for families.Written January 16, 2025
- MonalisaM2240 contributionsLoved itThe experience of the White Orchid cruise was the most memorable part of our trip. We booked the evening cruise starting at 5:30 PM and queued up near the designated pier at Iconsiam Mall. It’s advisable to reach the pier early, considering the crowded area and the time it takes to navigate through the mall. The staff on the ground was extremely helpful, guiding us at every step until we boarded the cruise. Within the first five minutes of the cruise, the food was served, and the beer counter was open. I particularly loved the dessert corner with its variety of choices, but my favorite was the chocolate pastry. My mother, who gets seasick, had ice cream and fruit salad. She complimented the inclusion of dragon fruit, which is her favorite. The food served was mainly Asian-style, and it was extremely delicious. The best part was that the food was abundant and restocked throughout the cruise. My father truly enjoyed the unlimited supply of beer, and my sister delighted in her ice cream. The scenic beauty, as the warm sun slowly submerged into the horizon and the glittering lights of the city filled the sky, will be a memory engraved in my mind. The cruise showcased the entire city on its journey, with the most dramatic scene being the rays of light illuminating Wat Arun. For entertainment, we were serenaded by a beautiful singer. Her voice and stage presence lit up the entire cruise. I loved how she included members of the audience as well. I also got to celebrate my birthday on deck, which was the highlight of my year. The cruise ended, but as we made our way back from the pier, I witnessed a mesmerizing performance by Zee (a Thai actor). This is definitely a great way to experience the city and should be on every tourist's list.Written January 16, 2025
- mary o0 contributionsGood night outFood was good and singers upstairs really good near end of cruise when they got everyone involved ... no atmosphere downstairs as people were spread out ..be much better if everyone in same room The place to be is upstairs I work as a volunteer with wheelchair users and i thought it was a disgrace that an elderly person had to sit on stairs and shimmy down as no wheelchair lift available ..and had to be bodily lifted up thr stairs ..Surely on a boat this size a small lift could be installed . This boat not suitable for people with mobility issues as stairs are high.... But overall an enjoyable night .. Bangkok by night is fabulousWritten January 15, 2025
- David B0 contributionsA must-do on your trip to Bangkok!We had an amazing time cruising on the Chao Phraya river, enjoying delicious food and drinks and lively entertainment. We highly recommend this activity!Written January 15, 2025
- briansA9142FJ0 contributionsComplete Ripoff!The provider of this service has a 24 hour notice policy for any changes. Therefore, if you have a flight delay or cancellation while in route, they will not move your reservation to a new date or provide a refund. If they are going to operate in this industry, they should understand flight delays and cancelations are outside the customers control. They should be prepared for these circumstances and take care of the customer. It is a cost of doing business in the industry. This is not their policy. It is to keep you money and provide no service. I highly recommend avoiding this service provider.Written January 15, 2025
- 874nareshk0 contributionsMust go if you are in Bangkok with familyWe had a great family day. The rides are amazing. Recommend to visit snow land (winter land) before going to water park inside the Dream World. We could not take all the rides because of long ques but it is a must visit place.Written January 15, 2025
- pch20240 contributionsWorth to go Pearl Dinner Cruise in BangkokVery good Cruise with nice food,wonderul live band awasome river night view at some place, whether comfortable good for visitWritten January 14, 2025
- jamescT388EP0 contributionsBeautiful sites, could have been a better experience.Sites were amazing. On board entertainment was lively. Food was better than average but not the reason for taking the cruise. The general experience is a must do, but I don't know if I would book the same provider or use Trip Advisor to book it. My concerns about the experience are the following: 1) too many people on the cruise and the flow of people are not well managed - I had to be assertive just to get on board and to the buffet line. I had to make my way to the top deck to see the sites but discovered no where for general viewing as every inch of deck space was a reserved table. 2) by booking through trip advisor I was not aware I could reserve a specific table. I ended up down stairs with a very limited view of the sites. So, I then had to venture upstairs (it was allowed even if you didn't have a table upstairs) in order to see the view.Written January 14, 2025
- Sayersclan0 contributionsDinner and site seeing down the riverGreat boat ride down the river, lots of lovely views, we got to sit outside out the front of the boat which was the perfect spot to take pictures. Lovely warm night and lots of other boats on the river as well, food was great. Definitely recommend The Wonderful Pearl dinner cruise.Written January 11, 2025
- biggycee0 contributionsAn unforgettable experience on the Luxury White CruiseWow, what an amazing evening! From the moment we stepped aboard the new luxury white dinner cruise, we felt like VIPs. The boat was stunning, and the views were out of this world from the top deck The food was delicious especially the seafood and the Thai Soup. There was a huge amount of choice to choose from. The live music added the perfect touch to the evening, creating a fun atmosphere. In short, the luxury white dinner cruise gave us a night to remember. If you're looking for a special and unforgettable night out, this is it. We can't wait to do it again!Written January 11, 2025
- philipjamesrv0 contributionsYou will want to consider this unique service in BKK Intl.We booked for both departure and arrival fast track. Service was very efficient on both arrival and departure fast track. On departure, the airline counters had a gate change and the checkin counters opened an hour earlier. Called Asia Thailand and requested to meet at an hour earlier and at another gate. No problem. A must for first time tourists to Bangkok. A convenience for all returning tourists.Written January 11, 2025
- orangekiwi110 contributionsTotally worth the 5 stars for this cruiseI recently went on the Luxury White Dinner Cruise, and it was awesome! Beautiful Setting: The yacht had this classy white decor that made everything feel special and cozy. The buffet dinner was super tasty, and food is spread out on all decks (we sat in the open air). The staff were super friendly and treated us like VIPs. They really took care of us. After dinner the entertainment started and the live music was great and added a nice vibe to the evening. The musicians were really talented especially the singer. All in all, the Luxury White Dinner Cruise was an unforgettable experience with delicious food, awesome service, and beautiful views. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a special night out on the water!Written January 10, 2025

Damnoen Saduak is a must when you are Thailand. I Asia Thailand made this easy. A bus ride that is 2hrs long is not that long because “Niky”, our tour guide made our trip interesting because she shared the Thailand culture in a nutshell and gave some tips how to bargain when we get to market. She shared the culture of Buddhism and monk lifestyle and some local words we can actually used not just our trip but also useful throughout our vacation. The floating market is beautiful and Thai people are very friendly. This was a private tour so we can swap and change with the guide which was excellent

Hi Abbey,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a beautiful review. Most people don't bother to leave reviews about positive experiences and that's what makes you the star.
It's only when we receive such positive feedback, do we rest knowing that we have done our jobs well.
Thank you for giving us this proverbial pat on the back, you made our day!
Regards,
Nic

Be careful with this visit. There are many scam stories of how tourists are scammed. I/We were nearly scammed ourselves.
The usual going rate to bring a group of tourist there will be 4000baht - 6000baht for a bigger group, inclusive of railway market as a day trip package. But i happened to get a taxi driver outside our hotel at a much much cheap rate the day before. I got the taxi driver's number and watsapped him the night before and agreed that we will NOT take any boat rides - that's how they will charge exorbitant rates to the tourists!!
In exchange, when the driver picked us up the following morning, we agreed to go to one of his 'sponsors' - a beehive farm which turned out to be a pleasant visit in itself and quite informative.
During the drive there, we agreed that if all goes well, we would like to help him by visiting another of his 'sponsor' on our trip back, and immediately his face lited up. ::))

Dear Francis,

I am sending to Tripadvisor but if you have a complaint, please do so in the correct listing.

Tourist trap for sure. Be sure and bargain for items. Offer a 60% discount on their asking price and many times it is accepted. These businesses expect you to bargain according to our tour guide. Food in the restaurants are pretty basic but very tasty.

Dear sewkitty,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback regarding your visit to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market with the paddle boat experience. Your comments are important to us as they help us continuously improve our services.
We're glad to hear that you had the opportunity to explore this iconic market and experience the traditional paddle boat ride. However, we noticed your review mentioned "tourist trap," and we would like to point out that the market is 99% visited by tourists. You just need to haggle if you want to buy goods but this is like any local market in the world!
Best regards,
Nick

Even though it’s a group tour, the tour guide made sure that we were all engaged with the tour and looked after us well. We had a great time at the famous floating market with a free boat ride included too. Great food options as well and the guide suggested the mango and rice which was delicious. This tour helps especially for families, where traveling between all these places will be difficult. Excellent morning out!

We really enjoyed this trip and that was mainly down to our fabulous guide “Boeing”, one of the best we’ve ever experienced along with the “2nd best driver” as he was known ( apologies, his name now escaped me ) Boeing was so welcoming and friendly, so funny too and his knowledge was second to none. On the way to the markets we visited a family coconut plantation which was really interesting and fun. The floating markets were as we expected, now very commercial but still a very interesting place and hearing the history of them and how they traded and sold their goods. It’s a good 90 mins out of the city and the traffic was awful at times but our fabulous guide made that barely noticeable.
Thank you “Boeing” and 2nd best driver for a fun trip, for spoiling us with local delicacies and treats throughout, you are legends 😊

We booked a half day tour to damnoen floating market and managed to witness the old and newly built floating market. Our guide, Pam, was awesome and helpful. She shared some story of thai culture, how the floating market came about and great information throughout the day. Not only that, she also showed us which area has the best boat noodles, mango sticky rice, coconut water, coconut pancake and more! The overall experience is great and chill. We also had the 30 minute paddle boat ride which was fun. Can’t wait to go back again!!

Our guide Pang was lovely, warm and friendly...the markets aren't anything more than a tourist trap, not a snap shot of local life at all. The coconut plantation however was so interesting and a highlight. We all weren't interested in shopping after the boat trip, so our time was spent just waiting for the van to leave. We were lucky enough to share the experience with lovely people so the day was great. For the price...it could have been better.

Dear Guest,
Thanks for your review. This market is targeted for tourists and I am sorry that you did not enjoy the stalls here.
May I suggest you try Amphawa Market which is less touristy and is outside Bangkok.
