 We almost missed the cruise as we were caught in a bad traffic and hubby went to the wrong pier. The local Thai were pretty helpful in navigating us the way to River City, but passing by all those back alleys in Bangkok city is too challenging for all of us!

Nonetheless, we managed to get there in time. The adults had to pay for 1700 bahts each for the buffet aboard, and it’s free for all our kids.

Frankly, we were rather disappointed with the food. It stared international buffet, but the food selection is rather scarce. I’m a big eater but I didn’t get a second portion. I thought I would eat till I need diet pills to control my weight but then, there isn’t much to eat!

The Thai tradisional dance performance only lasted in less than 5 minutes, so I don’t think anyone likes it. But there is a live band on the upper deck and if you manage to get a table there, it’s the best. The night view is magnificent, but too bad I don’t have a good camera for night scene. I tried so much to snap a photo of the Grand Palace at night, but the effect didn’t turn out great.

Thus, I will bring my kids on boat ride on Chao Phraya again, but I won’t pay for something so expensive.
