An Evening on the River: Chao Phraya Dinner Cruise on the Wonderful Pearl
A Chao Phraya dinner cruise aboard the Wonderful Pearl, one of the most refined boats on the river. Pick-up is at your hotel at 18:30 and you sail at 19:00 from the River City Shopping Complex, welcomed with a signature drink. Half an hour later the buffet opens, with Thai and international specialties, as the boat passes the Grand Palace, Wat Arun and Wat Kalayanamitr, all lit up. From 20:15 the evening carries on with classical Thai dance and live music, and you can stay in the air-conditioned room or go up to the panoramic deck for the breeze.

Sample Itinerary
The experience begins with pick-up directly at your hotel reception in Bangkok. You will be comfortably transferred to the boarding pier at the River City Shopping Complex.
You will be greeted with a “Signature Welcome Drink” as you step aboard the luxurious Wonderful Pearl. The boat sets sail on time, beginning the evening cruise on the Chao Phraya River.
The sumptuous international buffet opens. While you enjoy the delicacies prepared by the chefs, the boat passes alongside the most iconic historic sites: the Grand Palace, Wat Arun and Wat Kalayanamitr, all skillfully lit to bring out their beauty by night.
The evening continues with classical Thai dance performances and live music played by talented local artists. You can choose to relax in the air-conditioned area or enjoy the breeze on the upper panoramic deck.
The cruise draws to a close with the return to the pier. The final view of the modern Bangkok skyline lit up rounds off this luxury experience in style.
After disembarking, our vehicle will be waiting to transfer you back to your hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell whether an excursion is right for me?
Every tour and activity is described in detail in your personalized itinerary. For each excursion you will find precise information on:
- Difficulty level: easy, moderate or demanding.
- Duration: from half a day to a full day.
- Requirements: minimum level of fitness, recommended age and accessibility.
Please also bear in mind that sea excursions by speedboat are usually not suitable for pregnant women or for people with heart or back problems. Travelers with disabilities should be accompanied by someone who can assist them when needed. If you have any doubts or specific requirements, your Travel Consultant is always at your disposal for personalized advice.
What happens in case of bad weather?
Safety is our priority. If weather conditions make an activity dangerous or inadvisable, the excursion will be:
- Rescheduled: we will try to move the activity to another day of your trip.
- Replaced: if rescheduling is not possible, we will offer an alternative activity of equal value.
- Refunded: if neither rescheduling nor replacement is possible, you receive a refund for the excursion you were unable to take. Bank and collection fees on online payments are not refundable.
Please remember that rain during the wet season rarely spoils an entire day. You will always be informed in advance of any changes.
What are the pick-up times?
All meeting and pick-up details are clearly stated in your final travel documents (which you receive about 3 weeks before departure).
- Time: we will let you know the exact pick-up time. Please be ready at the agreed place at least 15 minutes beforehand.
- Pick-up point: in most cases the pick-up takes place directly in the lobby of your accommodation (if it lies within the areas covered by the service). If it does not, we will tell you the nearest meeting point.
What should I bring with me on the excursions?
For every excursion we provide a list of recommended items. In general, we always suggest:
- Suitable clothing: for example, long trousers and no low-cut tops when visiting the Grand Palace in Bangkok, light and breathable clothes for hot areas, a swimsuit, or comfortable shoes for light trekking.
- Protection: hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.
- Hydration: water, especially on hot days.
- Vouchers and documents: where required, a copy (digital or printed) of your booking voucher.
Are meals or drinks included during the tours?
It depends on the excursion. The description of each tour in your itinerary clearly states whether the following are included:
- Lunch, dinner or snacks.
- Water or other drinks.
If you have any food allergies or intolerances, please let us know when you book, so that we can inform our local partners in advance.
Can I cancel or change a single excursion?
Yes, but specific terms apply. Cancellation and amendment conditions vary from one activity to another.
You will find the exact details for each excursion in the Terms and Conditions attached to your quotation. If you need to make a change or a cancellation, please write to us at info@thailandfantastic.com as soon as possible.
Are young children and infants allowed?
It depends on the activity. Some excursions, especially those by boat or those requiring physical effort, may have age or height restrictions for safety reasons. Any such restriction is stated in the tour description.
Please always tell us the exact age of every participant, children in particular, when you request a quotation.
