One important point to remember is that regardless of the cruise you choose, it is recommended to book your spot prior to getting to each of the embarkation points to avoid higher prices, and sometimes these dinner cruises tend to sell out pretty quickly depending on the demand and season. 

Peak/Off-Seasons

Peak season:

The peak season is generally from November to March. This is when Bangkok is generally filled with tourists, so just going to any pier might lead you to disappointment as you’ll see hordes and hoards of tourists all vying for a dinner cruise. It is recommended to book your dinner cruise in Bangkok beforehand, that way you’ll be guaranteed a spot and you might even get a better deal. 

Off-Peak season:

If you want to experience a dinner cruise in Bangkok without worrying about the hustle and bustle that comes with the peak season, then the months of May to October are for you. However, you might encounter unpleasant weather as this is considered to be the rainy season. 

As part of our Thailand tours, the dinner cruises offer comfort and views, no matter the weather.

Booking Tips

• Make reservations for your Bangkok dinner cruise well in advance, either on the ship's website or through websites like Klook, for the finest experience. That way, you might even get some fantastic promotions.
• Additionally, don't rely solely on one blog or social media post; instead, read several reviews before making your decision. It will assist you in avoiding solutions that are too costly or lackluster.
• Finally, get there early! You risk missing the boat completely if you arrive just before departure time.

Remember that a dinner cruise in Bangkok is about more than simply the cuisine; it's also about experiencing the city from a new viewpoint. Whether it's the ancient landmarks lighted up at night or the fresh wind from the river, it's a fantastic evening of dining, sightseeing, and leisure.
