I took a few water taxis/ferries while in Bangkok, but also wanted to do a proper tour on the river to see the sites and learn the history. Apparently, there's no such thing, but the nearest that was on offer was a nighttime dinner cruise.
I booked through the on site travel agent at the Royal Orchid Sheraton and told them I wanted something chill to see the sites; I didn't want a party cruise. The agent was great and reserved me an outside table at the front of the boat to ensure the best views. The cruise departed and returned to River City, right beside my hotel.
There was an inside with performers and more tables in the air conditioning, but I stayed outside as it was comfortable after sundown and I was there for the views. And it was definitely much quieter than some of the other ships we passed. We also went at a more leisurely pace.
The fare included a buffet dinner which was nothing to write home about. Drinks were for purchase.
I enjoyed the sites; the city along the river looks amazing lit up after dark. I just wish there was some commentary about what we were seeing.
