Whenever I take the 10 baht boat taxi at night up the Chao Phayo River, we always pass by several dinner cruises on the way. I have always thought that having dinner on a boat on the river would be a fun night out, but I have always heard that they were very expensive (in the range of thousands of bahts).
But one of the staff members in my office, Jet, suggested that we go celebrate his birthday on one of the boats. The price was only 400 baht ($US10) for a 3-hour cruise and buffet. Not too bad.
But we soon realized why it was so cheap. Screaming kids, mediocre food, loud cheesy Musak, and a broken aircon.
But I have to say it was an enjoyable evening in any case. Especially after dinner was finished and we went out to sit on the bow of the boat to watch beautiful-at-night-Bangkok glide by.
And now you can say that you have been on a dinner cruise! haha!
Love you!!
Yup. Now I just need to find someone to take me on one of the expensive ones! (And pay, of course :)
