Apsara River Cruise: Price , Booking , Nearby , E-Ticket Travelling the Chao Phraya River at night, with the temples lit-up along the banks, is one of the must-do experiences in Bangkok, and the luxury of the Apsara truly is a cut above the majority of boats travelling this well-worn tourist trail. Taking time to pause in front of the famous sights, passengers are treated to a delicious Thai feast onboard a romantic converted rice-barge. Departing from River City Pier every night at 20:00, you can either embark here or take advantage of the complimentary shuttle bus from Banyan Tree Hotel in Sathorn. Although you miss the sunset, the traffic on the river is much quieter at this time of night, and the temples are lit up for that perfect night-time picture. From the moment you board, the service is of international-standard. The captain and his crew greet you at the pier dressed in traditional Thai outfits and you are served a welcome drink; a refreshing blend of apple, lime, basil and lemongrass with a dash of lemonade. This is served with a small amuse-bouche of rice crackers with sweet, coconut dipping sauce while you browse the drinks menu, which compromises of a decent selection of wines by the bottle or glass, spirits, cocktails and soft drinks. The food menu is fixed, but the maitre d’ checks any allergies and dislikes before you board, and the food is adapted accordingly. There is no live entertainment but you cruise along to the sounds of traditional Thai instruments, punctuated by a commentary of the monuments you are passing by, guaranteeing that you don’t miss the sites while you enjoy your food. 【Recommended Readings】 >>>Safari World Marine Park  >>>Lumpini Boxing   >>>Bangkok Balcony Premium   >>>White Orchid Cruise
