What to expect

  • This is a New Year's Eve party cruise: the music is lively and the buffet is self-service, not a quiet fine-dining dinner.
  • The 2nd floor is open-air: the clearest view of the midnight fireworks, but it can be windy.
  • The pier is at the Riverside Bangkok Hotel on the Thonburi side, not at Asiatique or ICONSIAM. Take a taxi or ride-hailing car to the hotel.
  • Traffic is very heavy on 31 December: leave at least 1–2 hours earlier than usual. The boat cannot wait for late guests.

The Original experience

  • Check-in: 7:00–8:50 pm
    at the Riverside Bangkok Hotel pier, Thonburi side (Ratchawithi 21 Alley, near Sanghi Bridge)
  • Boarding at the Riverside Bangkok Hotel pier
  • Cruise: 9:00 pm – 1:00 am
    Buffet dinner, free-flow drinks, live band and show along the Chao Phraya
  • Midnight: countdown and fireworks on the river
    Note: the cruise route may change depending on the water level to keep everyone safe.
  • Back at the Riverside Bangkok Hotel pier around 1:00 am
