Really crappy service. Received email to get there an hour early. Got there an hour early and the staff was not there. Also the sommelier doesn't know how to spell. No port wine to end the meal. Was assigned seating without being asked if we had any preferences. They simply don't know how to do a luxury dinner cruise. Very amateur.

Food was good. More elegant then the other buffet choices however some of the buffet boats look fun if your in the mood for a livelier crowd.

I didn't like how there was no I formation while on the boat. It would be nice to be told to eat dinner right away so you have time to go to top deck to see the historical sights. Would be nice to have someone explaining the significance of each landmark.

A bit too pricey for what you actually get.

The Saffron Cruise was booked for us by Banyan Tree whilst we were recently staying there.

The boat is more modern compared to the previous one used for the Chao Phraya River dinner cruise and now benefits from an air-conditioned dining room in which was served the fantastic Saffron menu, a great version of contemporary Thai cuisine set against the backdrop of the Bangkok night time skyline.

After-dinner drinks can be taken on the upper deck for great photos.

Why not 5 star? Trying to find the check-in area amongst the thousands of tourists there for lunar new year was incredibly difficult and then Banyan Tree did not book transport to get us back to the hotel. Luckily one of the boat's staff was able to help but it still took an hour to get us a car when they should have had one ready and waiting for the boat's return to the pier knowing how busy the area would be.

I enjoyed my experience. I suggest book in advance for Christmas time as it gets booked up quickly. It was a very beautiful experience from start to finish. Beautiful scenery at night so next time I am in Bangkok will go back on the cruise. I loved the Thai gin so nice and the food was amazing.

Excellent dinner cruise with top class food. All staff are very friendly & also offered to take photos for all guests on board. This cruise departs from iconic Siam pier 2. Overall a lovely relaxing night & we highly recommend it

Cruise is very nice. One of the more exclusive what I heard. A relatively small group of guests. Ship is perfect. Staff is very friendly and pro active.
Being foodies we were a little disappointed in the food. Its good, but not very special.

I was glad that this would be a more intimate dinner vs the big party ones but that is all I knew before going and many other things about the experience ended up exceeding any expectations I had!

I’ll admit I was a bit worried about a preselected menu for my own personal reasons. But the staff at check in explained everything so well and asked questions about possible allergies, if I needed vegetarian options, even if spicy was okay. I was also given a QR code so I could look at the menu beforehand. The food itself was amazing; especially for someone like me who is a big lover of seafood.

The timing of everything (moving below, eating, and then moving back up) was also organized very well. Nothing felt rushed or restrictive and we even had some perfect timing like a fireworks display when we went back up for pictures!

The staff was so warm & helpful; they even asked about certain things before I had thought of it for instance when it was time to take pictures of landmarks I was asked several times if I wanted help with my picture since I was alone. The staff was even carrying lighting so the night pictures were clearer.

I feel like if I let myself list out everything that exceeded my expectations about the experience it will be much too long for anyone to want to read but those were a few stand out things for me. I cannot recommend this dinner cruise enough and I already have to any friends & family that will listen.

We were looking forward to a lovely dinner cruise and expected quality for the amount of money it cost. The food was lovely, the drinks were overpriced and difficult to come by (as the waiters were not really 'waiting') and then the 'DJ' came on with doof doof music - not at all in line with the dinner cruise we were hoping for - more like a tacky disco boat. No one seemed to be enjoying the music and what made it worse is that we were sitting directly under the speaker - so we could not talk with our friends.

The service provided by Munoch on the Saffron Cruise was perfect. My family did enjoy the meal and the cruise. The 3hr tour made us really really relaxed. Strongly recommend that visitors to Bangkok could come to experience the cruise.
