Celebrate Thailand’s artistic heritage and the timeless splendour of the River of Kings with a 4 Course Saffron signature Set Dinner followed by Petit Four. This 38 metres boat was built in 2019 and brings a combination of modern and traditional influences, stylish touches, award-winning cuisine, live entertainment and several of Bangkok's riverside landmarks illuminated by floodlights to bring out some absolutely stunning night photo opportunities.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Iconsiam, is a mixed-use development on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand. It includes a large shopping mall, which opened to the public on 10 November 2018, as well as hotels and residences. Here is where you will depart for the Saffron Cruise.
2.
Guan Yu Shrine, a historic shrine of the god of war and faithfulness in ancient Chinese beliefs, is one of the first significant places that the boat will pass during the dinner cruise.
3.
Santa Cruz Church is another Catholic Church marking the legacy of Thai – Portuguese relations dating back to the 16th century. The Portuguese were the first Europeans in Thailand who were allowed to reside and trade in the country.
4.
Bangkok's famous palace complex was built in 1782 and features several magnificent buildings including Wat Phra Kaeo (Temple of the Emerald Buddha). At night the compound is illuminated by floodlights resulting in the golden tiled rooftops sparkling beauty.
5.
This temple is considered to be the most famous and photographed temple in Bangkok, which features a soaring 70-meter-high spire decorated with tiny pieces of colored glass and Chinese porcelain. Under floodlights at night it is a jaw-dropping sight!
6.
The Holy Rosary Church, is a Roman Catholic Church built in 1769 by a resettlement of Portuguese Catholics and just further up is China Town which was founded in 1782.
7.
The iconic and impressive bridge is a landmark in Bangkok. The cable-stayed bridge is a feat of modern Thai engineering and the best and closest way to see it is by cruising right underneath it.
8.
Of all 14 forts that were built over 200 years ago to protect Bangkok, only 2 are still standing, including Phra Sumen Fort. The original cannon can still be seen mounted on the upper battlement
9.
Just past the Rama VIII bridge is the Bank of Thailand Museum, which is housed in the Bang Khun Phrom Palace, the former residence of Prince Paribatra Sukhumbandhu, who was the 33rd son of King Chulalongkorn.

From the moment you step on board, everything will amaze you. The hospitality is out of this world. The food and drinks are indescribable. The staff attend to your every need and want, including taking your photo (with a focus on perfect lighting) at every landmark. I don’t think there is anything they could have done better to take care of us.

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.
