About the Activity:
The Loy Nava Dinner Cruise is best enjoyed with the evening lightings along the banks of the Chao Praya River. There are two cruises scheduled at 6 PM in the evening, known as the Sunset Cruise, and 8-10 PM in the night. The 2-hour cruises in the evenings are a fulfilling affair.
The Sunset Cruise, however, tops the charts of the best experience at the Loy Nava Dinner Cruise. Moreover, season-wise, the best time to go for the cruising is from late November to early December. This time, the city of Bangkok starts drying out from the monsoon and the weather is also found pleasant. As the cruise will offer you marvelous landscapes from its decks, never choose monsoon for the experience.
The Loy Nava Dinner Cruise boat is located in the Si Phraya Express Boat Piers, Charoen Krung Road Soi 30 in Bangrak, Bangkok. The passengers have to board the boat from the dock from where they embark on a beautiful and pleasant experience.
The tourists who want to reach the cruise have the exclusive option of scheduled pickups and drop-offs from and to the hotels on Silom Road, Khao San, Pratunam, Sukhumvit Road, and other popular locations of the city. These pickups are scheduled around 1-1.5 hours before the Cruise Journey. A guest might also choose to reach the pier on his own on local taxis.
Since Loy Nava offers a dining cruise experience, it operates after dusk with two schedules which guests can book as per their desire.
- The Sunset cruise operates from 6 PM to 8 PM, which offers a stunning view of the sunset from the Chao Phraya River along with the other mentioned amenities.
- The Evening Cruise operates from 8:10 PM to 10:10 PM and offers a spectacular view of the Bangkok cityscape at night along with other amenities mentioned above.
The Loy Nava Dinner Cruise is an iconic ride along the Chao Praya River on an antique yet luxurious rice barge. The cruise is a two-hour ride along the beautiful banks of Bangkok that offer sights of magnificent landmarks such as the Buddhist Temple of Wat Kalayanamitr, the Temple of Dawn, and the Temple of the Emerald Budhha at the Grand Palace Complex.
While passing beneath the Rama VII Bridge, one can notice how marvelous it is. The cruise also comes adorned with a five-star dining experience, which is included in a package of Thrillophilia. Also, tourists can be engrossed in the tunes of Traditional Thai Music and gracious Classical dance performances while touring by the cruise.
The Loy Nava Dinner Cruise tour comes with certain commitments of service on part of the organizers. These being:
Yes, parking is available. Like all other docks, there are plenty of parking spaces available at the Loy Nava cruise boarding dock. The area is used by private commuters or locals. But, upon choosing a package through Thrillophilia, you will get the pickup and drop-off option. So, parking is not required for the tourists. However, it is to be kept in mind that the parking spaces are paid.
The idea of the Loy Nava Dinner Cruise is to cover a traditional Thai experience in terms of music, performance, and cuisine. As the guests sail through the significant River of Kings experiencing the view of modern and historic Bangkok monuments, offering them a lifetime memory is the utmost priority of the cruise.
To offer this unadulterated experience, Loy Nava Dinner Cruise does not offer a music system or karaoke, instead, there are traditional Thai dance performances and live mellow Khim music onboard.
The seating arrangement is limited onboard. It has 17 tables which can accommodate a maximum of 65 tourists. Unlike any other commercial and crowded river cruise, the Loy Nava Dinner Cruise is a smaller, more mellow river cruise offering traditional Thai cultural experiences through the River of Kings. The journey is coupled with Thai food, dance, and music.
The boat itself is a 30-year-old antique teakwood rice barge that has been altered into a river-faring restaurant. Considering these factors, guests are advised to book their tickets as early as possible to receive confirmed seats. To know the details, you can check the Loy Nava Dinner Cruise Bangkok Price link on Thrillophilia.
