For our final night in Thailand and Bangkok after an epic 2-month trip, we decided to experience a dinner cruise along the river. What we didn’t expect was the chaos at Icon Siam just to get our boarding tickets!
After a bit of a wait, we finally managed to get our pass and saw some beautiful boats arriving to pick up passengers—exactly what we had pictured. But when our boat turned up… it was nothing like the photos. A completely different vessel—dated and uninspiring.
Inside, the mid-deck looked dated and dull, and I wouldn't recommend sitting there if you want to enjoy the experience. We were thankfully given outdoor seats, though we ended up right at the front of the bow. At first, it seemed like a great spot—but there was barely any lighting, and we couldn’t see or hear any of the entertainment. It was pretty disappointing.
Luckily, we were eventually moved to a much nicer spot upstairs at the front. The food wasn’t anything special, and the buffet scene was chaos—like people hadn’t eaten in days!
The saving grace? Free beer on tap—and we made the most of it! Despite the “interesting” entertainment, we still managed to have a fun final night.
