Nothing much with the river ride, they Called it The Venice of the East. The river was brown, they will let you buy fish food. the long tailed boats are safe. It gets boring once you see a couple of view its the same till the end of the ride. But overall it's worth the experience.

Lots to see, river taxi, dinner cruises. Don't miss seeing the War at dusk

Can't say all of it is the cleanest or most well kept of areas, but there are many interesting places and things to do around the Chao Phraya like moonlight dinner cruises, China Town and afternoon Tea at the Mandarin Hotel, which happens to be consistently one of the TOP 10 Hotels in the world.

Great cruise, got to see heaps all the old homes on the riverbanks, just hanging in there and the new mansions. Fed the fish, went under the great bridges etc. Really had a great trip.

My daughter and I took a longboat ride from our hotel on the riverfront. It was so interesting to see how people have built their homes over the river and how they live.

This was a dinner cruise and the food was not great but the views of the temples and buildings showing their glory in lights was beautiful. If you can skip dinner and just take a cruise it would be a better choice and have dinner on the pier.

I had the chance to go on the river cruise and i ts one of the best things i did in Thailand don't miss it

Went on a cruise on the Chao Phraya River one evening. There really wasn't too much to look at! We did go by Wat Arun (temple) and it was beautiful, all lit up.. also the Grand Palace and the Rama 8 Bridge.. but overall, it wasn't that exciting!
