Be aware. This tour provides a SET menu. You cannot choose anything to eat. An issue if you have allergies to peanuts etc. The spring rolls had little to no filling. And the egg pancake and soup was not appetizing. We never got to the entree. No one explained what was being served. Also, you sit on the boat for an hour and a half and the boat ride is 1 hour, not 2. They hurried to get us there by 6:45pm so the boat would not leave without us, but it was scheduled to leave at 8 pm. We decided to end this tour before the boat departed. If you are in Bangkok I highly recommend the boat cruise. The buildings and temples etc. are lit beautifully and the food selection is very good., service excellent. Hopefully the tour operator in Chang Mai will make adjustments for their boat tour. And we were charged $138.00 for a bad experience.
Magical cruise!

Wonderful experience! Cocktails were terrific, and the place (Riverside Restaurant) seems to be famous for them. The cruising view of all the riverside businesses with their lights was magical. Ordering drinks after arriving on the boat put too much pressure on the staff and delayed the launch too long, in my opinion. 'Would be a good idea to pre-order on an app or just serve wine & beer on the boat and let people go to Riverside after the cruise for drinks. The pre-set menu / food was a bit average, but it's the best way to get out onto the water relatively quickly. We got way too close to some kayakers, but they also should have kept an eye out for boats. All in all, I recommend the dinner cruise and would go again.
Overall great experience
