Explore Bangkok’s illuminated landmarks by river

Embark on a memorable 2-hour outing along the Chao Phraya River aboard the Smile Riverside Cruise. As the sun sets and the city lights begin to shine, find a seat on the open-air deck and watch as some of Bangkok's most majestic sites glide by. Admire the gold-lit spires of Wat Arun, the elegant structure of Rama VIII Bridge, and the Grand Palace illuminated along the riverbanks. Be sure to have your camera ready as you pass under bridges and spot the stupa-shaped pagodas glowing at night. The cruise route includes stops and views of Asiatique The Riverfront, Wat Kalayanamit, Wat Pho—the famed home of the Reclining Buddha—and several other renowned attractions.
