Select the boat of your choice

Out of different types of boats that offer different services, guests can select any boat of their preference. There are five types of Express Boat River Taxis. It is the flag colour in each boat that decides the route of the journey and where to stop. The best way to capture the Bangkok riverside by night is to travel with River Cruises while enjoying a candlelit dinner.
