How to choose
- Couple or small group, best views: the hacker-craft. The operator requires early booking: its terms do not allow cancellation within 7 days of departure.
- Tight budget, up to 10 people: the long-tail, also for the canals (see Saen Saep canal boat).
- An evening out: the yacht dinner, or the Chao Phraya dinner cruise.
- Just crossing or following the river: the river boat and city bus pass is enough.
Before you book
Ask what the price includes (captain, fuel, taxes), the departure time and the boarding point. The hacker-craft can pass Wat Arun, Asiatique and River City depending on the listing's route. Prices change by date, so check the listing on the day you book.
