Since it's very hot in Bangkok during the day, I'll share some night tour tips first. Next time, I'll share some food, spa, and birthday wish tips. 📅Night Tour Tips 1. Wonderful Pearl Cruise (18:00–21:30) The cruise takes you on a night tour of the Chao Phraya River, passing by the Grand Palace, Wat Arun, and ICONSIAM (a high-end shopping mall in Bangkok). There is a buffet and performances on the cruise. The food is okay, not bad but not amazing. The river view is worth the ticket price. You need to book in advance. We booked half a month in advance, and it cost about CNY 290 per person. Ticket checks start at 18:00, and the cruise starts at 19:30. 2. Muay Thai (19:00–21:00) Make sure to buy tickets in advance on the platform! We bought first-class seats for CNY 188 per person. You can't bring food inside, but during each intermission, there are people selling snacks and soda. Since we don't know much about boxing, we just enjoyed the lively atmosphere and left an hour early. 3. Golden Dome Cabaret Show (1 hour, 11:00–22:00) We bought VIP seats for CNY 160 per person, which were very close to the stage, and there was interaction (but the whole hall is not big, so if you don't want interaction, regular tickets are fine). Most of the people in the VIP area were men and couples, so when the dancers came down to interact with the audience and saw me and my best friend, they were obviously surprised. The performance was wonderful, and the performers were very dedicated. Some of them were really beautiful! There were many Chinese people in the audience, and I didn't see any locals... 4. Banyan Tree Moon Bar It's on the 29th floor of the hotel we stayed at. The drinks were good, and the atmosphere was great. We happily ordered a drink each and then went downstairs to sleep. It was very windy on the nights we went, so the terrace was closed. 🏨Accommodation: We stayed at the Banyan Tree Bangkok for CNY 1,200 per night. The view and service were great, and the concierge was very enthusiastic about helping us with our luggage. Considering the tipping culture, I quickly went to my bag to get some cash, but when I looked up, the concierge had already left. The complimentary essential oils smelled great. 💗Travel Tips: We mostly used Grab, but there is a rush hour in Bangkok from 5 to 7 pm, so there will be traffic jams. Some tuk-tuks overcharge, so be careful.

#Chao Phraya River Cruise Experience the grandeur and tranquility of the Chao Phraya River on the luxurious Wonderful Pearl Cruise 🛳️ #WonderfulPearlCruise. The cruise ship is three stories high and can accommodate up to 600 passengers. It is incredibly spacious and serene, with two air-conditioned lower decks and a third open-air deck for those who want to feel the breeze and capture stunning photos 📸. The buffet-style food is diverse and delicious, featuring a variety of international cuisines 🍲, savory dishes 🍰, sweet treats 🥗, and fresh seafood 🦐. The Japanese cuisine is especially noteworthy, as it is freshly prepared and replenished throughout the two-hour cruise. Don't worry about taking photos before eating, as there is plenty of food and no rush. Each deck has its own food line, so there won't be any confusion or crowding.

On both sides of Bangkok's Chao Phraya River, there are various classic landmark buildings, such as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Grand Palace, the Peninsula Hotel, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, and the Rama I Bridge. At night, these buildings are adorned with gorgeous lights, becoming even more splendid and colorful. There are two ways to enjoy a night tour of the Chao Phraya River. The first is to walk along the riverbank at night and experience the unique scenery of the Bangkok riverside. Because Bangkok is quite hot and the riverbank is relatively humid, there are many mosquitoes, so remember to bring a bottle of mosquito repellent when walking. Bangkok has many types of cruise ships, among which the representative ones are the Grand Pearl, the White Orchid, and the Chao Phraya Princess. The cruise usually starts at 19:00 and ends at 21:30, with a total duration of 2.5 hours. The Chao Phraya Princess is an upgraded version of the Grand Pearl, and is considered the newest and most luxurious cruise ship on the Chao Phraya River. It has fountains and elevators, and was previously ridden by actor Eddie Peng in the movie Operation Mekong.
