My sister was also thrilled and said that the food was fantastic and the Thai female performers were the best with their perfect dance steps of the local dances. She had felt enchanted with dramatic views of the temples from the cruise ship.

She joined other tourists when almost everyone was on their feet dancing to the high octave music during the return journey of the cruise. "It was really unforgettable life time experience," she said adding that the night view of the Grand Palace were great.

In Bangkok, the business of cruise dinners is a part of tourism economy since the city is located on the two banks of the River Chao Phraya with its low alluvial plain at the capital city before falling into the Gulf of Thailand.

In Bangkok, the River Chao Phraya is also a major transportation waterway, with a well-developed network of river buses, ferries, and water taxis. Several boat lines operate on the rivers and canals of the city with well-coordinated commuter lines.

The floating market and boats in canals fed by Chao Phraya River also attract tourists and  piled with tropical fruit and vegetables, fresh, coconut water and local food cooked from floating kitchens located right on the boat.  The guided boat tour of Damnoen Saduak, Bang Ku Wiang Market, Tha Kha, and Damnoen Saduak markets are enjoyed by the visitors and tourists and hardly any locals are seen visiting these markets, it is told.
