The Chang Mai Ping River cruise not recommended

Terry_S, Dec 2024

Be aware. This tour provides a SET menu. You cannot choose anything to eat. An issue if you have allergies to peanuts etc. The spring rolls had little to no filling. And the egg pancake and soup was not appetizing. We never got to the entree. No one explained what was being served. Also, you sit on the boat for an hour and a half and the boat ride is 1 hour, not 2. They hurried to get us there by 6:45pm so the boat would not leave without us, but it was scheduled to leave at 8 pm. We decided to end this tour before the boat departed. If you are in Bangkok I highly recommend the boat cruise. The buildings and temples etc. are lit beautifully and the food selection is very good., service excellent. Hopefully the tour operator in Chang Mai will make adjustments for their boat tour. And we were charged $138.00 for a bad experience.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Dear Terry, Thank you for taking the time to provide such a detailed review of your experience. We're sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations and that several aspects, including the set menu and timing, negatively impacted your evening. However your mistaken. The website does clearly say this is a Thai Set Menu and to advise any dietary requirements before booking. You did not mention that you were indeed on the boat having a complimentary drink before departure. You also did not mention that you asked for a refund and this was also denied by Viator. Thank you again for your review and we are thrilled we can add in the missing information Regards, Paul

Magical cruise!

CJ_M, Dec 2023

Wonderful experience! Cocktails were terrific, and the place (Riverside Restaurant) seems to be famous for them. The cruising view of all the riverside businesses with their lights was magical. Ordering drinks after arriving on the boat put too much pressure on the staff and delayed the launch too long, in my opinion. 'Would be a good idea to pre-order on an app or just serve wine & beer on the boat and let people go to Riverside after the cruise for drinks. The pre-set menu / food was a bit average, but it's the best way to get out onto the water relatively quickly. We got way too close to some kayakers, but they also should have kept an eye out for boats. All in all, I recommend the dinner cruise and would go again.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Dear CJ, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience aboard our Dinner Cruise on the Ping River! We’re thrilled to learn that you enjoyed the picturesque views and delightful dining experience. We’re grateful for your kind words and hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again for another enchanting evening cruise along the Ping River. Thanks again, Nick
