Dinner cruise - We were in Bangkok for a week and decided to do this excursion as part of our holiday in Bangkok.
The cruise was rather crowded but getting on and off was not an issue. Entertainment was good and guest interactive, which is always nice to experience.
Food was mediocre at best but lots of variety. Beer was flowing and included. A definite must do.

Great cost-benefit - The boat ride is good and the buffet has good options. It has a great cost-benefit. The show is fun. The only reservation is that the ride is very short - ends very quickly

Ride purely for the views - As other reviews have said, the food was passable and the entertainment was okay-- there's so many people per boat that it gets quite loud and the buffet line gets hectic. The only reason to book this trip is the cruise -- which was quite a nice tour of a short segment of chaos praya river including the wat pho, wat Arun, and the grand palace. If there are cheaper boats you can take down the chao praya, do that instead of paying extra for this cruise and subpar food

Eat before you go..!! - Booked this evening dinner on the river to enjoy the sites with my wife. Having got to the venue quite early and into the queue, we watched the white orchid come in and looked forward to getting a nice table on the open top deck as looked lovely, but upon boarding we were taken by staff to a small wooden table in the middle of the middle deck, not at a window!! Pre allocated seating!! So….already disappointed, we joined the vast rabble for food as soon as the boat began to sail. We shouldn’t have bothered, the salad was warmer than the hot food!! Honestly, every item of ‘hot’ food was stone cold. So we decided on where to eat after, and just enjoyed a beer or two. Thankfully we were allowed to head out on deck to the front of the boat, and were able to take in the stunning views along the chao phraya river and some gorgeous photos.
In short, don’t think you will sit in a seat of your choice, and have a nice dinner before you board. The sites up and down the river are beautiful for photos and this is the only positive….

A Literal Sinkhole for Your Time and Money - If you are looking for a relaxing evening with great food and views, keep looking. The White Orchid Dinner Cruise was a disorganized, claustrophobic "tourist trap" that failed on almost every level.
The Chaos Starts at the Pier
The lack of organization is staggering. We waited in line for two hours, only to watch latecomers cut the entire queue and board ahead of us while staff did absolutely nothing. There is zero crowd control or respect for those who show up on time.
Zero Comfort, Zero Privacy
Once on board, don't expect a "romantic" or "private" dinner. The tables are packed so tightly together that you can’t move, let alone have a private conversation. It felt less like a cruise and more like being crammed into a cafeteria.
The "Buffet" Mess
The boat is so overcrowded that the buffet becomes a total free-for-all. It’s messy, loud, and stressful. To make matters worse, the food was mediocre at best. For a cruise in Bangkok, there was almost no Thai food available except for some basic Pad Thai.
A Sensory Overload (In a Bad Way)
The noise level is unbearable. Between the so called "singer" and the general lack of acoustics, the music is so loud you can’t even hear yourself think. The atmosphere was so hectic and noisy that it was impossible to actually enjoy the beautiful river views.
The Bottom Line: Save your money and your sanity. This is a poorly managed operation that prioritizes volume over value. Avoid at all costs.

Avoid - Tried to get on this before but was full so we went on the Chao Phraya Princess which was excellent we enjoyed it so much booked this this one for the following day.
Left to stand for ages made as it was very late. Made to sit on inside so no chance to take photos. Drinks only beer included when it clearly states on their web site hard liquor is the only one you pay extra for, not true wine and soft drinks not included so kids don’t get a drink. Food ran out in ten minutes and was terrible. Seafood was on the upper deck only and was only prawns which I decided to avoid. Everything was self service which was a nightmare as they pack out all 3 decks! Beer was warm and flat as it was self service yet again from Kilmer jars.
Entertainment last just over half an hour and was awful the reason for its sudden end they then moved to another deck to repeat it! Singing apart from one lady boy was dreadful. It was cringey they had audience up to sing wasn’t aware I’d paid for karaoke! They also had people up dancing which was not child appropriate as it was lewd and prerogative.
Bar closed 45 minutes before the end. You are then frog marched to pay which they also got wrong so had to do this twice meaning two card fees.
The whole thing was charros with people wondering around the whole night.
Despite leaving late still went back at the same time. Leaving everyone was rushed.
The difference between time on on Chao Phraya Princess the day before was unbelievable on there you got
Excellent fast table service
Yes you paid for drinks but they were extremely cheap had 6 large pitchers and a bottle of decent wine under £50.
Food did not run out
Loads of choice for seafood
Sat outside able to take great photos
Entertainment was fabulous and went on for about 1 and half hours
Had the best night on the princess can’t say this about the White Orchard it was the worst evening out I have ever had if I could have left I would have!!!!
No dress code either please save your money and go on Chao Phraya to have the best night out rather than this one which will be your worst.
Everyone was complying
Avoid
