There are numerous options to choose from when it comes to dining events on Bangkok’s Chao Phraya river, but the standards have risen by more than a few notches with the launch of Apsara’s dinner cruise experiences.
Newly built in a style reminiscent of classical Asian rice barges, Apsara is more than just a boat—it’s a journey into the heart of Thai heritage. Combining history and modernity with luxurious teakwood and stunning works by renowned artist Nakrob Moonmanas, it offers a graciously elegant dining room and a sleek second-floor deck that’s perfect for those sundowner drinks and the famously stunning views from the river.
It must be said that with some of these cruises, the food itself can be an afterthought. But once again Apsara creates a new high standard with its exemplary four-course Thai set menu, designed by accoladed chef Chophet Panklat. There are surprises and flavour bombs in every bite and they’re complemented by superb premium wines, chosen from all over the world including Thailand. To complete the experience, there’s contemporary live music, setting the tone for a magical evening. The Aspara is available for individual bookings as well as private charters.
