Night settles over Bangkok and the Chao Phraya slips into motion, its surface catching glints from riverside temples and glass towers alike. Boarding the three-deck luxury vessel at dusk, you feel the river nudge and carry you past lit spires, wooden piers and the slow business of the city at night. The rooftop invites open-air viewing; inside, floor-to-ceiling windows put the river on constant display.
