The boat slips away from Asiatique the Riverfront and Bangkok rearranges itself in lights—temples and bridges sliding past like illuminated pages. Onboard, the engine’s low thrum keeps time as a welcome drink arrives and the buffet opens: grilled prawns, tom yum, mango sticky rice. Outside, Wat Arun’s prang pierces the night while the Rama VIII Bridge arcs a modern counterpoint.
