The boat eases off the pier and the Chao Phraya takes you into the city’s lit veins—lamps and temple spires catching in the dark like marks on a map. Onboard the Opulence, the open-air rooftop carries the river breeze and the low chords of live music while the skyline slides past: Rama VIII’s lit cables, Wat Arun’s porcelain spires, the glowing edges of the Grand Palace.
