The river takes the lead as night falls over Bangkok — lights blink awake along the Chao Phraya and the White Orchid slips from the pier into a corridor of gilded roofs and silhouette spires. Onboard, the buffet hums with Thai and international dishes, traditional musicians tune up, and dancers move through bright fabrics as the city drifts by.
