2.Pattaya: All Star Dinner Cruise, Cabaret Show & Beer Buffet

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 85 reviews · 1h 30m · from $45

Board the All Star Cruise at Bali Hai Pier for a 90-minute dinner on a Thai teak boat with Shanghai-style design. You’ll get an international, seafood, and Indian buffet, unlimited beer and soft drinks, a cabaret show by transgender performers, disco music, and paid photo opportunities afterward.

“Grauenhaft. Statt 90 min. waren es 60 min. Das Essen vielfach kalt und einfach das billigste vom billigsten. Show eine einzige Abzocke auf Basis der Anmache. Die letzten 20 min. wurden nur damit zugebracht sich mit den Mädels für 100 Baht ablichten zu lassen. Ich kann nur jedem empfehlen die Finger davon zu lassen,- obwohl einigen Chinesen gefällt es”

4.Sunset Cruise-Unlimited Beers-Sodas-BBQ buffet-Fruit platter

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 66 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $9

Meet the Mekong Magic tuk-tuk at your Phnom Penh hotel at 4:30pm, then cruise past stilt homes, fishing boats, the Royal Palace, and the city skyline. Enjoy a welcome sangria, BBQ buffet, fruit, unlimited beer and soft drinks, and sunset views over the Tonle Sap and Mekong.

“The cruise was pretty and the sunset was too. But its worth the cheapest ticket in my opinion and thats it. Paid for the free flowing drinks and dinner but unfortunately the dinner was cold when we were able to eat as it wasnt kept cold. Not much of a variety and not good for people who have a gluten allergy. For the drinks, if you like free flowing beers its perfect!! But if you don’t it’a not worth the premium ticket it my opinion. A once and done experience :) overall I wouldn’t do it again but the staff were lovely!”

7.White Orchid Chao Phraya Cruise, Thai Buffet & Beer

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 14 reviews · 2 hours · from $32

Spend two hours aboard the three-deck White Magnolia, dining on Thai and international seafood while Bangkok’s temples and bridges glow along the Chao Phraya. Choose boarding at ICONSIAM or Asiatique. The 19:00 sailing adds traditional dance, live music, and a cabaret show.

“The dinner and show were value for money and the show was entertaining although a little short. The prior organisation to leaving Iconsaim was however nothing short of chaos. The staff directed the que to push back into a single line. In the dark and wet my partner was pushed back into the Iconsiam water feature, where her evening dress and leather bag and contents was soaked. She was injured on the knee and hip, oblivious to the staff. We quickly had to buy a new outfit. We were not happy!!!”
