Supanniga Cruise : Chao Phraya River Cruise

5 Hip Local-Approved Thai Restaurants in Bangkok

"Sunset cruises along Bangkok’s iconic Chao Phraya can sometimes veer into cheesy territory. But that's not the case with the Supanniga Cruise, which is helmed by the same people behind the well-received Supanniga Eating Room. Start with a glass of perfectly chilled Tattinger Champagne upon boarding this cozy 40-seat ferry before settling in for a six-course family-style feast of seasonal Thai fare based on traditional recipes. Some hard-to-find dishes include Pu Jah (blended crab and pork steamed in crab shells) and Moo Cha Muang (pork stewed with rare Cha Muang leaves). One surprise hit is the humble “Son-In-Law” eggs, rarely served in Thai restaurants but a beloved dish among locals, many of whom have fond memories of eating these at home as kids. The secret lies in is its flavor bomb of a sweet, sour and slightly spicy sauce that is slathered generously over fried hard-boiled eggs—it is a perfect condiment for white rice too. Plus, there is also a lounge at the back of the boat that offers stunning panoramic views of the sunset over the river." - Karen Tee
