The temple’s highlight is the ‘Grand Vihara,’ which houses the revered ‘Phra Buddha Trai Rattanayok’ (also known as Luang Pho To), a large seated Buddha image in the Mara Vichai posture. This Buddha image is especially revered among the Chinese community, who refer to it as ‘Sam Po Hud Kong’ or ‘Sam Po Kong.’ The temple complex also includes the ‘Ubosot’ (ordination hall), inside of which is the Buddha image in the Pali Laiyak posture.

Apart from its beauty, the temple is renowned for its Ubosot (ordination hall), which showcases architecture from the era of King Rama I. The Ubosot features Narayana on Garuda images on its gable and houses numerous important wall murals.

  • Phra Pin-klao Bridge - Your dinner cruise will pass by Phra Pinklao Bridge. The Phra Pin Klao Bridge is a continuous prestressed concrete bridge built to alleviate traffic congestion. It was constructed with cooperation from the Japanese government, which assisted in the bridge’s design and survey, as well as provided financial aid to the Thai government through a loan combined with the Thai government’s budget. The bridge was royally named “Somdet Phra Pin Klao Bridge” in honor of King Pinklao, the second king in the reign of King Mongkut, as the area on the Phra Nakhon side of the bridge was once part of the Boromphiman Palace.

  • Rama VIII Bridge - Your dinner cruise will pass by Rama VII Bridge. The bridge’s design and the direction of the royal monument were planned to align with the Earth’s orbit around the sun. On the 21st and 22nd of December each year, at dawn, the sun rises directly in line with the center of the road on the bridge’s eastern side and directly in front of the royal monument. This alignment acts like a marker, indicating the elliptical, retrograde path of the sun when viewed in a two-dimensional plane, following ancient astronomical concepts.

Great family dinner cruise - A great experience from pick up to drop off from our hotel. Our tour guide Pop arrived an hour early to pick us up and patiently wanted for us to arrive back from our day adventures. Traffic is horrible and she wanted to make sure we make it with enough time, unfortunately my phone service even with a Thai sim card wasn't working properly so our communication wasn't good. However she was very positive with smiles ensuring us not to worry. Our transportation was clean and nice with soft seating big enough for 12 people for our group of 6. We were offered water and friendly conversation. On arrival we were dropped off with guide at front entrance, where Pop took us to watch the water show as she went to check us in. The crowd was massive , so it was nice to have a guide get us to front of line. Out dinner table was reserved for top deck near the stage and boat rail, so our views of everything was perfect. I had even in conversation told my guide we were celebrating my birthday, and during birthday song they can to my table with cake and song for me. This was a nice last minute touch our guide did for me. The food was top notch seafood served buffer style. There were a few none seafood options as well,but this is the tour for you if you love seafood. Overall an amazing experience would recommend Pop and this tour.

Wonderful Dinner - Dinner provided onboard the cruise was nothing short of exceptional. The variety of Thai cuisine served was delightful, with a perfect blend of flavors and authentic dishes that catered to every palate. The presentation of the food was equally impressive, showcasing the culinary artistry of the chefs.

Awful ! Terrible ! False advertising ! - I had selected this dinner cruise because it included a Thai Dance. However, after getting onboard we were told that there was NOT going to be a Thai Dance because the cruise had a prevalence of people from India, and therefore they wanted to have a different type of entertainment. This is NO excuse for not complying with the advertised event ! This may be called 'false advertising'. In addition, there was no food for every one ! People were rude an assalted the buffet ! There was no service because the cruise was overcrowded and the few service people were overwhelmed ! I should have received my money back because everything was absolutely horrible ! Never again !!
