Why Book the Riverside Faraya Halal Dinner Cruise

  • Genuinely halal, not “halal-friendly” – the entire buffet is certified by the Central Islamic Committee of Thailand, so there is no need to ask about a single dish.
  • Completely alcohol-free – no alcohol is served anywhere on board, and no halal-prohibited ingredients are used in the kitchen.
  • Prayer room on board – a designated space is available during the cruise, along with other Muslim-friendly facilities.
  • A stable two-deck catamaran – a wide-body hull makes for a smooth, comfortable ride, with an open-air upper deck for photos.
  • Live music and entertainment throughout dinner as the boat passes Bangkok’s illuminated riverside landmarks.
  • Departs from Asiatique The Riverfront – come early and browse the night market, then simply walk to the pier.
  • Bangkok’s first fully halal-certified dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya, operated by Riverside Bangkok with more than 30 years of river-cruise experience.
