How to get to the Chao Phraya Princess Cruise pier?
On New Year's Eve 2027, all the Bangkok river cruises that normally depart from ICONSIAM are moved elsewhere. Most of them depart from Terminal 21 Rama 3 Pier, which is located far from the city center with no city train lines passing nearby. Therefore, the only reasonable way to get there on New Year's Eve is by taking a Bangkok taxi.
Book a hotel near the cruise pier
If you choose the cruise departing from Terminal 21 Rama 3 Pier, staying close to it on New Year's Eve makes even more sense, as there's no convenient public transportation nearby.
To ensure that your New Year's Eve cruise experience is smooth, stay at the nearby Montien Riverside Hotel (also check the special offer for the hotel on Agoda).
