Unlike most tourist fixtures on the Chao Phraya River, Arena River Cruise (089-123-9647, www.arenarivercruise.com) doesn’t take you on an evening journey filled with Thai food staples.

Embarking from the Asiatique pier daily at 9pm, this 50-seater dinner cruise offers a line of Indian dishes like samosa, tandoori chicken, biryani, naan and curries all the way through to desserts like gulab jamun. The three-hour-long trip also features the sounds of live acoustic Indian music.

The price is B1,250 net per person, excluding beverages. Reservations required.
