This was a truly magical...

This was a truly magical experience! Service was excellent. Helpful staff assisted with boarding and escorted us to our table. The food was elegant, a haute cuisine Thai menu. Each item was described by our waiter and accompanied by soothing Thai music, performed live on the Khim by a lovely Thai hostess in traditional garb. Beautiful views of the illuminated temples, bridges, and royal palace rolled by as we dined.
