How to get to the cruise pier?
Okura Cruise can only be boarded at one Chao Phraya River pier in Bangkok - Asiatique The Riverfront Pier.
Asiatique The Riverfront Pier is one of the busiest cruise piers in Bangkok, as there you can also board other popular Bangkok dinner cruises such as the Chao Phraya Princess Cruise, the White Orchid River Cruise, and the Chao Phraya Cruise.
To reach Asiatique Pier, you need to take a taxi or use a combination of the BTS SkyTrain (Saphan Taksin Station) and the Asiatique free shuttle boat departing from Sathorn Pier.
At Asiatique, the cruise has a private lounge, so you don't need to go to the cruise ticket area, where crowds of other cruise customers gather to check in. The Okura Cruise Welcome Lounge is located close to the Pier 4, where the cruise ship is boarded (see below).
