This guide is for Muslim tourists seeking a dinner cruise in Bangkok. Muslims are warmly welcomed in Thailand, though finding halal-certified dining options can be challenging as it is not a Muslim-majority country. Our survey indicates that no dinner cruises have received halal certification yet, but many can be categorized as "Muslim-friendly." We hope this guide will be helpful for Muslim travelers who wish to enjoy a dinner on the Chao Phraya River.

In Thailand, The Central Islamic Council of Thailand's Standard is the reference for qualifying Halal restaurants. The requirements for Halal restaurants are outlined in The Central Islamic Council of Thailand Act (BE2540), clause 39, which covers the standards for Halal restaurants, kitchens, and food services.

While Thailand welcomes visitors of all faiths, the majority of its population follows Buddhism. Because of this, all Bangkok dinner cruises don't offer Halal food options yet. However, we understand the importance of Halal food for Muslim guests and are happy to share that some cruises are working towards Halal certification.

While we don't have a fully Halal-certified dinner cruise yet, we understand the importance of accommodating Muslim guests. Many cruise companies are working hard to create a welcoming environment. We've interviewed and assessed each cruise based on its Muslim-Friendly level and provided details in the image above.

Iconsiam, the renowned luxury shopping mall along the Chao Phraya River, is home to several Muslim-friendly dinner cruise operators. These cruises cater to the needs of Muslim guests, offering a welcoming and enjoyable experience.
