Who would have thought? Starbucks and luxury afternoon tea! Isn’t this a bit of a stretch for a coffee place known for quick drinks?
Maybe they’re just trying to expand their brand. A cruise sounds like a cool idea though.
I guess so, but it feels like they’re stepping out of their lane, don’t you think?
Starbucks may surprise you; they have a wide selection of teas. Maybe they’ll pull this off with style!
Hmm, I just can’t get over the price. Almost 2,000 THB for tea? Seems quite extravagant, don’t you think?
If the experience matches the price, why not? You get premium service and a view!
Totally agree, Joanna. I’m more about function over unnecessary luxury. I’d rather have a nice meal somewhere else.
Exactly, Sue. I’m just not convinced it’s value for money. What could be so special?
OMG, this sounds amazing! I can’t wait to book my spot.
I’ve been on a similar cruise before, and I have to admit it was one of the best experiences! The view alone is worth it.
Seems like another gimmick to get tourists’ money. Overhyped and overpriced, if you ask me.
Isn’t it great that the ingredients are locally sourced? Supporting local farmers is a big plus for me!
Absolutely! It’s fantastic to see big brands making an effort to use local, sustainable ingredients. We need more of this.
I’ve done luxury tea in London; Bangkok seems like a unique backdrop. Has anyone tried local specialties on board?
Thai tea is a must-try! And the artisanal jams sound intriguing. I’m excited about the local twist to traditional high tea.
Good to know! I’ll make a mental note to try those. Thanks for the info!
Honestly, vegan Sirithai ice cream on a riverside tea cruise sounds pretentious. Where’s the authenticity?
Why does it have to be pretentious? It’s about offering variety! Finally, something delicious I can enjoy without guilt.
Does anyone know how this compares to having afternoon tea at a traditional café in Bangkok?
Sounds like a dream, but I’m more curious about the crowd. Is it going to be packed with tourists?
Tea by the river with iconic views? Count me in! Hope it’s not too crowded though.
Good point about the crowd. I love the idea but hate being crammed on a busy boat.
Yeah, I guess it’s a risk with popular attractions! But sometimes the experience makes it worth the hassle.
Thai tea infused with local flavors matched with a scenic cruise sounds divine! Curious how they’ll pair it with desserts.
Skeptical about Starbucks handling this cruise, but let’s see how it unfolds. Promises… Promises…
It might be refreshing to see them take on something classic like afternoon tea. Could set a new trend!
Maybe. I suppose it’s all about execution. I’ll wait for reviews before judging.
I’d go just for the Instagram shots. I mean, the idea alone sounds so photogenic!
Considering the economic situation, this feels like a tone-deaf offering. Let’s focus on real issues, Starbucks.
I get your point, but sometimes people need an escape. Luxury experiences can boost local tourism, believe it or not.
When did Starbucks become so fancy? From Frappuccinos to afternoon tea cruises! LOL
Sounds perfect for a special occasion. Maybe an anniversary or a birthday bash!
Great idea! Surprising my partner on board would be memorable.
