Thank you for your review,the buffet at sunset is freshly prepared daily and i quite enjoy it as do most visitors, however i will inform the chef and cooks about your review. thanks again Miss Sambo,

thank you so much for your lovely review, i will pass on to our hard working staff and yes i heard the sunsets last night where awesome,even the locals are taking about it, thanks again and safe travel always cheers Peter

thank you for your review on to our sunset special, our guides have mostly been with us now a long time,they are from the very villages we visit giving a great in site into local culture,and activities, we are all very proud of our guides and also staff, all our staff and also from the same villages we visit, yes the Grand Old Queen Tara Riverboat,once a cargo boat plying he Mighty Mekong River she is almost 100 years old so soon will be in a huge celebration and birthday mode

thank you for your feedback, on the price with the cost fuel,foods and fair wages we like most places are having to keep the costs down,i think its a great buffet dinner, as now speaking from my Chef corner, mostly we get great reviews on the quality and selection of the foods, but also recently we did slightly change the menu as now less fried foods and more grilled and Vegetarian options, we also are constantly looking for the right combination on the buffet, we have also increased the fruits to more variety. yes thanks for your mention of unlimited cocktails, all drinks ere free including wines from Australia, and draft beers and spirits ect, yes dimly lit,( most people like this feature can see stars and enjoy lake without light pollution) year she is almost 100 years old,but she is a strong old girl,made from strong steel and recently has a ferrous-cement double hulled so she will be at her best of another 100 years, all safety equipment is on board, we are only 2 boat companies that are fully insured here ,so safety is our main focus cheer

Thank you so much for your lovely review, as a small local company you have made our staffs day for sure, safe travel always and hope to see you again cheers Peter

thank you for your review, very surprised about your comments on the food and general state of the Queen Tara Riverboat, the food is excellent is prepared fresh everyday ,the staff are trained well about food hygiene, we cruise the large Queen Tara when we can, the night before and night after your sunset dinner special we cruised, the only reason we do not advertise we cruise is that the weather sometimes is too rough on the lake or in dry season too low, still we have the best views of the sunset cruise, yes the smaller boats do the actual tour of the floating villages as stated clearly on the websites, please do not guess, we had on your tour 4 people and yes the night before we had 58 people but we never reheat, i was a chef in my early years with the Australian Army, and have worked in many 4 star and 5 star restaurants ,after 20 years of owning the Tara Riverboat, and having personally trained the cooking staff i think the guessing is no longer here, it maybe possible the chicken this is the first time we had a suspect food poisoning, also this is the first time i had a complaint about the food, i will personally have a meeting with all staff about this incident, i would challenge you about the source of the food poisoning as you may suspect this as you can not be certain ,i only wish is to be informed as soon as possible as sometimes i do not check reviews every day, for me this food issue is critical, i have seen real food poisoning in my time at 5 star restaurants and some cases are so bad even flights are impossible, i am not saying we are perfect but i do know the staff well be shocked to learn of this complaint ., so just to be clear, any left over food go to the locals to have ,so whatever foods are left over the staff will drop off at the local floating villages community centre, i hope your friend will be better by now, p.s. having now reached out to other guests on that cruise and also the day before and day after everyone had no issues and food was feedback it was tasty my wife is a Doctor also from Vietnam, she has her Qualifications and practice in Perth Australia, i spoke to her on skype as i am in Cambodia, in her opinion its not always clear where the incident may have occurred so please think about this when posting seriously unproven remarks, i feel this post should also be removed, as we had no rights to respond until a week after such incident ,

Thank you so much for your lovely review,i will pass this on to the guide and staff,safe travel always cheers Peter

Thank you for your lovely review,we are all very excited to welcome guests and really are so pleased when we receive the feedback from our tours,soon our Queen Tara Riverboat will be 100 years young,she has certainly looked after her lovely staff and guests,safe travel always and thanks again cheers Peter
