Bangkok River Night Pinball
A free pinball table set on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok at night. Your guide is Nok, whose dad runs a long-tail boat. Ride past the lit temples, cross the Rama VIII Bridge and fill the river with lanterns before Loy Krathong night.
▶ Play the Bangkok table
THE TABLE
The three round bumpers at the top are Bangkok's best-known temples on the river: Wat Arun, the Grand Palace and Wat Pho. Each one is drawn as its roof and spire, and every hit scores and stamps your card.
- Rama VIII Bridge (the ramp): +15,000 each time you cross it. During multiball it pays the jackpot.
- Long-tail boat (the rail on the right): the boat speeds up every time you ride it.
- T-U-K targets: knock down all three letters and the tuk-tuk opens the krathong pier.
- Krathong Pier (the lock): float a krathong here to hold a ball for multiball.
- Riverside wheel (the spinner), the river lights (the top lanes, which raise your multiplier) and the river loop orbit (+30,000).
WHAT MAKES BANGKOK DIFFERENT
- The river current. A band across the middle of the table pushes the ball sideways, like a real river. It changes direction every 12 seconds, and the screen tells you when it turns. Use it to bend a weak shot into a bumper, or wait for it to flow the other way.
- The ferry ride. A river cruise drifts along the bottom of the card. Every 25 seconds it docks and lights up for 8 seconds: hit it then and your ball rides the ferry across the river for +50,000.
- The dinner cruise's wake (level 3 and up). Once a game a big dinner cruise speeds down the river and its waves put out the lanterns on your card, two at once and then one more every 12 seconds. Hit the cruise 3 times to slow it down: every lantern lights again and you get a bonus. Lanterns in a finished bingo line are safe, and saved cards are never lost.
THE JACKPOT IN 3 STEPS
- Knock down T-U-K.
- Shoot the Krathong Pier to lock a ball.
- Lantern multiball starts: every shot over the Rama VIII Bridge scores the jackpot.
THE STORY: 7 CHAPTERS
One chapter opens each night you come back (three on your first night). Each one is a goal from someone you meet on the way. Chapter 7 is the finale: everything scores 5× for 30 seconds.
| Chapter | Who | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| 1. All Aboard | Nok | Welcome aboard! Visit 5 different spots along the river. |
| 2. Wat Arun By Night | Captain Somchai | Wat Arun lights up after dark. Hit it 8 times! |
| 3. Catch A Tuk-tuk | Driver Lek | Need a ride? Knock down the T-U-K targets twice! |
| 4. Long-tail Sprint | Captain Somchai | Hold on tight! Ride the long-tail boat 3 times. |
| 5. Riverside Wheel | Auntie Malee | Spin the riverside wheel 20 times and I'll make you mango sticky rice! |
| 6. Float A Krathong | Nok | Float a krathong at the pier to start the lantern multiball! |
| 7. Loy Krathong Night | Nok | The whole river glows! Everything scores 5× for 30 seconds! |
LEVELS AND ALL 45 CARDS
Every level is a set of 9 cards. Each shot on the table drops the card for that part of the table, and when you have all 9 cards of a level (over as many games as you need) the next level opens with new cards and a bigger playfield. Level 5 is the gold set.
Level 1 · RIVER BINGO
Level 2 · Thai street food
Level 3 · Riverside souvenirs
Level 4 · Loy Krathong
Level 5 · River of gold ✨
TIPS
- Watch the river before you shoot: a shot that would miss can drift into a temple bumper with the current behind it.
- When the ferry lights up, aim for the cruise first. +50,000 is worth more than a few bumper hits.
- From level 3, save a ball for the dinner cruise. Three quick hits on the boat bring every lantern back.
- Chapter 6 needs the pier, and the pier needs T-U-K first. Clear the three letters before you go for the lock.
- Chapter 7 is the finale: everything scores 5× for 30 seconds, so keep the ball near the bumpers.
HOW TO OPEN THIS TABLE
Night Tour Pinball is a night tour from city to city: Taipei, then Singapore, then Seoul, then Bangkok. Clear the last level of Seoul and Bangkok opens. If you arrive from a link before that, you can play one trial game a day on this table: the score counts on the leaderboard, but cards and story are saved only once the city is open.
THE REAL PLACES
The table is drawn from real Bangkok. Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, stands on the west bank of the Chao Phraya; the Grand Palace and Wat Pho face it on the east bank. Long-tail boats and river ferries still carry people up and down the river every day. Loy Krathong, the festival in the last chapter, is held on the full moon of the twelfth Thai month (usually in November), when people float small lotus-shaped krathongs with candles on the water.
