Did you go for the dinner or lunch buffet? I've been to both and I must say that I preferred the lunch buffet by far. The dinner was just so-so and I wasn't impressed by the dance performance.
Lunch is completely different. It was a good introduction to a variety of Thai dishes and everything was delicious. The service was superb and there were staff members always wanting to help us, explain to us what was in each dish, and offered to carry our dishes to our table. You can also have a better view of the river during the daytime.
Lunch is also a lot cheaper.
