Bangkok is not short on scenic locations for your stay, but there’s something special about staying right by the Chao Phraya River. From stunning riverside views to tranquil cruises, here’s why you should consider staying at any of the riverview hotels in Bangkok.
Mornings with River Views
There’s nothing better than waking up to stunning views of the ‘River of Kings’ bathed in the calm morning light. It makes for the perfect backdrop for enjoying your morning cup of tea, and if you’ve got a private balcony, you’ll have the river’s natural soundtrack to set the tone for a relaxing morning.
Riverside Explorations
Staying by the river also gives you easy access to some of Bangkok’s iconic attractions, such as the Wat Arun and the Grand Palace. Some hotels, like the Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel, even organise tranquil canal tours via long-tail boats for a glimpse of local life by the river banks.
Shopping by the Water
Many of Bangkok’s shopping malls are located by the waterfront, making a shopping spree easily accessible. ICONSIAM is one such top retail haven in the city, but Asiatique The Riverfront offers a charming blend of shopping, entertainment and dining out in the open air.
Indulgent Dinner Cruises
Staying at a riverside hotel in Bangkok also means a luxury dinner cruise is just a few steps away. You’ll get a different perspective of the city’s skyscrapers and temples bathed in that unmistakable golden glow, while enjoying the best cocktails and Thai cuisine in the city.
