What to Do on Bangkok Riverside

Bangkok Riverside is the most attractive part of Bangkok and every visitor should go around there one day, or even better book a hotel on the river bank. The Chao Phraya River has several famous temples: Wat Pho, Wat Arun and The Grand Palace with the famous Wat Phra Kaew. There are two famous places for visitors to shop and enjoy: Asiatique The Riverfront, a night market with many restaurants and a Ferries Wheel, and IconSiam, one of the largest shopping malls in Bangkok.

There are many great hotels by the river, some very luxurious like the Mandarin Oriental and the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok, and some more affordable like the Riva Arun Bangkok near the famous Khao San Road. We often spend time by the riverside to enjoy restaurants with views and some of Bangkok’s most beautiful rooftop bars.
