10 Affordable Hotels on the Bangkok Riverside
Bangkok’s riverside often feels out of reach for budget-conscious travellers, but it doesn’t have to be. Over the years, we’ve stayed in quite a few hotels along the Chao Phraya, and some of them turned out to be surprisingly affordable.
Tonkatsu Aoki
Tonkatsu AOKI just opened at Velaa Sindhorn Village, and it’s already drawing queues every day, especially at lunch and weekends. I dropped by recently and waited almost 40 minutes before getting a table — and even then, it was a tight squeeze inside.
Baannok Bangkok
Baannok Bangkok on Langsuan Road is one of those places we keep going back to. It’s tucked away on the second floor of Vivre Langsuan, right across from Portico, but it feels more like someone’s living room than a city restaurant.
Baan Langsuan Restaurant
Baan Langsuan is one of those places that’s easy to miss, but once you’ve been, it stays with you. Set inside a restored white wooden house on Langsuan Road, just a few minutes’ walk from Chit Lom BTS, it looks more like someone’s home than a restaurant.
The Pickwick Chronicles
The Pickwicks Chronicles doesn’t look like much from the street — a dark, slightly mysterious building on Langsuan Road with a name that sounds more like a secondhand bookshop than a bar.
Sartoria by Chef Paulo Airaudo
Sartoria by Paulo Airaudo is a hidden gem perched on the 56th floor of Bangkok’s Empire Tower, offering a unique Italian fine-dining experience. Despite its unassuming entrance, the restaurant reveals an elegant setting with panoramic views of the city skyline and Bang Krachao Island.
The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok
The Ritz-Carlton at One Bangkok is the latest name to watch in the capital’s growing collection of ultra-luxury stays. It opened in 2024, and the place feels more like a sleek private residence than a typical hotel.
Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok
Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok is located at a prime location on Langsuan Road near Lumpini Park. Each of its 362 rooms, including 131 serviced residences, offers a stylish blend of Thai traditional motifs and modern design. The hotel boasts a luxurious spa, an infinity pool in a tropical garden setting, and a pet-friendly policy.
Louk In Louk Jaan
Louk In Louk Jaan is a new restaurant on Langsuan Road, tucked inside Langsuan Road, and it’s already making an impression. This smaller, more casual branch comes from the team behind Saneh Jaan, the Michelin-listed Thai fine dining restaurant just around the corner at the Sindhorn Building.
The Never Ending Summer Restaurant
Never Ending Summer is one of the most stylish restaurants along the Chao Phraya River (Thonburi side), set inside a beautifully repurposed warehouse just next to Millennium Hilton, and not far from IconSiam.
Pratunam Market
Pratunam Market is a massive shopping area located on Phetchaburi Road, Bangkok, right opposite Platinum Fashion Mall.

Nusara Restaurant
Nusara is one of the best dinners we’ve had in Bangkok for a long time. Chef Ton, a long-time friend, created this restaurant as a tribute to his grandmother, who inspired his love for Thai cooking.
Sathorn, Bangkok
Sathorn is a central district in Bangkok that runs from the edge of Lumpini Park and the new One Bangkok lifestyle complex all the way to the Chao Phraya River. It’s known for its tall office buildings, luxury hotels, embassies, and rooftop bars, but the area also has a more local side.
TRIBE Sky Beach Club
TRIBE Sky Beach Club is one of the newest rooftop bars in Bangkok and probably the most surprising one I’ve seen in a long time. It’s not just a rooftop — it’s a rooftop beach.

Langsuan Dining Guide
Langsuan Road in Bangkok has transformed into one of the city’s most fashionable dining streets over the past few years. Once a quiet area with offices and residences, it now features a vibrant collection of restaurants.
Avani Plus Riverside Bangkok Hotel
Avani Plus Riverside Bangkok Hotel is a modern city sanctuary located on the banks of Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River. The fashionable 5-star hotel has 250 rooms and suites, each providing unobstructed river views from floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel’s pièce de résistance is its dazzling 28-meter rooftop infinity pool on the 26th floor, with panoramic views of Bangkok’s skyline that take your breath away.
Le Du Kaan Rooftop
Le Du Kaan, on the 56th floor of The Empire Tower in Bangkok’s Silom district, is a remarkable dining experience that combines panoramic city views with creative Thai cuisine.
