Best Luxury Hotels Near The Chao Phraya River

Bangkok’s bright ebullience makes it a diverse and exciting city break. But if you want the opportunity to commune with nature and escape the intensity, staying in a hotel beside the Chao Phraya River is a great option. This waterway, central to life here (not least in the transport of teak and rice into the capital), provides its neighbouring properties with open views across its width; the chance to see river life up close at all times of the day and night; and proximity to ferries and water taxis — often a swifter and more relaxing method of travel in this ancient metropolis.
