The riverside in Bangkok is one of the city’s coolest places. Literally – the breezes from the water are welcome during sweltering days and nights.

Bangkok riverside is also a great place to chill out in style, with a diversity of excellent restaurants and bars offering outstanding views alongside amazing food. Here are our picks of the best places to make the most of the Chao Phraya River’s views and food.
Hotels in Chinatown cater to all budgets, from backpacker to luxury seeker. Chinatown is the multicultural district in the center of Bangkok – a busy, bustling place with Yaowarat Road running through the neighborhood. It’s the home of Bangkok’s large Chinese community, with Indian settlers also in abundance. During the day the area doesn’t stand out much from the rest of Bangkok but with the neon signs lit at night and the street stalls serving wonderful delicacies, this is a place not to be missed.
