Hotels in Riverside, Bangkok

The Riverside district sits on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. It is known for the Grand Palace, Wat Arun, and Wat Pho—all within walking distance of each other. The area is a historic center, contrasting with the modern skyscrapers across the river in Silom and Bang Rak.

River taxis and express boats are the main transport here, connecting to piers like Tha Tien and Tha Chang. Major hotels line the riverfront, offering direct access to these water routes. The district provides a quieter, more cultural base compared to downtown Bangkok’s shopping malls and nightlife.
