Set beside the Chao Phraya River on Bangkok’s west bank, Anantara Riverside feels tucked away yet close to the action. You reach the resort in about an hour from Suvarnabhumi and about 45 minutes from Don Muang. Skip traffic and take the complimentary shuttle boat to Saphan Taksin Skytrain station for quick access to the city. You can link from the Airport Rail Link to the BTS. Riverside Plaza sits within walking distance of shops and supper.

Your room feels like a calm hideaway above the gardens or river. You wake to soft light on the balcony. You spot long boats on the Chao Phraya or palms by the pool. Thai touches meet clean lines, keeping the space fresh. Pick a family room for extra beds or a suite for more lounge space. Order breakfast, then head out or stay in and reset. At night, you drift off to hush.

Mornings feel unhurried in the riverside gardens. Walk shaded paths and listen to birds over the water. Join a Thai cooking session, then learn fruit carving or flower garland craft for a keepsake. Pause for iced tea on the terrace and watch longtail boats slip past. At sunset, take photos from the jetty and linger with a slow drink. Evenings suit quiet chats, soft music, and a gentle river breeze.

Step into the gardens and find facilities suited to a resort pace. Anantara Spa offers steam rooms, a salon, and nine treatment rooms for calm rituals. The 24-hour fitness centre includes a sauna and steam room. Swim from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm, then relax in the Jacuzzi. Book floodlit tennis or try the Muay Thai ring. Kids settle at The Chang Noi Club. Use the shuttle boat to Saphan Taksin.

Dinner sets the mood here, with the river as your backdrop. Start with coffee and cake at Mocha and Muffins, then move to The Market for a calm breakfast spread. Book a teppan table at Benihana for theatre and flame. Keep it classic with pasta at Brio. Sip a rum blend at Trader Vic's. For open-air Thai grills, choose Riverside Terrace or Longtail by the River. Save one night for Manohra dining on the water.

Celebrate a birthday or anniversary with the river as your stage. Book a long table at Riverside Terrace for Thai grills and live rhythm. Choose Manohra for dinner on the water with soft lantern light. Plan a garden toast before dusk, then move to cocktails at Trader Vic’s. The team can arrange flowers, cakes, and a private corner. Your photos capture palm shade, gold light, and Bangkok sparkle for the keepsake album.
