Wat Arun, on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok

We have compiled a list of hotels that are located along the famous Chao Phraya river in Bangkok.

The famous "River of Kings", the Chao Phraya runs through Bangkok and was the lifeblood of the city in times past.

Once known as the Venice of the East, the Bangkok riverside reflects a constantly changing scene with taxi boats gently transporting passengers, rice barges being towed laden with goods and local trading boats, against a backdrop of glittering temples and modern warehouses.

The riverside area also contains some of Bangkok's most prestigious hotels, from the legendary The Oriental, now called the Mandarin Oriental, which is consistently named "Best Hotel in the World" in various surveys to the Peninsula, another classic hotel of Asia, and the Shangri-La, and Royal Orchid Sheraton.

Taking a romantic dinner cruise on one of the restored teak boats is a must for any visitor to Bangkok.

All hotels listed on this page are located directly on the Chao Phraya River, many with private piers and complimentary boat transfers to public transportation, though they are also accessible by road.
