Have you ever been to a mall that combines the amazing wonders of architecture and history along with shopping? In Asiatique, Bangkok, you find all that and more amidst a breathtaking riverside setting. All new and vibrant, Asiatique the Riverfront has made its mark as the cities top entertainment destination.


The most fascinating part about Asiatique is its design which penetrates into Bangkok’s deep rooted history. At the time of King Rama V’s reign, the city was just a riverside trading post. This fact is beautifully portrayed in the building which resembles a traditional pier with a number of warehouses in it. Moreover its existence on the once Danish East Asiatic Company which had a rich historical architecture adds to its age old appearance. The remnants are well preserved by the Asiatique Riverside. The Mall comes to life just when the sun is finding its way down; that’s right, Asiatique is a night market that opens from 5pm to midnight and is clung on to by locals as a much needed replacement to the recently departed Suan Lum Night Bazaar. Asiatique tries hard to fill the Suan Lum void by offering attractions like the Joe Louis Puppet theatre and Calypso, famous at the Suan Lum Night Bazaar. All this and more ensures a huge crowd visits Asiatiqe day after day.

Asiatique has four primary zones all of which are packed with shops, restaurants, bars and even a few spas. The mall has an interesting modern feel with the essence of the yesteryears. It is an interesting place not just to shop, but also makes a popular hang-out spot where you can grab a couple of bites and simply enjoy yourself. It gives a whole new sparkle to the beautiful Chaya Phraya River and makes a vibrant option for you to spend the night.

A perfect place to crash in after exploring Asiatique is the Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa. Located right across the mall, it has an array of attractions at the river itself. The view from this Bangkok Resort is truly remarkable. Making one of the finest of 5 star hotels in Bangkok, the Anantara Riverside is designed to pamper you like royalty.
