The Bangkok Riverside boasts a rich history and those looking for 5 star hotels in Bangkok in this culturally diverse area can stay at Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa. Ideally located along the Chao Phraya River banks, this luxurious  resort offers a peaceful escape from the city streets and is the perfect place to begin your Riverside adventures. Many of the capital’s most well known attractions can be found along the river banks and no tour would be complete without visiting the Wat Pho which is the city’s oldest temple, the Temple of Dawn and the Grand Palace where you will also find the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. The Royal Barges Museum and the Assumption Cathedral can also be found in the Riverside, while not to be missed is a night time tour when the landscape is illuminated with lights.
