EXPLORE OUR BANGKOK RIVERSIDE HOTEL

Centuries-old temples and glittering new skyscrapers, floating fish markets and luxurious Michelin-starred restaurants, working rice barges and shiny tourist cruises: Bangkok is a city of contrasts and opposites, and nowhere is that more evident than the Riverside. But it would be impossible to understand the Thai capital without exploring the sights along the Chao Phraya, Thailand’s major river, and Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok is the perfect launch point. Hop aboard a water taxi and mingle with locals commuting to work, or book tickets for a luxury cruise that visits the dazzling temples along the water, from Wat Arun to Wat Phra Kaew.
