Start your journey by exploring Bangkok’s historic heart. The Grand Palace, a stunning architectural marvel, is a must-visit. Inside, you’ll find the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), which shelters one of Thailand’s most important Buddha relics. A short walk away is Wat Pho, home to the famous reclining Buddha, and Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn, which offers a panoramic view of the Chao Phraya River. These temples offer a glimpse into Thailand’s spiritual and royal history, making them a perfect first stop that’s easily reached from hotels in Bangkok Riverside.

Experience Bangkok’s Vibrant Markets
No trip to Bangkok is complete without visiting its lively markets. Start with Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the largest in the world, offering everything from clothes and souvenirs to antiques and street food. For a more cultural experience, head to Yaowarat in Chinatown, where you can savour authentic Thai-Chinese street food while wandering through bustling alleyways.

Indulge in the Thai Culinary Scene
Bangkok is a haven for food lovers, offering a range of dining experiences, from affordable street food to Michelin-starred restaurants. Make sure to try classic Thai dishes like pad thai, som tam (papaya salad), and tom yum goong (spicy shrimp soup), by visiting food stalls in Talat Phlu or Khao San Road. For a more luxurious experience, you can try the Manohara Cruise at Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel.

Enjoy the Thrills of Bangkok’s Nightlife
Bangkok’s nightlife is world-renowned. Start your evening with sunset cocktails at a rooftop bar, or, for a more laid-back vibe, enjoy a river cruise dinner along the Chao Phraya River, where you can see the city illuminated at night. If you’re in the mood for partying, head to Khao San Road, a lively street filled with bars, music, and vibrant crowds.
