Posted on by

Termed by King Rama the First, the Chao Phraya River captures the very essence of Bangkok. Today it showcases a juxtaposition of many fascinating aspects of the Thai community.

Take in the Sights of the River Aboard a Vessel

The best way to take in all the exotic sights that are centred around the river such as the magnificent temples is to book yourself on either a dinner cruise. Or an afternoon session on an antique rice barge for the ultimate experience!

Walk Along the Phra Arthit Road

Located parallelly to the river, the Phra Arthit Road stretches from Thammasat University and Phra Sumen Fort. It can be easily reached from many a Bangkok resort including the likes of Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort with ease. Consider visiting the spot towards the evening as the area takes on a lively carnival-like air.

Take in the Pak Khlong Flower Market

Awash in a riot of colour, the Pak Khlong Flower Market is one of the most pleasing spots to visit during an early morning. Here you will be able to find the freshest flowers, vegetables, and fruits for fantastic wholesale prices!

CentralWorld

This massive house of retail therapy is the third largest shopping complex in all of Asia, and the biggest in Thailand. This is an indoor shopping mall with an astonishing 430,000m2 of gross leasable place. You’ll find nothing less than the most reputed international brands within.

Siam Paragon

This mall is found in the heart of the Siam district, and as its name suggests, showcases the pinnacle of luxury. The finest fragrances, the most trendsetting fashion, and even luxury cars can be found for sale at Siam Paragon. If you find the best shop guide in Bangkok, it’ll definitely have Siam Paragon in it.

Emporium

Before any of the recent leviathan luxury malls appeared, there was Emporium, the original high-end shopping in Bangkok. Emporium only concerns itself with widely recognised luxury brands, so don’t expect to find anything other than the most reputed names.

Thonglor

This isn’t a mall at all, but a place that offers an uncompromising luxury shopping experience. This high-end avenue features boutique store after boutique store and makes constant appearances on media such as Shopping in Focus.
