Stunning reflections of majestic Thai architecture glimmering on the water, restaurants offering local cuisine such as flavourful tom yum goong and pad thai, and the famous Asiatique The Riverfront night market complex – these are only a few compelling reasons to visit one of Thailand’s most iconic attractions, the Chao Phraya river. Nestled within the bustling banks of this river is another one of Thailand’s gems, the Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort.

Part of hospitality and leisure conglomerate Minor International, Anantara is a hotel and resort chain renowned for cultivating luxurious guest experiences rooted in the distinct identities of the cities where it operates. In the case of Anantara Riverside, setting foot in the facility, which measures almost 4,452 hectares, opens the doors to local culture and the superior hospitality that the resort has perfected for 15 years.

“It is important for us to bring Thai culture and history closer to our guests. We strive to give our guests stories to tell, whether it’s about the small Thai artifacts adorning the hotel or the personalised service they experienced,” says Nikolaus Priesnitz, cluster general manager.
