Bangkok’s riverside, reconsidered
The Chao Phraya is drawing a new generation of residences.
For years the river was a view to visit, not a place to live. That is changing as a cluster of considered buildings settles along its banks.
A quieter centre
Riverside Bangkok trades the density of Sukhumvit for water, light and a slower arrival home by boat or bridge.
Living on the water
The best addresses pair a ferry pier with a short hop to the BTS, keeping the city close while the river keeps it calm.
