Riva Surya Bangkok

Prefer Khao San by day and riverside calm by night? Riva Surya sits on leafy Phra Athit Road along the Chao Phraya, an easy stroll to Khao San’s water battles. Swap the street cannons for a tranquil pool overlooking long-tail boats, then wander to nearby cafes for a slow coffee before rejoining the fray. Rooms are stylish and restful, with balconies on many categories.

This boutique riverside setting gives you the best of both worlds: walkable access to the party with a serene, scenic retreat when you’re ready to dry out.
