"Montha"
www.classic-barges.com
| rooms |Thailand, Central Thailand, Bangkok

Arguably, the most luxurious vessel on the river, the 'Montha' plies the Chao Phraya and its tributaries, providing accommodation and facilities in a luxurious yet traditional style. Based on an antique rice-barge, 'Montha' is almost totally constructed from golden teak and mahogany; she has many unique concepts which make her stand out from the other barges on the river. Her upper deck includes an air-conditioned lounge and dining area that is inspired by turn of the century colonial architecture, featuring solid golden teak panelling and a hand carving depicting a scene from the Ayutthaya period. Below decks the Main Stateroom has a conventional king-size bed and en-suite bathroom; a multi-purpose saloon, also with a full en-suite, provides flexibility in usage of the vessel. All features on the lower deck are on one level and are similar to a hotel suite. No-one could reasonably equate the accommodation on 'Montha' to an overnight sleeping compartment of a train, no matter how prestigious. "Montha' is licensed by the Ports and Harbours Authority as a passenger-carrying vessel and also licensed as a floating restaurant. Her elegance and comfort make 'Montha' equally suitable for business entertainment, holiday or for that special occasion such as a honeymoon cruise. Group Travel can also be arranged when passenger numbers cannot be accommodated aboard overnight. Riverside hotels, boutique resorts and restaurants are located at various places along the river and can be utilised as required.

Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel
http://siam-bangkok.anantara.com/
| 396 rooms |Thailand, Central Thailand, Bangkok

Originally opening as the Bangkok Peninsula in 1983, with a lobby reminiscent of the parent hotel, The Peninsula Hong Kong, the property later became The Regent of Bangkok and later again The Four Seasons Bangkok. Magnificent in each of its incarnations, Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel exudes classic hotel luxury and calm. Beyond the pair of symbolic sandstone white elephants, which greet you on arrival, one is guided over a lotus pond, through the front doors and into the vast, high-ceilinged lobby that combines a Western sense of worldly pleasure with the Eastern concept of eternity. High above on the ceiling, is a uniquely Thai depiction of the cosmos, a hauntingly beautiful series of mandala-type silk paintings covering every section of the ceiling.

Eastern & Oriental Express (Bangkok to Chiang Mai)
https://www.belmond.com/trains/asia/eastern-and-oriental-express/
| rooms |Thailand, Central Thailand, Bangkok

 

If you have limited time why not consider a short overnight trip on this famous train?  

 

Lunch is served while the train journeys northwards through the Thai countryside. You disembark atAyutthaya where the magnificent ruins of temples, palaces and crumbling fortresses provide eloquent testimony of the former capital’s splendour. A guided tour is followed by a relaxing river cruise.Dinner and overnight on board as the train continues its journey. Awake to your steward serving breakfast in the comfort of your private compartment before arrival inChiang Mai,Thailand’s second largest city.

 

This luxury train was first built in Japan in 1972 and operated as the Silver Star train in New Zealand. It's carriages were then remodelled and designed by Gérard Gallet, the man behind much of the design and refurbishment of both the British Pullman and the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. The inspiration for the interiors is derived from the East. The carriage walls are decorated with veneers of wooden marquetry with Eastern designs, while the bar and restaurant cars are decorated in Chinese and Thai lacquer using Malaysian motifs with Thai wall carvings and engraved mirrors. The open-deck of the Observation Car also has an Oriental theme, and for much of the train local materials have been used. On board the Eastern & Oriental Express, the atmosphere harks back to a 'Colonial' age of rattan chairs on the verandah, linen suits and tea dances.

Mandarin Oriental
https://www.mandarinoriental.com/en/bangkok/chao-phraya-river?source=MOLandingPage:MOBKK:local
| rooms |Thailand, Central Thailand, Bangkok

Arguably the best hotel in the world. The Oriental has topped “world’s best” hotel surveys many times over. In a beautiful position overlooking the Chao Phraya River, the hotel has been in business for 130 years. The “Authors Wing” (1876) , with suites named after the likes of erstwhile residents Somerset Maugham and Joseph Conrad, is full of colonial character, while the modern new tower accommodations offer every luxury and the highest possible standards of service. The hotel claims that Joseph Conrad, Somerset Maugham and Noel Coward all stayed at one time or another, although the first of these probably did not – he lived aboard his ship moored in the river or, perhaps, stayed in the defunct Universal Hotel.

The Sukhothai
https://www.sukhothai.com/bangkok/en
| rooms |Thailand, Central Thailand, Bangkok

Architecturally, this is perhaps the most beautiful and striking hotel in Bangkok. On entering the hotel, with its reflective pools of water and tinkling bells reminiscent of the Sukhothai kingdom, you feel far away from the city. Evenings are captivating with candle light reflecting in the pools and long shadows forming on the dark wooden floors. This outstanding hotel has a distinctly Thai ambience.

Chakrabongse Villas
https://chakrabongsevillas.com/
| 9 rooms |Thailand, Central Thailand, Bangkok

This superb property is comprised of three apartments situated on the banks of the Chao Phraya River and across the road from the Grand Palace. The accommodations are in the compound of a beautiful old Thai residence, Chakrabonse House. The most expensive of the accommodations looks out over the Chao Phraya River to the spectacular temple, Wat Arun. Chakrabongse House was built in 1908 by HRH Prince Chakrabongse and was originally used when he attended royal ceremonies in the Grand Palace and for picnics and excursions on the river. Later, after the 1932 revolution, it became the residence of Prince Chula Chakrabongse, historian and writer. Today it is lovingly maintained by his daughter, Narisa.
