History
On the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok's Thonburi side, with the property's Loy Pela Voyages river cruise departing from its pier.
Chulathat Kitibutr's three colonial-style buildings opened in 1992 as a riverside resort and took the Anantara flag in 2011, Minor's first Anantara in Bangkok. The Thonburi bank served as Siam's capital immediately before Bangkok was founded in 1782, giving the address a pre-Bangkok historical layer most city hotels cannot claim.
The setting
Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort unfolds across eleven acres of tropical gardens on the Chao Phraya's west bank at 257/1-3 Charoennakorn Road in Thonburi — the district that briefly served as Siam's capital before Bangkok's founding in 1782. Located five kilometres from the city centre, the resort emphasises river-resort serenity: a private shuttle boat departs every thirty minutes to Saphan Taksin BTS, and Asiatique The Riverfront is thirty-five minutes by river transit. The Thonburi riverbank keeps a slower tempo, with working barges on the water and long views along the Chao Phraya. 8 km from Grand Palace.
