Top Amenities in Bangkok Riverside Condos

The best Chao Phraya riverfront condos, such as the River Condominium, boast a variety of top amenities, including generously proportioned swimming pools, fully equipped gyms, sports courts, playgrounds and more. Because of the desirable location – waterfront living in Bangkok appeals to almost all demographics – most condos for rent in this part of the city have superb amenities.

Of course, one of the most precious amenities is unique to this part of the city: the stunning views across the Chao Phraya and Bangkok skyline that a riverside condominium in Bangkok affords its occupants. If a great view is an important requirement, nothing less than a riverfront condo will suffice.

Nearby Attractions Along the Chao Phraya River

If you move into one of the riverfront condominiums on the banks of the Chao Phraya, you will be within easy reach of dozens of Bangkok’s best attractions, including the following:

• The Grand Palace
  Perhaps the city’s most famous attraction, the Grand Palace Complex is situated on the east bank of the river, on Rattanakosin Island. 
• The Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun)
  This impressive temple is on the west bank of the Chao Phraya in the Bangkok Yai district.
• The River
  The Chao Phraya itself is one of the city’s biggest attractions, with cruises that depart from a variety of locations, enabling visitors to enjoy breathtaking views of Bangkok from a unique perspective.
• Chinatown
  Bangkok’s Chinatown, with its bustling markets, numerous eateries producing fragrant Chinese dishes and hundreds of narrow shophouses, is one of the largest examples of its kind anywhere in the world today.
• Flower Market
  Pak Khlong Talat is Bangkok’s premier fresh flower market and caters primarily to the city’s florists, as well as florists from all over the country. Its sheer size and the huge variety of flowers sold by its vendors have helped to make it a popular tourist attraction as well.

Depending on which riverside condominium in Bangkok you choose, some of these attractions could be just a few minutes walk from your front door.

Dining Options

Perhaps the best thing about waterfront living in Bangkok is the variety of dining options from which residents can choose every day of their lives. If you love good food, you will be spoilt for choice. You might like to start by sampling the fare at the restaurants and bars in the Mandarin Oriental or the Peninsular Hotel, both of which occupy prominent riverside sites.
