Bangkok Hotels along the Chao Phraya Riverside

When the capital of Thailand was moved to Bangkok in 1782 (the beginning of the Rattanakosin period), the capital was laced with canals, so Bangkok was sometimes called the "VENICE OF THE EAST" by European visitors.

Nowadays, even though Bangkok has become a modern city, the Chao Phraya River as well as the canals are still charming for whoever wishes to seek the peaceful atmosphere amidst bustling Bangkok; Five Star Alliance has listed some of the very best Chao Phraya Riverfront luxury hotels to facilitate your choice.
