The Riverside Terrace
The Riverside Terrace sits right on the Chao Phraya River and is a great dining venue to start the evening. The buffet offers a wide variety of foods and the fairy lights, lanterns and jazz band enhance the already relaxing atmosphere.

Baan Klang Nam
Although this restaurant has been around for decades, it has not lost its simple charms. And the seafood is still as amazing as ever. Even though dining is alfresco, there’s always a pleasant breeze. The crab curry here is a must.

Flow
Flow offers an extensive menu and not to mention its Cheese Room, where you’ll find 40 cheeses from around the world (it’s also included as part of the buffet). The outdoor patio is so wide that views of the river can be a little hard to come by, especially if you’re sitting inside, so make reservations in advance.

Samsara Café
Samsara is really nothing more than a tiny wooden house that, at first glance, may seem run down. Not fancy by any means, the place still oozes charm and an incredibly laid-back atmosphere, with local art hanging on the old, wooden walls. Owned by a Japanese-Thai couple, food here is Thai and comes in to-share portions. A great selection of imported Japanese and Belgian beers are on offer as well. It’s a great place for a casual date or for some quite time alone.

This one is a favourite of many and it’s one of ours too. Sitting directly across Wat Arun, you’ll take in one of the best views in Bangkok. We suggest arriving in time for the sunset and cocktails on The Deck’s rooftop terrace.
