1  Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers ==> By the river, but nothing compared to 2+3. The night food market is just
in front of the hotel. There's public boat pier around the corner.
2 Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok ==> River view. I will stay here when I want to relax and eat real Chinese food!
3 Millennium Hilton Bangkok==> by the River, enjoy the hotel boat (kids also love it, but pool is too small) easy acess to Asiatique
4 The Sukhothai Bangkok==> in the city but you'll need taxi. Excellent architecture, excellent food (I love eating, I will stay here)
5 lebua at State Tower ==> not my style
6 Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong ==> city center, convenient public MRT, open air swimming pool on the deck (not
good, too cold, spa is simple, fitness is OK.)
