The area along the Chao Phraya river offer a great experience for tourists, and is more convenient than you may think, since the Chao Phraya river is a main transportation artery. So may great tourist venues are just a ferry ride away, like Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, etc. Staying in a hotel around the river is also appealing because the hotels here tend to be signature and four-star hotels.
