Casa Vimaya Riverside

The rooms at Casa Vimaya Riverside come in king, twin and double layouts, and some of them have a river view over the Chao Phraya. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms.

Several rooms have a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, a hair dryer and toiletries, and some add a bathtub and bathrobes. Rooms can have individual air conditioning, an in-room safe box and a desk. Rooms sleep up to three or four guests, so families and small groups can both find a suitable room.

The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a poolside bar, and a restaurant serves buffet breakfast. The front desk is open 24 hours, and a concierge, luggage storage, safety deposit boxes and an airport transfer are also available. A convenience store and a cash withdrawal service are on site, so guests can handle small errands without leaving the grounds.

Daily housekeeping, laundry service and ironing service are offered, and an elevator serves the building. Wi-Fi is also available in public areas, and satellite or cable channels and a telephone are provided. Rooms can have a minibar, a coffee or tea maker, free bottled water and complimentary tea.

Casa Vimaya Riverside is in the Khaosan area of Phra Nakorn, the historic core of Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River. The streets around it are lined with temples, guesthouses and street-food stalls, and the river piers in the area, including Phra Sumen Fort, are within a few hundred metres.

Khaosan Road, a lively street of bars and street food, is 350 m away. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) and the Grand Palace are both within 1.6 km, and Wat Phra Chetuphon, known as Wat Pho for its reclining Buddha, is nearby. Wat Arun, the temple with the tall spire on the riverbank, is also close by. For shopping, Siam Paragon is 4.2 km away, and the Chatuchak Weekend Market is 6.8 km. Sam Yot MRT Station is nearby for trains around the city.

A good day here can start at the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, continue to Wat Pho and Wat Arun, and end on Khaosan Road in the evening. Many of these sights are close enough to reach on foot, so the day can be planned around walking and the river piers, which offer boat crossings to the Thonburi side. Chatuchak is best kept for a separate morning, since it is farther out.
