The Bank River House Ayutthaya

Air conditioning is standard in all rooms at The Bank River House Ayutthaya, and the rooms come with a king bed or two single beds. Several rooms have a river view, and the balcony rooms add a seating area where you can sit outside and look across the water, with the river in view from the balcony.

Some rooms have a private entrance, along with a coffee and tea maker and slippers, while others have a balcony and a seating area. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. The grounds include a garden and an outdoor pool, with sunbeds and a poolside bar.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, and there is WiFi in the public areas too. Free parking is available, so arriving by car is straightforward.

Dining is covered by the restaurants, and room service is available if you prefer to eat in your room. The garden and the terrace are among the shared spaces, and the public area has air conditioning. Internet access is also offered in the public areas, so guests can get online outside their rooms as well.

The Bank River House Ayutthaya stands on the Ayutthaya riverside in Phakhai, an area of village houses and small temples rather than the busy streets of the old town. The river is close by, and several rooms look out over it, so the atmosphere is calmer and more rural than in the town itself.

The main sights lie a drive away. The Historic City, 23.3 km from the property, holds the ruined temples and palaces of the former Siamese capital, and Wat Chaiwatthanaram, 22.3 km away, is a Khmer-style temple complex on the Chao Phraya riverbank. Closer by, the pagoda at Wat Chiphon is 800 m from the hotel, and the village of Ban Thai Wat Pho lies 950 m away.

A good day could begin at the pagoda at Wat Chiphon, then head to the historic park to see the ruins, and finish at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, where a large reclining Buddha statue lies in the ruins of an old temple. Bicycles are available to rent from the hotel for rides along the river. For flights, Don Mueang International Airport is the nearest, 65.6 km away, and the ruins and riverside lanes give a full day of sightseeing without going far from the hotel.
