I have been staying at the Anantara for the 2nd time and it has been just as enjoyable as the first time. The staff couldn't be nicer, the accommodations are first class and the different foods make for an exotic gastronomic experience. The highlight of my trip this time was Thai cooking classes provided by the resort's SPICESPOONS. It was so much fun! I learned much about simple daily Thai dishes with all the presentation for serving that goes with it. I shall return. :-) Read less

One of the best experience in having a heavy and full 2.5 days business meeting at this nice hotel. Although it is less convenient to go out, i still enjoy the nice environment of this resort hotel. Unfortunately, I am unable to enjoy the spa and massage because of full booking

The exotic hotel interiors and beautiful landscaping are truly stunning. All the staff are friendly and warm. The transportation is also convenient, with a free ferry service to downtown. I would love to stay here with my family next time.

What a nice hotel is Anantara Riverside Bangkok. Would definitely stay there again in the Deluxe Riverside room for a period of longer than 3 nights if we can obtain similar rates as we obtained for our stay in July. Staff are helpful and cooperative and always welcome you with a superb smile
