Water Front

Bangkok


Located across the river from Thewet's touristy area, this pleasant riverside restaurant is largely the preserve of local patrons who gather here in the evenings to socialise over sumptuous dinners. The delicious fare is mostly Thai, there's a spot of live music on most evenings, and the beautiful riverside seating is ideal for a quiet but special dining experience.

Most dishes here can be tempered down in terms of spice to suit children. To get here, take the ferry one stop from Thewet to Saphan Krung Thon. Post dinner, stroll back to Thewet along Krung Thon bridge, spanning the dark waters of the Chao Phraya River.
