8 Restaurants Around the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok (2026)

15/11/2026

If you want to eat near Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River, it helps to split the options by address into three groups: Maha Rat Road, Bang Rak / Silom, and Bang Phlat. This article sorts the eight restaurants in our in-house restaurant database by area. Loy Krathong in 2026 falls on November 24, 2026.

Where Are the Restaurants Around the Chao Phraya River Clustered?

The eight registered restaurants fall into three groups by address: four on Maha Rat Road, three in Bang Rak and Silom, and one in the Bang Phlat district.

Along Maha Rat Road (Phra Nakhon district): Rongros, Supanniga Eating Room (Phra Nakhon), Sang Thatien, Chakrabongse Dining
Bang Rak / Silom: Le Normandie, Yu Ting Yuan, Riva del Fiume
Bang Phlat district: Praya Dining

Restaurant	Cuisine	Address district	Suggested occasion
Rongros	Thai	Phra Nakhon	Family / Friends
Supanniga Eating Room (Phra Nakhon)	Thai	Phra Nakhon	Family / Friends
Sang Thatien	Thai	Phra Nakhon	Friends / Couples
Chakrabongse Dining	Thai	Phra Nakhon	Friends / Couples
Le Normandie	French	Bang Rak	Business dining / Couples
Yu Ting Yuan	Chinese	Sathon (Silom)	Business dining / Couples
Riva del Fiume	Italian	Sathon (Silom)	Friends / Couples
Praya Dining	Thai	Bang Phlat	Family / Friends

Only two restaurants are confirmed as facing the river in their listings: Le Normandie and Riva del Fiume. Le Normandie’s description says its windows offer “a superb view of the Chao Phraya River.” Riva del Fiume is described as having a terrace overlooking the Chao Phraya. Yu Ting Yuan has the river’s name in its hotel address (Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River), but the database does not tell us whether the restaurant itself faces the water.

The listings for the other six restaurants do not mention the riverside. So this article does not call them “riverside” and treats them as restaurants “around” the river. Seat positions and the quality of views are not in the database, so we do not describe them.

Where to Eat Along Maha Rat Road?

The database lists four restaurants here. All have Maha Rat Road addresses, all serve Thai food, and all are presented as Michelin Guide-listed.

Rongros: 392/16 Maha Rat Road, Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Phra Nakhon, 10200. Hours as registered: 11:00-15:00, 17:00-22:00. Signature dishes are green curry and ribeye. Its views and night-view dinners are also described as a draw. Suggested occasions: family and friends.
Supanniga Eating Room (Phra Nakhon): 392/25-26 Maha Rat Road. Hours as registered: Mon-Fri 11:00-22:00, Sat-Sun 10:00-22:00. The signature dish is pork belly, and it is described as a well-known local favourite. It has an official website.
Sang Thatien: 75 Maha Rat Road. Hours as registered: Mon-Fri 17:00-21:00, Sat-Sun 13:00-21:00. It is described as serving handmade, authentic dishes in a simple, traditional setting. Signature dishes are salad and crab. Suggested occasions: friends and couples.
Chakrabongse Dining: 396/1 Maha Rat Road. Hours as registered: 18:00-21:00 (closed Mon). Signature dishes are red curry and roast duck. Views and night-view dinners are described as its appeal. It has an official website.

Opening hours are the easiest way to choose between them. You can go at midday to Rongros (from 11:00) and Supanniga (from 11:00 on weekdays, 10:00 on weekends). Sang Thatien opens at 17:00 on weekdays (13:00 on weekends) and Chakrabongse Dining opens at 18:00, so both are mainly evening options. Of these four, only Rongros and Supanniga have family listed as a suggested occasion.

Note that the descriptions mention “views” without saying what the view is of. Before booking for a river view, check each restaurant’s official information.

Which Restaurants Are Closest to the River in Bang Rak and Silom?

Three restaurants: Le Normandie, Riva del Fiume and Yu Ting Yuan. Le Normandie and Riva del Fiume mention river views in their descriptions, and Yu Ting Yuan has the river’s name in its hotel address. Suggested occasions are business dining, couples and friends.

Le Normandie (French): 48 Oriental Ave, Bang Rak, 10500. This is a fine-dining French restaurant inside the Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok, described as a leader of French cuisine in Asia for more than 40 years. It holds Michelin recognition. Hours as registered: 12:00-15:30, 18:30-23:30 (closed Mon-Tue). Jackets are required for men. It has an official website.
Yu Ting Yuan (Chinese): In the Silom area. It is described as a stylish, modern space serving contemporary takes on Chinese cuisine. The signature dish is dim sum. Hours as registered: 11:30-14:30, 18:00-22:30. It has an official website.
Riva del Fiume (Italian): A modern Italian restaurant inside the Four Seasons hotel, described as having an open kitchen and a wood-fired oven. Pizza and house-made pasta are the highlights. Hours as registered: 12:00-14:30, 18:00-22:30. It has an official website.

Yu Ting Yuan and Riva del Fiume share one registered address (Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River, 300/1 Charoen Krung Road), so you can choose between Chinese and Italian in the same building.

All three split service into lunch and dinner, so check the two time slots separately. Le Normandie is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

What About the Bang Phlat District?

The database lists one restaurant here, Praya Dining, at Praya Palazzo (757/1 Soi Somdet Phra Pin Klao 2) in the Bang Phlat district.

Praya Dining is a Thai restaurant presented as Michelin Guide-listed. It is described as a stylish, modern space serving contemporary takes on Thai cooking. The signature dish is curry, and it is called a well-known local favourite loved for many years. Hours as registered: 11:00-22:00. Suggested occasions: family and friends. It has an official website.

The listing does not mention the river. Check the distance and route on a map app. Like Supanniga, it is open straight through from late morning to night with no afternoon break, which is convenient.

Which Pier Do You Use, and What About Loy Krathong Day?

Pier names appear neither in the database nor in our sources, so this article does not name one. Loy Krathong in 2026 is on November 24.

About piers: Check each restaurant’s official website or a map app for directions. The confirmed information is limited to the database address and whether an official website exists.

About Loy Krathong day:

November 24 is a Tuesday. Le Normandie is registered as closed Mon-Tue, so under its regular schedule it would be closed that day.
Chakrabongse Dining is closed on Mondays only. Its Tuesday hours are registered as 18:00-21:00.
The hours in the database are regular hours. Special holiday hours are not registered, so confirm with each restaurant’s official information for the day.
The organiser’s website says floating a krathong is free to do at designated public places.
The same site warns that releasing a sky lantern in a restricted area can mean up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to 200,000 THB (about US$5,500).

In Chiang Mai, Loy Krathong and Yi Peng are celebrated together. The 2026 CAD Yi Peng festival runs November 24-25 and is a paid-ticket event. To help choose a city, see our Chiang Mai vs Bangkok comparison.
