About
ASIATIQUE The Riverfront is an open-air mall that offers a dynamic combo of shopping, dining, sightseeing, and events—with scenic river views to boot. Here, you can pop into a large variety of shops selling clothes, souvenirs, bags, and more; sample authentic Thai cuisine at the night market; enjoy live music performances; and take a ride on the ferris wheel or carousel. You can even catch the Calypso cabaret and watch a Muay Thai fight.
It’s best to get here via the free daily shuttle boat from Pier Sathorn as taxis and tuktuks (Thailand's three-wheeled open-air vehicles) encounter frequent traffic jams.

- HannahBodicote, United Kingdom231 contributionsNice for a mooch and foodGreat place with good atmosphere. We got there a little early (around 4pm) and it was only starting to open up. The market stalls are good, nice variety and lots of places to eat and drink. Still lots of shops closed/never opened but I’m sure that will change over time. Worth a look 👍🏻Visited December 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 14 December 2022
- Jay du Toit1 contributionAsiatique ReviewThe Ferris wheel was very enjoyable with views of the city and the river. The market was not crowded and the few food stalls that were open offered seafood dishes. However it is not serviced by BTS Skytrain or MRT Metro, only very old public buses, which took ages in the slow traffic.Visited December 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 16 December 2022
- mountainsrivers9924 contributionsSkip ItI visited because I was staying nearby. I'm glad I didn't go out of my way to visit because I found it extremely boring. 50% of the shops are closed (I went on a Friday evening). The food looked good, but nothing notable compared to how much good eating there is for food stalls and restaurants in the neighborhood. If you're looking for a cleaned up, cookie-cutter version of BKK market this is for you. Otherwise I say don't bother.Visited December 2022Written 8 January 2023
- AlexShiraz, Iran32 contributionsA good and clean place for tourists to eat , visit and shop!The place you must see in Bangkok in my opinion. Here was more clean and quiet in comparison with busy streets of Bangkok. I think it has been designed for tourists. So many shops good items for shopping with good prices. Also there are some big tourist boat becoming restaurants beside the river. I ate in a very good restaurant beside the river call happy fish with a good quality food and reasonable price. I recommend it to you. Especially I recommend to eat fish here. In total i m so happy to visit this place.Visited February 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 12 February 2023

- Harry N2 contributionsCool place avoid Sail to the Moon restaurantCool place, not quite finished yet but has a great atmosphere. Avoid Sail to the Moon restaurant. If it looks like sick, smells like sick and tastes like sick, it will probably make you sick. True to form, the stir fried squid in ‘yellow sauce’ did just that. Sail to the moon impressively, simultaneously took the prize for most expensive and naffest food we had in Thailand, with the cheapest local beer (Chang) priced at a point that would make a craft ale producer in central London blush. However there was a superb photoshop job done on the chicken wings on the menu to make them look an acceptable size. The setting is great and there are shops, music and other eateries to enjoy. Just pick your restaurant wisely.Visited March 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 18 March 2023
- PhamSunHTexas Gulf Coast, Texas22 contributionsTruly entertained !River ferries or the free Asiatique river ferries make it simple to reach. lots of food and shopping. There are a ton of food options. Ferris wheels, boxing, Thai shows. At night, the area comes alive. absolutely worthwhile to visit.Visited February 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 27 March 2023
- Travel Enthusiast52 contributionsGreat place to spend the eveningFantastic place to shop, eat or just hang out. Things are a bit expensive than central Bangkok. Lots of food options. Easily one can spend 2-3 hours. BTS station is not walkable distance. Worth visiting.Visited March 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 5 April 2023
- leshy-travelBydgoszcz, Poland276 contributionsAsiatique The Riverfront - a good place to shop and relax in BangkokAsiatique The Riverfront is the perfect place to combine shopping and relaxation in Bangkok. It is located in the Wat Phraya Krai sub-district of the Bang Kho Laem district. Shops and restaurants provide opportunities to find something for yourself and enjoy delicious meals, and there are many of them. Entertainment and artistic attractions were also taken care of. All this makes this place perfect for everyone, regardless of age. I had the opportunity to go there and the visit turned out to be a pleasure.Visited August 2022Written 17 April 2023
- Red DevilYangon (Rangoon), Myanmar163 contributionsBeautifulI would definitely come back to Asiatique the Riverfront time and again. There's always something fun and new to check out. Simply enjoy a leisurely walk and you don't even need to buy anything. Grab a good meal for dinner, watch the sunset, go on a calmer ride at the Grand Carousel and call it a day. The asiatique sky is high 60m. The ticket is THB500. You will admire the beauty of Bangkok night around 10-15 mins.The easiest and most comfortable way to get there is by taking the free boat that leaves from the Saphan Taksin dock. From there it's just 10 minutes down the river, and the boat runs from 5 pm to 11:30 pm, every 15 minutes. Another option is to take a taxi or tuk tuk, but it would take longer.Visited May 2023Travelled with familyWritten 6 May 2023

This is a great place to watch the sun go down while enjoying a drink and something to eat. Getting there by river boat is easy and there is plenty to see and do there. We are at the Happy Fish and it was pretty good, especially the ice cream cone at the end of our meal which we ate on the boat ride back.

Asiatique feels a bit old and tired. Many many stores are closed. Those that are open are often selling merchandise which is much more expensive than other places around Bangkok such as MBK. Interesting for a short visit but if you are lacking time in fabulous Bangkok I wouldn’t bother.

We had limited time in Bangkok on this visit and I am so pleased that we managed to fit in a visit to Asiatique one night. My only disappointment - I would have liked more time there before it started closing but we only got there after 10pm.
We enjoyed the different 'market' style shopping (pricing seemed fair), and went on the Ferris wheel for a view over the river and the night lights. There are restaurants, the haunted castle and different sections to explore / shop.
I would definitely return on a future visit to Bangkok, for the different character the place evokes, especially if they have more projects / exhibitions (there had recently been a Disney one.)

I'll start off with the view, NO doubt its great by the river night time is fantastic. But that's is about it. I'm food lover and have been to many Thai market and this is very touristy basically its not what Thailand is about. You go to a street market like JJ or other places you expect to see lots of food stall selling at great price and delicious. Well this place will disappoint you.
For example a cup of orange juice cost like 140 baht instead of 50 baht max. 4 large spring rolls other market is like 10 baht this one is 4 for 150 baht more expansive that i will be paying in the UK food market.
Lots of cold and precooked food not even nice.
The ferris wheel cost 500 baht???? Totally Lost the charm just for that.
I am seeing sad end of this place if its not changing soon. Why would you sell food so expansive and its not even nice. Lots of empty shops I understand because of Co-vid but if you continue to charge extortionate price, and its no longer unique and interesting as everyone is selling the same things. You will not have a re-visit nor recommendation.

Asiatique is a great place to eat and enjoy the riverside atmosphere. And suitable for couples who want to come on a date. Because the atmosphere here is very romantic.

Archie Jain

The place is majorly sea-food-centric. There is a pizza place 'The pizza company' where we were able to find cheese only pizza. Otherwise, you can have lots of fruits and ice creams being sold there. Not many other options for vegetarians though.

Please does anyone how far Asiatique is from Rembrandt hotel and Suites and how to get there and back with an idea of cost.Many thanks.

I would suggest you take the BTS Sky Train (Asok is your nearest stop) and go to Saphin Taksim. Get off at Saphin Taksim and take the free boat shuttle to Asiatique from the pier. This will be much faster and economical, in my opinion. Otherwise meter taxi which might take longer because of traffic and probably more expensive.

I didn’t see any boats other than the Asiatique boat stop, plus night cruises. Most boats stop just under the station and you can change boats there.

Take the free Icon Siam boat to Saphan Taksin and transfer to the free boat to Asiatique from there. You will need to go to the right pier but it’s well signposted.
