Thonburi, Bangkok Hotels

Introduction to Thonburi

A former capital of the kingdom, Thonburi is the name for the area covering the entire side of the west bank of Chao Phraya River. With a few notable exceptions along the river, including the Peninsula Hotel, most hotels in this precinct range from budget friendly to mid-range options. To get to Thonburi you can take Chao Phraya Express Boat or the ferries which crisscross the river from any of the main piers. There are also the BTS Skytrain stations at Krung Thonburi and Wongwian Yai, which connect to most parts of the city centre.

More residential than commercial, the ambiance of Thonburi is still authentic and visitors can take long tail boat tour whisking the canals to explore riverside wooden shop houses, temples and plantations. Taling Chan Floating Market, close to Bangkok’s Southern Bus Terminal, is also recommended for those who want to experience a taste of the old Bangkok. Also in Thonburi is the iconic Arun Temple, or Temple of Dawn, located next to the Royal Thai Navy Base. This is one of the city's most visited attractions and features a 250-feet towering spire, decorated by colorful mosaic pottery.
