Riverside Plaza

“The New Riverside Destination”

 

When we first visited Riverside Plaza, we were so surprised to see this kind of shopping mall in this less crowded side of the city. But last time we didn’t get to explore much of this place, so we return once again to see what’s there. Riverside Plaza is a shopping mall and lifestyle center with plenty of shops and restaurants that you can visit all day long from 10am until 10pm. Today, we will take you on a tour to explore every single corner of this little-known Riverside Plaza!

 

 

Situated on Charoen Nakorn Road adjacent to AVANI Riverside Bangkok and Anantara Riverside Bangkok, the Riverside Plaza is easily accessible by car. The traffic around Charoen Nakorn area is not that busy compared to the city center. Plus, Riverside Plaza also offers over 600 parking spaces to facilitate individual mobility in cities. Meanwhile, you can also take the Anantara Riverside Bangkok’s shuttle boat that departs from Saphan Taksin pier and the hotel every half an hour.

Upon arriving, we highly recommend you start your wonderful day with a cup of aromatic coffee at The Coffee Club, the one and only branch in Thonburi, on the 1st floor next to the entrance of the mall. Apart from being a place to relax and unwind, this native Australian coffee shop is also a perfect spot for catching up with friends or a business meeting while munching some of the café’s iconic dishes. Close to The Coffee Club, there's also a fair selection of indoor coffee shops, including the famous Starbucks for a cup of coffee and S&P for some Thai and International favorites.

 

 

After having some convenient breakfasts and coffee, it’s time to do some shopping! At Riverside Plaza, there are plenty of inspiring fashion stores with hundreds of brand-name products.

Then, walk through the hall in the middle of the mall where a huge array of promotions and special events such as product launch, sales event, food exhibition, and even family-friendly activity are often held.
