Hands down one of our favorite parts of Bangkok is the Chao Phraya riverfront.
Lined with tall high rises and constantly bustling with everything from long-tail boats to barges and one-man rowboats, you could people watch for hours on end, preferably with a good long drink and snack.
On a recent trip to Bangkok, we frequented the river bar at the Hotel Shangri La, which was always quiet.
Sitting there with a Passionfruit Mojito or a Lemongrass Gin + Tonic and snacking on these spicy, salty peanuts was pretty much the perfect break from the never-ending pace of Bangkok.Â
