A nice spot to explore art at a relaxed pace. There are different art exhibitions throughout the year, some free and some with an entry fee. Inside the building, you’ll also find small shops selling art and handmade crafts. Sometimes there are workshops or special activities, so it’s a good idea to check before visiting. Paid parking is available. If you’re coming by MRT, get off at Hua Lamphong S...

This place was fantastic. I enjoyed all the art that was on display. So many creative pieces and a few creative activities. The exhibit is massive, with art on multiple floors you won't run out of things to look at anytime soon. I would definitely recommend stopping in if you like art.

River City Bangkok is a fantastic art and culture hub. It features diverse, inspiring exhibitions, massive art toys, and countless photo opportunities. A stunning sunset view of the Oriental Hotel and IconSiam. Plus: very clean facilities, cool shops with local artist goods, and parking. Best visited on weekdays before the afternoon crowd. Highly recommended for a creative escape!
