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!
