Above Riva · Rooftop Bar · Bangkok
Above Riva crowns the boutique Riva Arun hotel on the banks of the Chao Phraya, in the historic Rattanakosin old town, and its position is close to unmatched in Bangkok.

The seats facing the water are the ones to request, framed against Wat Arun as it lights up at dusk.
The kitchen runs a contemporary twist-of-Thai menu paired with cocktails and a considered wine list, so it holds up as a genuine dinne
