About

River City Bangkok opened in 1984 as an antiques centre on the Chao Phraya, the idea of Italthai Group chief Adisorn Charanachitta after browsing the antique markets of Paris. Dealers' galleries still fill its floors with pieces from Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Nepal and China, and the building now adds exhibition halls, art galleries, film screenings, talks and its own auction house.

It suits collectors, design lovers and anyone who prefers an afternoon among Khmer bronzes and Chinese porcelain to another mall. The centre sits on the east bank in Talat Noi, Samphanthawong, at the end of Charoen Krung Soi 24, and it has its own pier, so the river is the easiest way in.

Antiques and galleries

The antiques dealers cover centuries of regional art, from Khmer and Burmese pieces to Ming and Qing ceramics and objects from the Ayutthaya, Sukhothai and Rattanakosin periods. Tenants include Siam Masterpieces, Nagi Fine Arts, Adul Collection and All Time Antiques, alongside lifestyle shops and contemporary galleries. The directory on River City's website lists every shop by floor.

Exhibitions, auctions and events

Large temporary exhibitions run in the RCB Galleria halls, some ticketed, and the program also includes films, music nights, talks and the Italthai Portrait Prize. RCB Auctions has taken consignments from Thai family estates for close to four decades, selling porcelain, silverware, sculpture, jewelry and fine art, and it has offered online bidding through the Invaluable platform since 2021. Check the What's On page before you go, since the schedule changes every few weeks.

Getting there

Chao Phraya Express boats (yellow, orange and green flag) stop at Si Phraya Pier next door, and Thai Smile Boat's Purple (Urban) and Green (City) lines stop at River City's own Pier 3. From BTS Saphan Taksin, River City suggests taking a boat upriver from Sathorn Pier. From MRT Hua Lamphong, River City suggests a taxi or tuk-tuk. The building has its own car park. Pets are not allowed inside.

Eating and river cruises

Restaurants and cafés sit on the ground floor by the water: EVERYDAY Mookrata and Cafe does Thai-style barbecue by the river, and Starbucks, The Coffee Club, Black Canyon Coffee and Antday cover coffee. Two dinner cruise operators, River Star Princess and Wonderful Pearl, are based here, and River Star Princess boards from River City's Pier 1. The cruises are run by those operators, not by River City, so book with the operator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is River City Bangkok free?
Yes. Entry to the building and its galleries is free. Some exhibitions and events inside are ticketed, and tickets for those are sold through River City Bangkok's own website.
How do I get to River City Bangkok?
By boat is easiest: Thai Smile Boat's Purple (Urban) and Green (City) lines stop at River City Bangkok's own Pier 3, and Chao Phraya Express boats (yellow, orange and green flag) stop at Si Phraya Pier next door. From BTS Saphan Taksin, walk to Sathorn Pier and ride a flag boat upriver to Si Phraya. From MRT Hua Lamphong, a taxi or tuk-tuk takes a few minutes, or take bus 1, 75 or 35. Buses 36, 45, 93 and 187 also stop nearby, and the building has its own car park.
Where is River City Bangkok?
At 23 Charoen Krung Soi 24, Talat Noi, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100, on the east bank of the Chao Phraya River, beside Si Phraya Pier.
What is there to do at River City Bangkok?
Four floors of antique and art galleries dealing in pieces from Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Nepal and China, from Khmer and Burmese work to Ming and Qing ceramics. The RCB Galleria halls run large temporary exhibitions, and the centre also hosts film screenings, talks, live music and RCB Auctions sales. There are restaurants and coffee shops on the ground floor by the river.
Is River City Bangkok worth visiting?
For art and antiques, yes: it is Bangkok's specialist centre for them, entry is free, and the exhibition programme changes every few weeks, so there is usually something on beyond the dealer galleries. If you want a general shopping mall, the big Siam area centres suit better; River City is a collectors' and art-lovers' stop.
What are the opening hours?
Daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday to Friday and on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays alike. Individual galleries, restaurants and cruises keep their own hours.
Is there parking, and what does it cost?
Yes, the building has its own car park. Without a stamp, the first 30 minutes are free and parking is then 40 baht per hour. With a stamp from a shop or venue, the first three hours are free and 40 baht per hour applies from the fourth hour.
What exhibitions are on now, and how do I get tickets?
The programme in the RCB Galleria halls changes every few weeks; as of late October 2026, Beyond the Rainbow runs until 22 November 2026. Check the What's On page on River City's website before you go; ticketed exhibitions sell through that site.
Can I bid in River City's auctions from abroad?
Yes. RCB Auctions, the centre's own auction house, has taken consignments from Thai family estates for close to four decades, and since 2021 it has offered online bidding through the Invaluable platform, so collectors outside Thailand can bid remotely. Upcoming sales are listed under Auctions on River City's website.
Where do the dinner cruises leave from?
The cruises are run by separate operators, not by River City itself, and you book with the operator. River Star Princess boards at River City's Pier 1; Wonderful Pearl also operates from River City. River City's own Pier 3 is the stop for Thai Smile Boat's public lines.
