As your host at Saan Hotel, we’ve curated this “Local Insider” itinerary to help you experience the best of Thonburi. From legendary street food and majestic temples to secret riverside art spots—here is your perfect day trip guide for the Charoen Nakhon area.
Morning: Spiritual Wonders & Timeless Flavors
08:30 AM | Breakfast at the Legendary “Charoen Nakhon Braised Beef”
Kick off your morning like a true local at an institution just 3.6 km from our hotel. Charoen Nakhon Braised Beef is famous for its rich, aromatic broth simmered for hours. Whether you prefer melt-in-your-mouth braised beef or silky beef tendons, this spot has been the go-to breakfast for local foodies for decades.
10:00 AM | The Majestic Giant Buddha at Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen
A 15-minute taxi ride from Saan Hotel brings you to the breathtaking “Phra Phuttha Dhammakaya Thep Mongkol.” Standing 69 meters tall, this world-class Golden Buddha is a must-see. Don’t forget to visit the emerald-colored celestial ceiling inside the Great Stupa—a masterpiece that has become a viral sensation worldwide.
Afternoon: Riverside Art & Iconic Landmarks
01:00 PM | Creative Escape at Khlong Bang Luang Artist House
Escape the city heat at this ancient riverside community. Immerse yourself in the “slow life” by joining a DIY bead workshop to create your own jewelry or paint a traditional Thai mask while watching a traditional puppet show. It’s a peaceful retreat where you can truly connect with Bangkok’s artistic side.
04:00 PM | Riverside Vibes at ICONSIAM & SookSiam
Head back to the riverfront at ICONSIAM. Wander through SookSiam, an indoor market featuring the best food from all 77 provinces of Thailand. We recommend grabbing a Michelin-awarded Thai Tea at Pang Cha before catching the spectacular Multimedia Water Fountain Show by the river.
Evening: Golden Hour Views & Local Dining
05:30 PM | Sunset at Chao Phraya Sky Park & Kudi Chin
This is a must-visit spot for a 360-degree view of the river during golden hour. Afterward, take a stroll down the Kudi Chin Riverside Walkway. Recently renovated with modern urban design, this path is beautifully lit, romantic, and perfect for an evening walk.
07:00 PM | Michelin-Grade Street Food Dinner
For seafood lovers, Ann Tha Din Daeng (a Michelin Guide regular) is a top choice. If you prefer a cozy Thai-Chinese meal, Tee Phochana is located conveniently near the hotel and serves incredible stir-fry dishes with that signature “Wok Hei” aroma.
