examiner.com : Experience royal treatment with private riverside dining, Dec 5th 2012
Tranquil and secluded, the restaurant at Chakrabongse Villas is impressive. Located in an ornately decorated riverside pavilion sitting on a private dock, it gives you unparalleled access to the hypnotic rhythms of the Chao Praya River and unobstructed views of Wat Arun and other famed tourist attractions dating from the Rattanakosin era.

This spacious, lovingly restored oasis of calm – formerly a worker’s residence – ticks all the traditional Thai house boxes: gabled roof, flame-shaped eaves, polished teak everything, tropical landscape….
It also juts sublimely over the city’s Chao Phraya River, and sits lodged with the serenely lush 100-year-old residence of Prince Chakrabongse.

The setting at night, when candles and oil lamps glow along walkways and in alcoves, is magical.
