Chakrabongse Palace - Nonthaburi

Beautiful location, see the beautiful river chaopaya next to.

Spectacular boutique hotel and restaurant with long history and riverview. The restaurant have to make a reservation first atleast a month, still really worth to taste authentic Thai food and experience the night of Bangkok by the riverside.

We booked a tour here. a beautiful waterfront palace with a lot of history. we received a tour through the house in the ground floor, but learned a lot about the history of the chakrabongse royal family. narisa chakrabongse, the only daughter of prinz chakrabongse, gave us a personal guidance of her library and told us the history of her family and her inheritance. the meal served with the tour in the restaurant before the water was also excellent.

Great food and superb views. Really authentic royal Thai cuisine I guess, because I'm not Thai royal family, but the owner of this place is, and their family still lives here. The restaurant is a part of their house. So this restaurant is very small and private; advanced booking is advised.

I had a sumptuous dinner at Chakrabongse, my last evening in SE Asia, watching the sunset and the lights come up on Wat Arun. It was a fixed menu, with 10 dishes (the appetizers were small). Each bite was delectable! The deep-fried sea bass was out of this world, so light and flavorful! The massaman beef curry was so rich. The chef shops in the early afternoon, so you need to reserve before then—and it’s all so fresh! It was a magical evening. I highly recommend Chakrabongse!
