Best BKK Hotel for Loy Krathong

[Mescalito]

What would be the best hotel on the Chao Praya from which to view the festivities at Loy Krathong this year? Is there one with a patio area or preferably outside dining near the river where one can sit and enjoy the sights?

[piero]

All the 5 great hotels on river offer restaurants or patio to enjoy the sight (Peninsula, Oriental, Shangri-là, Royal Orchid Sheraton and the new Hilton Millenium)

I agree about the hotels - Loy Krathong is on november 5th I think?

Yes -- it's the night of Sunday, November 5th.

I've stayed at the Sheraton Royal Orchid many times and the view of the river is first rate.
