About Galaxy 1
A Riverside Event Space in Bangkok's Thonburi District
Galaxy 1 is one of the dedicated event venues at Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel, a contemporary upscale hotel positioned along the Chao Phraya River in the Samre neighbourhood of Thonburi. The hotel's riverside address places it on the west bank of one of Southeast Asia's most iconic waterways, offering a distinctive Bangkok setting that differs markedly from the city's busy commercial districts on the opposite shore. Guests and delegates travelling from the city centre can reach the property via the hotel's complimentary shuttle boat service, which connects to BTS Saphan Taksin station — making Galaxy 1 a practical choice for events whose attendees are arriving from across Bangkok.
The space sits within a property that carries the Avani+ brand positioning: design-forward, guest-centric, and contemporary in execution. That sensibility extends into the hotel's meeting and events facilities, where modern interiors and functional layouts are designed to support a professional event experience without sacrificing atmosphere.
Suited for Corporate and Social Events
Galaxy 1 is well-suited to a range of corporate and social occasions. Its configuration makes it appropriate for corporate conferences, product launches, seminars, training days, and business dinners, as well as social celebrations such as cocktail receptions and milestone gatherings. The modular nature of the hotel's ballroom-level spaces means that Galaxy 1 can often be used as a standalone venue for smaller functions or combined with adjacent halls — including Galaxy 2 and the broader Galaxy Ballroom — to accommodate larger groups. Clients planning events of varying scales will find this flexibility particularly useful when building a programme that requires breakout capacity alongside a main plenary or dining room.
The events team at Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel supports planners with in-house catering, audiovisual equipment, and dedicated event coordination, in keeping with the standards expected of an internationally branded hotel in this tier. Thai and international menus can typically be arranged through the hotel's culinary team, allowing organisers to tailor food and beverage offerings to the profile of their guests.
Location and Access on the Chao Phraya
The Samre area of Thonburi gives Galaxy 1 and the wider property a quieter, more residential character than the hotel zones clustered around Sukhumvit or Silom. Iconic Bangkok landmarks — including Wat Arun (the Temple of Dawn), visible across the river, and the Grand Palace complex — are within a short boat ride, lending the riverside setting a genuine sense of place that guests from overseas consistently find memorable. For events with international attendees flying into Suvarnabhumi Airport, the hotel is accessible via expressway, and the river shuttle connection to the BTS network provides a central transit link without requiring delegates to navigate the city's road traffic.
This combination of a storied riverside address, a recognisable international hotel brand, and adaptable event space makes Galaxy 1 a considered option for planners seeking a Bangkok venue that balances accessibility, professionalism, and an authentic sense of the city.

Early enquiry is recommended for peak event periods and public holidays in Bangkok.
Galaxy 1 is an indoor hotel event space, which generally provides more flexibility around noise than open-air or rooftop venues.
