About Ravipa
The Ravipa Ballroom
The Ravipa ballroom at Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok is a refined, pillar-free event space designed to host grand celebrations and high-profile corporate gatherings along the banks of the Chao Phraya River. Its column-free layout is one of its most practical advantages, ensuring unobstructed sightlines across every seat — a detail that matters enormously for gala dinners, award ceremonies, and presentations where visibility and atmosphere are equally important. The ballroom's interior combines contemporary elegance with warm Thai accents, creating an environment that feels both internationally sophisticated and distinctively local.
Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok rises 34 floors above the Chao Phraya River in the Wat Phraya Krai district on the east bank, a quieter and more residential stretch of riverside Bangkok that nonetheless places guests within easy reach of the city's major landmarks. The hotel operates its own shuttle ferry across to Asiatique The Riverfront, making the riverside setting genuinely accessible rather than simply scenic.
Events & Occasions
The Ravipa is well suited to the full spectrum of large-format events: traditional Thai and international weddings, corporate conferences, product launches, gala dinners, and milestone celebrations. The pillar-free footprint allows event designers to configure the space flexibly — theatre, banquet, cocktail, or classroom layouts — without structural constraints compromising the plan. The hotel's dedicated events team works with planners on bespoke arrangements, from floral and décor design through to customised menus drawn from the culinary expertise across the hotel's multiple dining outlets.
Wedding planners in particular are drawn to Ravipa for the combination of scale and finish: the room can accommodate large guest lists without sacrificing the intimacy that a polished interior and attentive service provide. Corporate clients value the reliable audiovisual infrastructure and the hotel's established track record for multi-day conferences, where the broader property — including its riverside pool deck, restaurants, and 374 suites and serviced apartments — serves as a self-contained event campus for delegates travelling from out of town.
Location & Accessibility
Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok sits on Charoen Krung Road in the Wat Phraya Krai neighbourhood, approximately 5 kilometres south of the Silom business district. The hotel operates a complimentary shuttle boat to Sathorn Pier (Central Pier), which connects guests directly to the BTS Skytrain network at Saphan Taksin station — making the riverside location far more convenient than it might appear on a map. Suvarnabhumi International Airport is reachable in roughly 40 to 50 minutes by road depending on traffic, and Don Mueang International Airport lies further north of the city centre. On-site parking is available for guests arriving by car, and the hotel's concierge team can arrange transfers. For event delegates, the combination of the shuttle boat, road access, and a full suite of on-property accommodation makes Ravipa a genuinely self-sufficient venue choice in one of Bangkok's most evocative riverside settings.
