Fodor's Expert Review Sala Rim Naam

Come to Sala Rim Naam—part of the Mandarin Oriental hotel but across the river—to soak up the atmosphere, which includes a classical Thai dancing show nightly at 7:45 pm in an indoor pavilion, or to enjoy the romantic mood of alfresco tables overlooking the river. The renditions of Thai food are rather Westernized, but the set dinners, buffet lunches, and à la carte menus offer plenty of choices.  There is a complimentary shuttle boat across the Chao Phraya River from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
