Anantara Vacation Club Anantara Riverside

The resort and its riverside setting

Anantara Vacation Club at Anantara Riverside is a resort on Charoen Nakhon Road in Samrae, Khet Thon Buri — right on the water in one of Bangkok's older riverside neighbourhoods. Google reviews highlight "polished rooms" alongside six restaurants, three bars and a cooking school, giving a sense of a resort built around dining and hospitality as much as accommodation. With a 4.6/5 rating from nearly 8,800 Google reviews, it's clearly a resort that keeps guests coming back.

The river setting is part of the appeal: Bangkok's long-tail boats and river ferries run along the Chao Phraya just outside the door, giving owners and renters an easy, traffic-free way into the old city.

Bangkok and the Thon Buri side of the river

Thon Buri is the quieter, older bank of Bangkok, facing the main city across the Chao Phraya. From the resort, river transport puts owners within reach of Wat Arun (the Temple of Dawn), the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and the markets and shophouses of the old town. Bangkok itself needs little introduction: it's a city of temples, street food, river life, shopping malls and some of Southeast Asia's busiest nightlife, all within a single metropolitan area.

Because the resort sits on the river rather than in the central business district, it tends to suit owners who want a base that feels a little removed from Bangkok's traffic and noise, while still being a short ride from the main sights.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Anantara Riverside and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — you simply pay a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers.

Before listing, it's worth having a few answers ready, since serious buyers will ask:

- **Transfer process:** Anantara Vacation Club handles resales through its own transfer process rather than an open resale market, so check with the Club what paperwork and approval steps apply to your specific week before agreeing a price with a buyer. - **Right of first refusal:** some Anantara Vacation Club contracts give the Club or its affiliated entity first refusal rights on resale transactions. Confirm whether this applies to your ownership, as it can affect how a sale is finalised. - **What the buyer receives:** a resale buyer takes over your contracted week (and any banked usage, where transferable) but does not automatically inherit loyalty tier benefits or promotional perks tied to your original purchase — these are typically brand-specific and non-transferable. - **Annual fees:** be ready to quote your current annual maintenance fee, since buyers will factor this into their offer.

Owners here also have access to Interval International, a verified exchange network for this resort — a genuine draw for buyers who want the flexibility to trade their week for stays elsewhere.

Practical notes for owners and buyers

Renters researching Bangkok properties typically look for proximity to the river, easy transport into the old city, and on-site dining — all features this resort can point to directly. When listing, be clear about which week(s) you hold, note your unit size and view, and confirm your maintenance fee is current, since buyers will want this settled before completing a transfer.
