Anantara Vacation Club Avani Riverside

The resort and its setting

Anantara Vacation Club Avani Riverside Bangkok is a riverside property on Charoen Nakhon Road in the Thon Buri district, directly on the Chao Phraya River and a short boat ride from the city's main sights. Google reviewers rate it 4.6 out of 5 from nearly 8,800 reviews, and the editorial summary describes "polished rooms in a riverside hotel offering 6 restaurants, 3 bars & a cooking school" — a fair description of a resort built around river views, varied dining and hands-on extras like the cooking classes rather than a beach or pool-led layout. It's part of the wider Anantara Vacation Club collection, which operates across several Anantara and Avani properties in Thailand and beyond.

The area and things to do

Bangkok's Thon Buri side of the river is quieter than the business district opposite, but it's well connected: river shuttle boats run along the Chao Phraya to Sathorn pier and on to the Skytrain network, making it easy to reach Bangkok's temples, markets and malls without sitting in traffic. The resort's own river frontage means many owners simply watch the longtail boats and cargo barges go by from a balcony or one of the on-site restaurants rather than venturing out every day. Within the wider city, expect the usual mix that draws people to Bangkok: riverside dining, night markets, temple visits and day trips further afield into central Thailand.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Avani Riverside Bangkok and no longer use it, listing it for private resale on BidMyTimeshare.com is straightforward: you set your own asking price, your listing goes live for a flat one-time fee, and interested buyers contact you directly through the platform — there's no commission taken on the sale. The same applies to renting out a week you're not using; you set the rental terms and deal with enquiries yourself.

According to Anantara Vacation Club, resale transfers at its resorts are subject to a transfer fee and a right of first refusal held by the club, meaning the club has the option to buy back the week on the agreed terms before a sale to an outside buyer can complete. Owners thinking of selling should confirm the current transfer fee directly with Anantara Vacation Club before agreeing a price with a buyer, since this fee is paid as part of completing the transfer and isn't something BidMyTimeshare.com collects or sets.

Anyone buying a resale week at this resort should ask the seller, or Anantara Vacation Club directly, exactly what does and doesn't carry over on transfer — typically this means the usage rights tied to the week and unit type, but not necessarily any accumulated loyalty points or club tier benefits, which are often non-transferable. Buyers should also check the current annual maintenance fee before committing, as this is a recurring cost that owners are familiar with but won't necessarily appear in a one-off listing.

Owners here also have access to Interval International, which is worth mentioning to a prospective buyer if week-for-week exchanges elsewhere are part of what makes the week appealing to them.

Practical notes

Bangkok is a year-round destination with a hot, humid climate and a distinct rainy season roughly from June to October, which is worth factoring in if you're renting out a week rather than using it yourself, since rental demand can shift with the weather. The resort's river-shuttle access to the Skytrain system is a practical selling point worth mentioning in any listing, as it takes the hassle out of getting around Bangkok's traffic.
