Avani Riverside Bangkok Hotel

The resort and its setting

Avani Riverside Bangkok is a sleek, independently run property on Charoen Nakhon Road, on the Khlong San side of Thon Buri, facing the busier downtown bank. Reviewers consistently rate it 4.6 out of 5 across more than 6,800 Google reviews, and the editorial summary is blunt about why: river views from most rooms, a rooftop pool, bars, a spa and elegant dining. This is first and foremost a hotel-style timeshare, rather than a villa or apartment-complex resort — worth knowing if you're used to self-catering timeshare weeks elsewhere.

The Thon Buri side of Bangkok has quieter, more residential streets than the Sukhumvit or Silom tourist strips, but it's connected to everything by the river itself. Longtail boats, the Chao Phraya Express Boat piers and hotel shuttle boats mean you're rarely more than a short ride from the action, without having to deal with Bangkok's infamous traffic every time you leave the property.

The area and things to do

Bangkok suits owners who like to pair sightseeing with downtime in equal measure. Across the river and a short boat or taxi ride away are the city's heavyweight attractions — temples, markets, and riverside promenades that keep visitor numbers high year-round. The hotel's own rooftop pool and spa are enough for a lazy day, but most owners use a week here as a base for exploring: river cruises at dusk, the flower and food markets lining the banks, and the shopping districts on the opposite shore.

Because Bangkok is a year-round city break rather than a strictly seasonal beach destination, weeks here tend to suit owners who want flexibility — city breaks, stopovers en route to islands further south, or a standalone Thailand holiday built around the capital itself.

Selling or renting a week here

Listing a week at Avani Riverside Bangkok on BidMyTimeshare.com works the same way as any other resort on the platform: this is a private, owner-to-owner resale and rental marketplace, so you set your own asking price or weekly rent, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the site. There's a small one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers, and BidMyTimeshare.com takes 0% commission on the sale or rental itself — what you agree with the buyer is what you keep.

Because this resort operates independently, with its ownership affiliated to an exchange network rather than tied to a branded timeshare chain with its own in-house resale desk, any transfer of ownership will go through the resort's own owners' association or management company, not through BidMyTimeshare.com. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort or its managing body: the transfer fee that applies to change the week into the buyer's name, and the current annual maintenance fee, since these vary and aren't fixed by the marketplace. A resale buyer should expect to receive the week itself, along with whatever points or exchange privileges are formally attached to it, but not any loyalty perks, promotional stays or benefits that were tied personally to the original owner's account.

Worth flagging: this resort's ownership is affiliated with RCI, so if your week carries RCI exchange rights, that's a genuine selling point to mention in your listing — buyers who already use RCI will recognise the value straight away.

Practical notes

Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports both serve the city, and most owners arrange a taxi or hotel transfer rather than relying on public transport for the airport leg, given the distance and traffic involved. Within the city, the river boats are the easiest way to get around if you're based riverside, and they're usually faster than a taxi at peak times.

If you're listing a week for rent rather than sale, be upfront in your ad about exactly what's included — room type, view, and whether breakfast or any resort credits are part of the week — since buyers researching a hotel-style timeshare like this one will want those specifics before they commit.
