Sala Rim Nam Restaurant, located on the banks of the Chao Phraya river, opposite the Oriental Hotel, is one of the best places to sample royal Thai cuisine. Infact, one of the best night views of the Chao Phraya River is from the Sala Rim Nam Restaurant. Housed in a lavishly decorated Thai pavilion, originating from Northern Thailand, the restaurant is also the setting for one of the kingdom's unique cultural experiences - classical Thai dancing, performed by dancers from Bangkok's Department of Fine Arts, beside your table. The one-hour show includes royal dances of the Sukhothai and Ayutthaya periods, as well as various folk dances.
For getting a true flavour of the Thai dining culture, an evening at the Sala Rim Nam restaurant is a must
