About Riva Vista Riverfront Chiang Rai
Riva Vista Riverfront sits along the banks of the Kok River in Chiang Rai, offering guests a quiet resort experience within easy reach of the city's key landmarks. The Blue Temple is a five-minute walk away, while the night markets and cultural sites of central Chiang Rai remain comfortably accessible. The riverside setting gives the property a calm, unhurried atmosphere that sets it apart from more centrally situated hotels.
Rooms are spacious and modern, with several featuring private pool access or direct river views. The resort has two swimming pools and an on-site restaurant, giving guests plenty of reason to linger between sightseeing. Visitor accounts consistently highlight the quality of the rooms relative to the price, the attentive service, and the appeal of waking up to Kok River views — making it a popular choice for travelers who want comfort without sacrificing proximity to Chiang Rai's highlights.

My husband and I stayed here after leaving another hotel due to a bad experience and we are so glad we changed hotels! This place is right along the river and has two pools and a fantastic restaurant! The pools were around 22 degrees when we were there in February so not too cold. The bed was very comfortable and actually had bounce to it! If you’ve ever gotten a bad hotel in Thailand you know the beds are like box springs, but this one was awesome! The room was clean and comes with its own swimming pool (very large bath tub). The walk in shower was perfect and best water pressure we’ve seen. Check in was lovely and the staff gave us tea and took our bags to the room. We did eat at the restaurant both for breakfast which had a great spread! And we had dinner there one night which was delicious :) I recommend the Mian Kam, sausage stuffed chicken wings, pork neck with noodles, and the pork rib khao soi. The last was particularly delicious as they put cinnamon in the sauce :) The staff was incredibly kind, friendly and helpful! Would recommend this hotel to friends and if I’m in Chiang Rai again, would stay here! Enjoy!
A truly fabulous retreat in Chiang Rai, steps from the stunning Blue Temple — literally a 5-minute walk. Rooms are well-appointed and comfortable, with a gorgeous river view that made the stay. The restaurant delivers an excellent complimentary breakfast, and lunch was equally impressive. Strong wine list too. When the staff learned it was my birthday, they surprised me with a cake — a genuinely thoughtful touch that caught me off guard. Special mention to front desk staff Minnie and manager M., whose hospitality was exceptional throughout. We’re already planning a return visit this winter. Highly recommend for anyone heading north.
I stayed here twice in 2025 and both times were fantastic. It’s a small, quiet resort that is perfect if you are looking for serenity. The riverside location offers a great view and is the perfect spot to relax. The rooms were consistently clean and well-maintained. Service was good throughout my stays. I also appreciated the breakfast spread—it was just right without being wasteful. Highly recommended for a peaceful getaway.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts
Compare OTAs and Direct Rates
Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.
Location Matters More Than Stars
A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
