Riva Vista Riverfront Resort tells its story in name alone — on the north bank of the Kok, this tranquil retreat offers tropical resort-level comforts within minutes of central Chiang Rai. The angular, futuristic facade transitions to a whimsical stack of guestrooms, with most opening onto the lush pool and lounger area. There are also fitness and full-service spa facilities on site. Contemporary, clean-lined rooms come with blonde wood detailing, sunken bathtubs, and river views.
