About

River City (ศูนย์การค้าริเวอร์ซิตี้), 23 Trok Rongnamkhaeng (Si Phraya pier, next to Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel), ☎ +66 2 237-0077, [7]. 10:00-20:00 daily. Easily accessible by Express Boat, this shopping mall has Bangkok's best collection of arts, crafts, antiques, pottery, ornaments, sculptures and wood carvings — but these are the real thing and definitely priced to match. Note that real antiques and religious images will require export licences, though the shops can arrange them for you (for a fee). Every first Saturday of the month, a monthly auction of crafts is held at the River City auditorium. One of the more interesting stores is Old Maps & Prints at the fourth floor. They have a fascinating collection of old maps with an emphasis on Thailand and Southeast Asia, but anything over a century old will set you back several thousand baht.
