About Rintaro at Salil Journey Riverside
Rintaro at The Salil Hotel Riverside is a branch of the Japanese gelato brand Rintaro, one of several food and drink outlets in this hotel on the Chao Phraya River off Charoen Krung Road in Bang Kho Laem. Wongnai reviewers mention the riverside setting inside the hotel and note that seating is limited.
It serves Japanese-style gelato made from fresh, natural ingredients, with more than 18 rotating flavors such as Camembert cheese, black sesame mochi and Japanese sweet potato. Wongnai puts prices at around 150 baht, in the 101 to 250 baht range, and you can taste flavors for 5 baht a spoon before choosing.
It makes an easy dessert stop after dinner by the river or a walk along Charoen Krung. Try a few tastes, share a couple of scoops, then sit near the water. It stays open until 10 pm, so it also works as a late sweet treat. Reviewers say some flavors are subtle, so go for the stronger-tasting ones if you like bold sweets.
