An internet friend of mine is planning an extended visit to Thailand with wife and kids. He's a high end chef and that's his primary interest. Their budget is fairly high (I think) but they are not looking for luxury....they just hate hotels.

I am sure he is capable of locating rental properties on the riverfront in Bangkok (if such exist), but has no idea what life is really like on the river. He has visited Thailand on two other occasions and has taken the obligatory river tours and got this idea from that experience.

So I told him I would ask around and see if any of you might have some impressions of what is available on the river and what actually living on it is like.

He's a Floridian and not unaccustomed to heat, humidity, and large insects...but I'm sure they would prefer Air Conditioning.

I should clarify. They want to rent a house, not a condo with a riverview. They want to be right on the river.
