If you qualify for the 10 year LTR visa (there are 4 categories) this would be a far better option at just THB50k

What are the best areas to stay in Bangkok and how can I extend my visa?

Don *********

the Japanese food around Soi 31 is superb and very authentic. Great massage at Healthland at Asok. Join in Tai Chi in Queen’s Park at dawn or dusk. Movies at Terminal 21 or The Emporium. Arthouse movies at a tiny cinema on Soi 22

Riverside isn't great for tourists in my opinion - far better to relocate to Sukhumvit where you can walk to pretty much everything you would want. Find a hotel / apartment within a 5 minute walk of Phrom Pong / Asok / Nana BTS and you will be spoiled for choice
