ELEGANT TRAVELLER

Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok Blogs

Bangkok's historical hotel - Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok - manages to appear in the top ranks of practically every poll of international hotel properties. Here, history comes alive in the wonderfully traditional service (all guests have a personal butler) and in the extravagant guest rooms and suites, where soft Thai silks shimmer and orchids abound. Not to mention the convenience of having temples, palaces, markets and designer shopping all on your doorstep.
