Bangkok, the cultural & commercial centre of Thailand, is a fascinating mix of the traditionally old and thoroughly modern. A mixture of ancient traditions and glorious temples are juxtaposed with heavy traffic, honking horns and the constant stream of people walking, talking and cooking on the pavements the city has a magical and highly charged atmosphere.
There's much more to the city than traffic and street-food, see the sights from a long-tailed boat on the Chao Phraya River or dine alfresco on the 60th floor of a five star hotel and admire the panorama from above.

In a country where attention to detail is everything, it pays to make the most of luxurious Thai design, the incredible hospitality and beautiful surroundings. Orchids, Oversized vases, Flickering tea lights and stylish
exotic hardwood furniture are just a few of the little touches that make all the difference in Bangkok’s hotels.
The Banyan Tree in Silom Sathorn is a luxe sanctuary of peace. All the rooms are beautifully decorated with sumptuous silks and teak wood, the service is immaculate and the rooftop pool has a jaw-dropping skyline view. Upgrade to a club-room and you get the benefit of plenty of great freebies and are treated like absolute royalty.
Right next door, you’ll find the slinky Sukhothai , where more luxury awaits. The hotel blends East and West, tradition and modernity perfectly – from its pristine interiors to the beautiful Jim Thompson silks and the calming water features of the gardens.
