Two nights exploring Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand’s dynamic capital, is a city where tradition meets modernity in an extraordinary fusion. Famous for its lively streets, intricate temples, and delectable cuisine, Bangkok offers a rich tapestry of experiences. The Grand Palace and the stunning Wat Arun stand as testaments to the city’s historical grandeur, while the Chatuchak markets and numerous street food vendors provide a feast for the senses. Navigating the city’s labyrinthine canals, known as khlongs, reveals another layer of its charm and the vibrant nightlife, with its rooftop bars and night markets, showcases Bangkok’s contemporary pulse.
Where you could stay
Bangkok
Overview
The product of an innovative collaboration between an award-winning architect and five of Thailand’s leading designers, the Sofitel So Bangkok is a hotel that embodies the epitome of design and modern luxury.
238 rooms and suites come in a variety of sizes and four unique room design themes; Water, Earth, Wood and Metal. Each theme features a different lay-out and decor, styled by world renowned fashion designer Monsieur Christian Lacroix. Depending upon their location within the hotel, rooms offer views of Bangkok city, Chao Praya River or Lumpini Park and come equipped with the latest technology – think electronic curtains and Apple Mac Mini multimedia entertainment.
When it’s time to dine, you’ll be spoilt for choice with three restaurants, a rooftop restaurant and bar, a lounge and a ‘Chocolab’ dedicated to tailor-made confectionary, while the 32-meter infinity pool on the 10th floor will give you the impression of swimming in mid-air, high above the bustling city streets.
Step outside the comfort of this luxury hotel, and you’ll find yourself brilliantly placed to discover all of Bangkok’s main attractions such as temples, shopping malls, museums, parks, restaurants and street food.

Overview
Providing extraordinary service and overlooking the Chao Phraya river, the Mandarin Oriental is undeniably one of the city’s premier hotels. If you’re interested in history, a stay here is a must: it’s the longest established hotel in Thailand and became one of the Mandarin Oriental group’s flagship properties due to its distinguished history.
Walk into the hotel’s magnificent lobby, and you’ll be greeted by a spectacular flower display, for which the hotel is famous throughout Bangkok. Choose between a variety of rooms from entry-level luxury in the Superior Rooms to the considerably more spacious State Rooms and Authors’ Suites. Each room is designed in a colonial style with white slatted doors, dark wooden features and light pastel shades. You’ll benefit from a butler assigned to your room during your stay.
The hotel also has eight restaurants; take your pick between traditional Thai, seafood, fine French cuisine and many more options. Drink tea in the opulent Authors’ Lounge or enjoy some jazz and cocktails in the Bamboo Bar if you’re looking to unwind after a long flight.
In a prime location overlooking the Chao Phraya river, the Mandarin Oriental is close to some of Bangkok’s most popular attractions. Cruise along the ‘Venice of the East’ and take a long boat out onto the city canals, threading your way towards some of the city’s cultural highlights, including the Grand Palace, various temples and the famous Floating Market.

Overview
The vast W-shaped tower of The Peninsula Bangkok offers everything you would expect from a world-class hotel; exceptional hospitality, a great location and a huge range of facilities to keep you amused.
The hotel’s unique shape ensures magnificent views across the river and cityscape from every room. Some of the largest in Bangkok, these are appointed in a traditional aesthetic – dark wood panelling, fine fabrics feature throughout and large, marble bathrooms – but contain all the vital amenities for the modern traveller. The premier suites include opulent details such as open-air terraces and outdoor Jacuzzis.
During your stay, you’ll enjoy relaxing by the pool area, serviced by its own bar and dining at the numerous, fine in-house restaurants that serve a range of Cantonese, Thai and international cuisine.

Overview
Championing bold contemporary design with Thai, Colonial, Jazz Age and Art Deco accents, the Siam hotel may only have 39 suites but provides some of the most spacious and fashionable accommodation in all Bangkok.
It also sports three restaurants, where you can enjoy excellent Thai cuisine in Chon Thai Restaurant (which also hosts a cookery school), an international menu in the stylish art deco-themed Deco Bar & Bistro and indulgent private dinners at the Chef’s Table. The Bather’s Bar next to the hotel’s infinity pool is the place for light snacks and refreshing cocktails after a dip in the waters and to watch life on the river pass by. You can even enjoy a more secluded dining experience out on the hotel pier for a private bespoke meal.
Commanding a prime location overlooking the Chao Phraya River close to the Krung Thon Bridge, all suites feature king-size beds, opulent Chinese antiquity, terraces, complimentary Wi-Fi and butler service. The Pool Villas are a perfect choice for those desiring that extra touch of privacy.

On foot
By boat
A foodie walk and culture tour through Chinatown
Embark on a private tour to uncover the flavours of Bangkok’s historic Chinatown, a district steeped in 200 years of rich ethnic tradition and delectable cuisine.
Throughout the walking tour, indulge in tastings from several renowned eateries, ranging from street food vendors to prestigious fine dining establishments.
Between each culinary stop, delve deeper into this vibrant neighbourhood with behind-the-scenes glimpses, meeting lively characters at the food bazaar, hearing captivating stories and visiting religious and cultural landmarks.
A longtail boat experience along Bangkok's canals
Discover the city’s ways of life and iconic monuments from the water. Take a ride along the Chao Phraya River, also known as the ‘River of Kings’. Admire the passing skyline where glittering pagodas stand in the shadows of towering skyscrapers.
The boat then turns off the main waterway and onto the canals, or ‘klongs’. Now you’ll see why Bangkok is often called the Venice of the East. Capture glimpses of small villages on the water’s edge and enjoy the slower pace of life away from the city centre.
Cruise back onto the Chao Phraya to visit Wat Arun, a 79m high pagoda built in a style similar to Angkor Wat. Meaning ‘Temple of Dawn’, Wat Arun is one Thailand’s most beautiful temples.
Picked for you
A Champagne dinner cruise along the Chao Phraya River
Experience the enchantment of Bangkok from a unique perspective on a romantic champagne dinner cruise along the Chao Phraya River. Begin your evening with a glass of chilled champagne, setting the perfect tone for an exquisite six-course dinner. As you drift along the river, marvel at the city’s mesmerizing night-time views. After your meal, unwind on cozy lounge sofas, sharing intimate moments under the starlit sky.
A visit to the Grand Palace
Discover the dazzling Grand Palace, the revered residence of Thailand’s royal family for over 200 years. Wander through this magnificent complex, featuring opulent palaces, sacred temples, and fascinating museums, while delving into the rich history of Thai royalty. Don’t miss the chance to see the Emerald Buddha, one of Thailand’s most sacred and revered statues, before you leave.
Three nights in Chiang Mai
Explore the wonderful city of Chiang Mai and spend time enjoying the surrounding countryside. Much smaller and more relaxed than Bangkok, it’s steeped in history and you can spend hours wandering around the temples and night markets in the Old Town. If you fancy heading out of town, you’ll be perfectly placed to explore the surrounding national parks and try out a few more adventurous activities.

Chiang Mai's temples
A hot air balloon ride over Chiang Mai
Experience an unforgettable hot air balloon ride over Chiang Mai’s stunning landscape. Begin early with a transfer to the launch site on the outskirts. Savor a cup of coffee as you watch the balloon inflate and gracefully ascend into the sky.
After a safety briefing, board the basket and feel the exhilaration as the pilot ignites the burners, lifting you gently into the air. As you ascend, enjoy breathtaking views of the countryside, including fields, rice paddies, and the lush Ping River valley. Glide over rural Thai villages and relish the serene atmosphere of the open skies.
After 1-1.5 hours of flight, descend for a countryside landing. Celebrate your adventure with a traditional champagne toast
A spiritual discovery of Chiang Mai
Embark on a spiritual journey in Chiang Mai by first exploring the city’s old town. Wander through the ancient city walls, marvel at the blend of historic and modern architecture and catch glimpses of shimmering pagoda spires bathed in the afternoon sun.
Visit the secluded jungle temple, Wat Phalad, renowned for its tranquility and rich history, housing a relic of the Buddha. Receive a blessing from a resident monk for health and fortune.
Continue your spiritual exploration outside the city centre with a scenic drive into the hills. Ascend the stairs of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, adorned with intricate naga sculptures. At the summit, discover the 14th-century pagoda’s storied past and admire panoramic views of Chiang Mai. Experience the mesmerising evening chants of the monks as the sun sets, a serene conclusion to your day’s spiritual odyssey.
Four nights in Koh Yao Noi
A far cry from the quickly developing Phuket, yet only a one-hour boat ride away, Koh Yao Noi is considered one of the last unspoiled islands in the south of Thailand, offering a peaceful and enviable Thai beach experience.
Sitting in the middle of Phang Nga Bay, this laid-back haven is encircled by secluded beaches giving way to rice paddies, while the lush interior of rubber plantations and mangroves can be explored on motorbikes and tuk-tuks. Unlike some Thai islands – and for many this will be welcome relief – you won’t find a roaring nightlife or a notable shopping scene here; instead, look out for buffaloes taking mud baths, go snorkelling around the vibrant coral reefs and simply soak up the serene atmosphere.
Where you could stay
Koh Yao Noi
Highlights
- 56 private villas
- Spa and fitness centre

- Three restaurants and two bars

Overview

By taking a sustainable approach to hospitality, this resort implements an Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy, focusing on protecting the environment, energy efficiency, water and waste management, noise control and air quality.
Choose from ocean, beachfront or hideaway villas; you can be perched on the cliffs with sweeping panoramas, hunkered down in the treeline just steps away from the white-sand beach, or secluded in the lush confines of tropical forest.
The dining experiences at this resort reflect its eco-conscious outlook, with menus designed around a farm-to-table initiative, ingredients homegrown, and many products made on-site or sourced from local suppliers to eliminate plastic packaging and the carbon footprint of deliveries.
