[Thailand: Bangkok] Mandarin Oriental Hotel Bangkok
Follow me to Mandarin Oriental Hotel Bangkok - the first luxury hotel in Bangkok! Founded as The Oriental in 1876, the legendary property has a rich history of hosting esteemed royalties and celebrities. Although the hotel is nearly 150 years old, you wouldn’t know it from appearance as it has undergone multiple renovations to preserve the historic character with modern updates. The rooms are spread across the newer River Wing and the Garden Wing in the original Oriental Hotel building. We stayed in the gorgeous State Room in the River Wing with a separate seating area and panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River from the floor-to-ceiling windows and balcony. The decor is a beautiful blend of Thai and Western aesthetics with dark wood furnishings and colorful silk from Jim Thompson. See more about my stay in my reel here .
