Sawasdee Bangkok.
Text: Jens Hoffmann
There are always new faces at the top of the travelcharts; but I love it to be here.
Bangkok began as a small trading centre and port community on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River some 200 years ago. Today, while the city is up to speed with modern times, the grandeur and glory of its illustrious past still prevails.
Be it dazzling temples, spectacular palaces, a world-famous floating market or colourful Chinatown, each of these famous places has an intriguing story to tell.
The Sukhothai Hotel in Bangkok in Sathorn, next to Lumpini parc is always one my favourite choices in the “City of Angels”.
Its my favourite place – located on South Sathorn, just next to MRT Lumphini.
I am familiar and in love with this area where I used to live for three years from 2006 – 2009, on Sathorn Soi 1.
Sanuk.
Luxury means different things to different people.
For some people its a visual threat others define it in more sensual way both will be more than happy.
The Sukhothai staff makes guests feel at home within minutes of arrival and will do their best, round the clock, to provide fantastic service and amazing spa experiences.
Perfect place for foodies like me, Australian-born Executive Chef Antony Scholtmeyer has devoted his life to his passion for the culinary world.
From his apprenticeship at his family restaurant in Melbourne to his work with some of the best chefs in top restaurants across Australia to his experience across Europe and Japan, he spent seven years at Ritz-Carlton hotels around the world, where he broadened and perfected his knowledge and skill, winning awards and recognition.
More recently as an Executive Chef at the InterContinental, Antony had the opportunity to lead the Food & Beverage team for four years in China before coming to The Sukhothai Bangkok to bring diners his culinary creativity and expertise.
Absolute amazing experience.
Besides this you will find lots of other local food opportunities like thai crab curry.
The large executive deluxe rooms feel like colonial suites in a royal guesthouse, furnished with teakwood and Thai fabrics and are just perfect for family holidays, honeymoon breaks or small business meetings. Large comfortable bathrooms with wooden floors and large tubs round off the refined picture. The typical thai breakfast is included.
Bangkok becomes more and more a cultural hub.
Great experience.
