Bangkok, the vibrant capital of Thailand, is a dynamic blend of rich cultural heritage and modern sophistication. You can explore iconic landmarks like the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and Wat Arun, where intricate architecture and serene temples offer a glimpse into Thailand’s spiritual heart.
Along with the rich cultural sights, don’t miss the lively nightlife, floating markets, and delicious street food that define the city’s unique charm.

Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River
For a luxurious stay in Bangkok, Four Seasons by the Chao Phraya River is an excellent choice. Though distant from city attractions, it offers a peaceful, resort-like vibe compared to city hotels located more centrally. How can we forget the Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits?
