More than 150 years on the river. The legend every other Bangkok hotel is measured against.
Mandarin Oriental Bangkok has welcomed guests on the Chao Phraya since the nineteenth century, and its Authors' Wing still carries the names of the writers who stayed. Few hotels anywhere hold their history this lightly.
The hotel spans both banks. Guests take the hotel's own boat across the river to the spa and the Thai restaurant on the Thonburi side, which turns a simple dinner into a small voyage.
