Top Hotels in Bangkok!
1. The Hyatt Regency
The Hyatt Regency in Bangkok is a gorgeous 5 star hotel in the heart of Sukhumvit, an elegant area of Bangkok known as a place for upscale shopping!
The hotel has a wonderful variety of facilities, from gorgeous pools, to a state of the art fitness centre, to a rooftop lounge and bar with an amazing view of the Bangkok skyline! With 5 different restaurants and bars, you’re spoiled for choice here! Dine on traditional Thai food at the Market Café or enjoy some light bites at their poolside restaurant!
The hotel has 1,359 square metres of events space, with the largest room featuring gorgeous floor to ceiling windows that flood the room with natural light. The wonderful variety of events spaces offered here allows for the Hyatt to cater from the most intimate of events to the grandest!
2. The Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre
The Centara Grand is a hotel like no other. With 55 stories, this hotel has more than enough room to cater to your every need. With an award winning holistic lifestyle complex, tennis courts and an outdoor pool with a sun deck to soak in the glorious Thai weather, what more could you ask for?
The hotel also houses The Bangkok Convention Centre which is an absolutely ideal venue for all kinds of events. From meetings by the pool catered with tropical shakes, to larger than life conferences held in the massive centre – nothing is too big an ask.
3. Siam Kempinski Hotel
Located in the heart of Bangkok this 5 star hotel is truly luxurious. The hotel features 3 restaurants, one of them being the Michelin starred Sra Bua by Kim, a must try culinary experience! The hotel is also connected by a covered walkway to the famous Siam Paragon Mall and is home to a remarkable collection of 21 gorgeous artworks by talented Thai artists for something a bit different.
The hotel features elegant function rooms that have a distinctly Thai feeling to them, from large capacity rooms to private dining catered to by gourmet chefs that pride themselves on harmonising European flair with local traditional cooking, this hotel can deliver anything!
A further bonus of this hotel that we at Panoptic adore is that it makes a conscious effort to employ sustainable practices such as getting rid of single use plastics and employing energy and water saving systems throughout their hotel! They also make sure their produce is locally sourced which cuts down on emissions while ensuring that its always tasty and fresh!
4. Anantara Riverside Bangkok
Another eco conscious pick from us, the Anantara Riverside is a luxury hotel with a culinary focus! The hotel resides on the banks of the Chao Phraya river and offers a number of bustling and lively entertainment options such as salsa dancing classes!
The bars and restaurants at the hotel vary from jaw dropping restaurants where your old is prepared in front of your eyes, to old timey cocktail bars, to romantic riverside dining experiences. We recommend however checking out the culinary school located in the hotel and making your own Thai food! It’s an experience you can take with you back home!
Top Incentives in Bangkok!
1. Sky Bangkok
Looking for a bit of movie magic during your trip to Thailand? Visit Sky Bangkok, the iconic rooftop bar from the Hangover 2! Suspended on a precipice 820 feet in the air, Sky is a unique experience, unlike any other rooftop bar you’ve tried before. The vibe at Sky changes hour to hour with the natural light, come at sunset for a romantic vibe or after dark for a party with the buzzing lights of the cityscape behind you.
It’s not just the jaw dropping height of Sky, or its Hollywood history that gives it its appeal, the cocktails are more than a draw of their own here! With world class mixologists making everything from fresh twists on classic cocktails to new inventions that will blow your mind, there’s something for everyone here.
2. Floating Markets
Situated across a series of canals and rivers lie Bangkok’s iconic floating markets. These lively markets offer you everything from handmade trinkets, to herbal medicines and even street food – all sold to you from the back of a boat!
There are a number of floating markets across Bangkok for you to experience this wonderful cultural and culinary experience! A must do during your time in Bangkok!
3. Tuk Tuk Convoy
Want to travel in style and experience Bangkok in a unique way? This activity is a thrilling way to discover the city. Jump on your very own convoy of Tuk Tuk’s and race your way through the streets off the city! You’ll have the time of your life competing with your friends and laughing your way through the ride. We guarantee you’ll be the envy of everyone you pass.
4. Monk Blessing Ceremony
A highly cultural incentive, a traditional Monk blessing ceremony. Truly connect with Thailand and enjoy this authentic experience. Meet Thai Buddhist Monks and have your group brought together for this significant experience! You’ll feel closer to each other and to this beautiful country after taking part in this gorgeous ceremony together.
Conclude the ritual with a wonderful ceremonial feast! Dine with the monks and tuck into a variety of traditional Thai dishes, a great way to end the ceremony that brings you all even closer to each other and closer to the wondrous Thailand!
5. Scenebangkok Pâtisserie
This restaurant is something straight off of instagram! A gorgeous location to go enjoy a meal at! The restaurant is stunning from every angle and offers the most gorgeous food in a truly serene environment.
