A QUIET SANCTUARY
At the heart of busy, bustling Bangkok there’s a place of quiet sanctuary – featuring luxuries like a three-tiered swimming pool, Rolls Royces, a helipad and a liveried tuk tuk.
The Peninsula Bangkok could be called a destination in its own right. It stands beside the impressive Chao Phraya River and is generally recognised as one of Bangkok’s most sumptuous hotels. It has, for example, an art gallery, not to mention its own organic garden supplying its kitchens.
But make The Peninsula Bangkok a focal point of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Thailand and you’ll realise that this is a destination that also takes you places. You can cruise on one of the hotel’s beautifully converted rice barges to the fabled Temple of the Dawn. For completely contrasting experiences, try a helicopter flight – or a trip round the frantic streets of bustling Bangkok in the Peninsula Tuk Tuk. Or you could glide round the sights in a liveried Peninsula Rolls Royce.

The destinations were fabulous, but what really stood out was the care and patience Tania showed as she guided me and my sister through every question and hesitation. Nothing felt rushed or too much trouble. The result? A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you.
