The capital of Thailand, that city whose full names spans 62 syllables and better known as Bangkok, is a metropolis that inspires wonder.

United by food, energy and verve, and divided by the Chao Phraya River, there is much to see and do here. In pursuit of that knowledge, make these three hotels your base when wading into the rewarding waters of Bangkok.
