Without a Rolls-Royce chauffeur at the Peninsula Bangkok, what else is worth looking forward to?

When I first moved into the Peninsula, I couldn't help but frown. 25 years is really too old for a hotel. There were VCD players in the rooms, tablecloths that had been starched and ironed, and furniture with a distressed finish. But slowly moved by the silent and meticulous service. For example, upon seeing a Chinese passport, the Hong Kong front desk immediately switched to Mandarin and escorted the guest to the room for check-in. For example, the perfectly timed five daily room cleanings and placement of small snacks are all done when I happen to be out (the timing is just too perfect, as if they are constantly observing my movements without the pressure of surveillance). For example, when helping to call a car, a small card with the round-trip address written on it will be handed to the driver (feeling like a special transported idiot). For example, quietly extending the check-out time to 6pm... Many such details make living here a very comfortable experience. You can trust the hotel to take care of everything, and all instructions are arranged properly without any surprises. In short, it all adds up to a "good" experience. [Easter egg] After finishing my shopping spree at Icon Siam mall, I got lost in the sea of people outside and was recognized by a driver from the Peninsula Hotel. He gave me a ride back to the hotel on his tuk-tuk, and I don't know how to describe the emotions I felt. (I walked to the mall myself, not knowing how the hotel knew I came to the mall, waited at the door for a long time, and even had to recognize me.) The most impressive thing about the Peninsula is the service that goes beyond imagination, and Rolls-Royce is just a carrier. [Easter egg] In Bangkok, I've always wanted to book a table at a riverside restaurant, but surprisingly it's been fully booked for a month. However, I unexpectedly got a Mekong River view table at Thiptara, a Thai restaurant at the Peninsula, from the waiting list. Indulge in exquisite and delicious traditional Thai cuisine all in one place: pomelo tiger prawn salad, hot and sour spare rib soup, green curry with jasmine rice, mango sticky rice... Accompanied by the evening breeze brushing against the face by the river, the ferry with white and green stripes shuttles back and forth between the two banks of the Mekong River in the peninsula. The scent of coconut groves and torches, the taste of spices, and the noisy sound of clinking glasses and cheers are probably what a perfect Thai vacation looks like. When night falls, look back at this old building and feel a unique charm. Old things have their own beauty, and some things need to be passed down. 📍The Peninsula Bangkok Tips: The Bangkok Peninsula costs just over 1000 per night and is the most cost-effective peninsula in the world.
