In the City of Angels – @Shanghai Mansion / Bangkok / Thailand

The Shanghai Mansion is an exclusive deluxe boutique hotel located in the heart of old Bangkok, on Yaowarat Road, and just minutes away from the ancient city of Rattanakosin.

Built in 1892, this stunning historic property has operated as a boutique hotel. Since its inception, the Shanghai Mansion has assured guests of a truly unique and wonderful experience through its design and central location.

Nestled amongst the busiest streets of Bangkok, Shanghai Mansion offers a perfect hideaway.
Incorporating the style and elegance of 1930’s Shanghai, the hotel have created a magical scene from a home of nobility. Not a single detail is missing, from relaxing plush red leather sofas in the lobby, to an old fashioned gramophone in the restaurant, Chinese checkers or Chinese phrase books in the hotels library, there is always a touch of comfort and surprising sense of uniqueness in every corner.
All guests are invited to relax by the water garden. Visible from every floor, it brings the outdoors indoors. Here you can listen to softly flowing water and watch thousands of fish play among the natural habitat created with beauty in mind. Some afternoons you may be whisked away by the enchanting music of a guzheng (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) being delicately played by the waterside.

Following the Elegance in design and decor the hotel have raised the bar to a new high and make it available to guetss in every corner. For example, Afternoon Tea served daily from 2pm to 5pm, Room service menu, offering the standards but adding the delights of Chinatown, such as Wanton soup or Dim Sum.

Nice experience in Bangkok (at Shangri-La hotel):

The Chinese calligraphy “Living in the Lost Horizon” by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously adorns the wall of Shang Palace’s main entrance.

To do: As high as possible in Bangkok: Bar Lebua

Relaxes afternoon.

You should go the islands, here is one of my favourites: Koh Phiphi:
The movie was filmed on this great location in Thailand.

Roger Moore was the MI6 agent James Bond, the film has sent him after the Solex Agitator, a device which can harness the power of the sun, while facing Scaramanga, the “Man with the Golden Gun”. The action culminates in a duel between them that settles the fate of the Solex.
The film was being shot in Thailand, Hong Kong and Macao.

Sanuk.
We will come back.
