Pakistan Karakoram Highway Expedition — 21 days
Pakistan
The Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok is centrally located on the eastern bank of the Chao Phraya River. Built in 1876 and still the classiest hotel in Bangkok, the Oriental is more than just one of the world’s most splendid hotels; it’s almost a piece of history. Writers have kept coming here to feel the magic, sit on the banks of the Chao Praya and watch the play of light on the moody river.
The huge lounge area is bright and airy, as are the perfectly appointed rooms. All room types have their own distinct personality, and there is large range to choose from. Even the standard rooms are spacious but the stately Heritage Author’s Suites are individually designed to reflect their personality. Nevertheless, all guests enjoy butler service and river views.
The hotel has nine restaurants serving from elegant French cuisine to contemporary Cantonese and al fresco Thai favourites. There is a large pool by the river, an award-winning spa, a gym and a cooking school. The secret, leafy corners beside the swimming pool, or shadowy Bamboo Bar where they belt out jazz, nurture the romance of this stately hotel, which has lured royalty, heads of state, artists and travellers for over 150 years.

Location The Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok is centrally located on the Oriental Avenue, eastern bank of the Chao Phraya River.
Getting There There are direct (11-hour) international flights from the UK to the Bangkok International Suvarnabhumi Airport. The Mandarin Oriental hotel is just 45 minutes away from the airport.
When to go The best time to visit most of Thailand is between November and March as this is the coolest time of year. March-Jun brings the hot season when sightseeing is best scheduled for morning or late afternoon. May, September and October are the wettest months and between June and August, you can still visit Bangkok although you will get some rain. During this time, there are fewer tourists and the landscape is lush and green.
Discover sides of Asia you never knew existed, revealed by people who know every facet.
