Bangkok Post: Royal Orchid Sheraton

In need of some true Christmas spirit, Zipporah Gene heads to the Royal Orchid Sheraton, for a taste of their Christmas cheer. 

A festive feast awaits: perfectly roasted turkey with all the trimmings, ready to make your holiday meal unforgettable.

I’ve only recently discovered this gem, but now that I have, I’m quite evangelical about it all.

On the banks of the majestic Chao Phraya river, with 4 dining options, 2 outdoor pools and a spa; can you believe that this hotel also boasts some of the best views in town. I really wish I had known about this place sooner, and saved myself the many trips to some of its more conspicuous, yet eye-waveringly costly neighbours.

I arrived one of your bog standard, run-of-the-mill afternoons. It hadn’t even reached dinner time, yet this place was already teeming with people. When you think about, it is understandable that many would want to avoid the unapologetic anarchy of the nearby areas of China town and Silom, and instead simply opt for an elegant night of relaxation; by the water’s edge.

With my half-downed cocktail in hand, I decided to head to the outside deck area.

There are very few, who would dare disagree with me when I say that, no matter how many times I see the setting sun, it always looks better by the waterside. Pinks, purples, red and deep blues, meet glistening waves of water. It is romantic, calming, beautiful and austere all in one.
