Why We Love This Hotel

· Chao Phraya Views: Every guest room, suite, and villa at Capella Bangkok - as well as the dining venues and many of the facilities - boast river views. What's more, the sun sets just across the river from the property, casting gorgeous orange hues over the hotel and providing superlative evening sundowner locations from anywhere on the grounds.

· A New Riviera: The Riviera theme continues in Capella Bangkok's fine dining restaurant, Côte by Mauro Colagreco, where the three-Michelin-star chef has reinterpreted French-Italian Riviera flavors, inspired by traditional recipes and culinary heritage.

· Sophistication & Luxury: From contemporary design featuring custom artwork by local Thai artists, to the expansive wellness center with water therapy and locally-inspired treatments, to a desserts-and-cocktails salon bedecked in black and gold, the Capella Bangkok exudes finesse.

Why We Love This Hotel

· Location: While Bangkok is home to several world-class hotels, only a handful are situated right on the Chao Phraya River. We love the Four Seasons Hotel for its amazing riverside location with easy access to the city center. This property is ideal for seclusion and relaxation and yet is still close to the action.

· Design: The architects have carefully considered the blending of indoor and outdoor space to create a light and complementary blend of modern design and serene green spaces.

· Spaciousness: The property stretches over 1,100 feet along the banks of the Chao Phraya River, also known as, "The Grand Duke,” leaving plenty of room for spacious suites, lush outdoor grounds and two infinity pools.

Day 2

Bangkok

Begin this morning with a personalized shopping trip and optional personal shopper. From designer labels to local brands, clothing and jewelry to bespoke furniture and antiques, Bangkok has it all and we can create a custom trip for you. Unwind from shopping with a massage or spa treatment.

In the late afternoon, be ready for another exclusive close-up with a Michelin-starred chef. Arrive at the restaurant before opening time and go behind the scenes into the kitchen. The chef will walk you through the kitchen and show you how the team gets ready for dinner service. Follow closely with a drink in hand, or put on an apron and lend a hand. Then, enjoy a special meal with the staff.

Return to the riverside and get on the most handsome boat on the Chao Phraya, a handcrafted luxury Hackercraft, for a sunset cruise. Relax and enjoy the riverside scenes and glittering golden temples as you sip champagne.

Most of the old Thai-Chinese shophouses have been transformed into slick drinking dens, restaurants and galleries, with pop-up contemporary art exhibitions and complex cocktails.

Day 4

Bangkok

Choose between a private cooking class with a senior chef or even a celebrity chef at a presitgious cooking school, or out in the countryside with a local host and restauranteur. Learn to craft Thai staples under the chef’s guidance, then enjoy the dishes for lunch.

Day 5
