Perfect respite from the city
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/12/05
This is the perfect retreat from the noise and pollution of the city, yet close enough to easily go enjoy the city's sights each day. The grounds are stunning and the rooms are quite sufficient, with a lot of nice dining options on the grounds (and a great breakfast buffet). The boat ferry to the skytrain and boat taxi dock is quick, frequent and refreshing. They even give you water and scented towels on your return trip. If you want a taste of "real" Bangkok, take a walk out the front gate and walk up the street a ways. The shops and food stands aren't there for tourists, but are fascinating to see. Prices are high by Thai standards, but good by American...though they charge way too much for Internet access.
