How to have a luxurious Bangkok vacation
Luxury retail therapy
Bangkok is home to the most luxurious shopping mall in Asia, Central Embassy, an incredibly sophisticated 37 floors of iconic, high-end fashion brands, niche designer names, gastronomic eateries, beauty treatments and more. You can also discover the adventure of retail therapy in cool, air-conditioned comfort, whilst shopping for a supercar in a mall at Siam Paragon, one of the biggest shopping centres in Southeast Asia, with its own luxury retail area. CentralWorld and Gaysorn also attract brand name shoppers looking for luxury holiday buys with upscale appeal.
Luxury experiences
If you want to be a true city slicker and stand out in a crowd then weave you way through Bangkok’s soaring skyscrapers in a Porsche Cayman or Lamborghini Performante, with luxury cars available by the day at Prestige Car Rental. When not zooming around the city you can still sit back in luxurious style with a must-do luxury VIP cinema experience at the Embassy Diplomat Screens; think sofa seating, waiter service with menu, your own fridge and lighting control!
Luxury dining
Add a sense of luxury to any dining occasion with a pre-dinner personalised cocktail concocted by renowned mixologist, Josef Boroski, nestled between side streets 5 and 7 on trendy Thong Lor (Sukhumvit 55); expect no menu and a glamorous clientele. Taste Thai cuisine in a wonderful 1920s house setting at Issaya Siamese Club, run by celebrity chef, Ian Kittichai. Spice it up at innovative Indian eatery, Gaggan with molecular cuisine. French-inspired culinary sophistication attracts the gastronomic glitterati at L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, an ultra-chic eatery set up by one of the most famous chefs in the world, Joël Robuchon, with 28 Michelin stars across 20 restaurants worldwide.
