The Mandarin Oriental Bangkok

the oriental bangkok by famoushotels archives

The Oriental Bangkok in 1900.  A hackney coach is parked in front of the Oriental Hotel. The boy next to it waits for customers to take them around the city. The hotel was popular for its fine garden, clean rooms and exquisite food.


With a staff/guest ratio of 2.3 this Asian hotel is a legend and a destination in itself. This database contains various additional material not published in the hotel’s book.


No book about the Exotic East has been written without mentioning The Oriental as the best hotel of Thailand, of Asia, the world, ...

In our book we look beyond flash and count substance. It is the oldest historic hotel of Thailand and the longest living hotel in the Asian region. It dates back to the mid of the 19th century, and ever since it has this wonderful reputation of being the best of the best.



Our book THE ORIENTAL BANGKOK is an account of over 15 years of uninterrupted research. The photograph above is one of our latest findings. Dive into the history of this hotel, enjoy the reading and one day please go there, because:
“At The Oriental you never feel bored: the buzzing river in front of you, the relaxed pool, the choice of the best restaurants. And why not visit Bangkok while at The Oriental?”
