It’s like that pearl earrings you instinctively pick up when rushing to an occasion, the piece has never let you down since the day you acquired it, wore it for the first time and years after. Your “investment” piece transcends generations and rises above fashion. Elegant as ever. And it’s pretty much the same feeling…
If you love sipping your cocktail with a bird’s eye view of The Big Mango at twilight or on a starry night, then this new exciting bars at the top floors of Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park are the spots for you. High above the streets of Sukhumvit, on the hotel’s topmost floors are two…
I woke up with the sun streaming through the large picture window that framed the blue sky over the hotel’s north tower, the cool shade of azure of the pool below and the verdant foliage of the Benjasiri Park on the neighboring lot. Good morning, Bangkok! The day before was spent entirely on…
