Opened in early 1970, Dusit Thani Bangkok is a five-star luxury hotel which embodies the very essence of Thailand and blends it with modern conveniences.

Come 16 April 2018 5 January 2019, Dusit Thani Bangkok will cease operations, to make way for the mixed-use project. “The Story Never Ends” though. The hotel will be rebuilt and is expected to be completed in 2022. The rest of the project consisting of a shopping mall, office and residence will be ready by 2024.

Upon entry, I fell in love with the white rooms, elegantly featuring Thai design and traditional materials of teakwood. This hotel doesn’t feel 48 years old at all!

Facilities

I especially love the garden terrace as it is unique  to the hotel. Not many hotels  have the space to do this.
