Exploring Dusit Thani Hotel

During my recent travel to Bangkok, I stayed at the luxurious 5-star Dusit Thani Hotel. Located opposite the famous Lumpini Park, the hotel is adjacent to both Skytrain and Subway stations and within close proximity to major shopping and entertainment centres.

You may have seen my Dusit Grand Room which I blogged about in a previous post, so now let me show you the rest of the hotel.

This is the view from my room's balcony after I woke up early one morning.



The sky sure looked misty. Wonder if it's the morning mist or the pollution in Bangkok city?

Can you see the Lumpini Park with the statue (bottom left) and the lake? No? You can click on the picture above for wallpaper size. Or let me just magnify for you below.



That's Lumpini Park with the statue of King Rama VI. More about this in future posts.

Opposite my hotel building is the Dusit Thani main headquarters which manage their hotel operations worldwide.



More views of tall buildings from the balcony.



And the vast lake of Lumpini Park.



This is the view of the hexagonal swimming pool from my room.



More photos of the swimming pool later. Meantime, here's the hotel's lobby lounge.



I like the relaxed feel of the lounge especially with the nice scenery outside!



I could sit out here all day enjoying the relaxing ambience of the koi pond and artificial mini waterfall surrounded by greeneries.



I think I'll just let the photos speak for themselves.







This staircase leads up to the swimming pool.



Mini water fountains can be seen on the way up.



This is the swimming pool area.



The hexagon-shaped pool as seen from the top.



Can you see that cute elephant shooting out water? There are six of them, one at every corner of the pool.



Views of the hotel buildings and other tall buildings in the background from the pool.



I did not take many photos of the hotel interior but these bottles caught my attention.



And of course there is the hotel's luxurious and beautiful spa but I shall leave that for another post.

Did you know a lot of famous celebrities stayed in Dusit Thani before? I came across this board displaying photos of celebrities who had stayed in this hotel before. Click on the picture below to enlarge it.



Who do you see? The first one I saw was Gwyneth Paltrow and below her, Enrique Iglesias! Talking about meeting up with Enrique, haha! Oh, even Enrique's dad, Julio is there too!

During my second night stay, I heard that superstar Gong Li had just checked into the hotel! Damn! I missed getting an autograph from her! Oh well, that's OK. If it had been Mariah Carey, I would have camped at the lobby near the lifts all day! Haha!

Next up, I am going to bring you to Bangkok's and probably the world's best durian with sticky rice dessert ever. Stay tuned! : )
