this hotel is easily reachable by train/skytrain from the airport. we stayed in the krungthep wing of the hotel, in a luxurious room with a balcony overlooking the chao phraya river. breakfast, afternoon tea, and cocktails with canapés were available as part of the deal. the views of the river were magnificent. the service was first rate. the swimming pool area in the krungthep wing is very peaceful, as most families choose the other wing.
