A sense of the place
Why it's in the collection
Because the first hotel of the country has stood on the Chao Phraya since 1876, with the Authors' Wing where the writers stayed, the terrace on the river and The Oriental Spa reached by the hotel's own boat on the Thonburi bank – and the house holds five-star standing.
- On the Chao Phraya at the foot of Charoen Krung, beside the old trading houses; the founding house of Mandarin Oriental.
- Since 1876; the Authors' Wing, the river terrace and The Oriental Spa across the river.
