March 23, 2014| By:Five Star Alliance

The Peninsula BangkokIn the few years since the hotel opened, the luxurious riverside The Peninsula Bangkok has quickly established itself as one of Bangkok's finest hotels, winning many awards and accolades, including World's Best Hotel in 2003 by the readers of Travel + Leisure magazine. Thanks to its unique waved-shape design and location on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, The Peninsula Bangkok is a stunning, 39-story hotel offering uninterrupted panoramic views of Bangkok from every one of its large, luxurious guest rooms and suites. Here's a few fun facts about the luxury hotel. 

-Over five years ago, The Peninsula Bangkok's expert gardener planted the first seeds in the Naturally Peninsula Garden. The hotel's own herb garden features an array of local herbs used in Thai cuisine as well as in traditional medicines. Located behind Thiptara restaurant, the garden is watered twice a day and its soil is refreshed every six months to ensure the highest quality produce including sweet and red basils, thyme, rosemary, mint, sage, vanilla beans and tarragon.
