Elephant ride
Riding an elephant through the ancient ruins of Ayutthaya was like stepping into a different world. The combination of history, nature, and the quiet majesty of these gentle giants made for an exhilarating experience. The elephant’s slow, steady pace allowed me to take in every detail of the surroundings – from the worn-down temple structures to the greenery around the landscape. It felt surreal to explore this site from such a unique vantage point.
Private Boat Tour - Capella Hotel
The private boat tour organized by Capella was an absolute highlight, offering a fresh perspective on Bangkok’s vibrant energy. As we drifted along the river, passing by iconic landmarks and hidden spots, I felt fully immersed in the city’s dynamic blend of tradition and modernity.
Stay at Capella
Staying at Capella Hotel, rated the world’s best, was pure luxury from start to finish. The attention to detail was evident in everything – from the personalized welcome to the spacious room with breathtaking views. I opted for a room with a riverfront view and a private pool, which let me relax in the water while watching the city come alive around me. The view was spectacular, and having that private space to unwind in was the perfect contrast to Bangkok’s vibrant energy. Though on the pricier side, Capella is undoubtedly worth a visit for anyone seeking a refined retreat in the heart of the city.
