sala Bang Pa-in (บางปะอิน) Riverside Resort to Open 1 May 2021

SALA Hospitality Group will open its ninth property in Thailand on 1 May, when the eagerly anticipated sala bang pa-in (บางปะอิน) starts welcoming its first guests.

Located less than an hour by car from Bangkok city centre, the stylish new riverside retreat, nestled on an island in the Chao Phraya River between Ayutthaya and the capital, will enable guests to escape the hustle and bustle of the city without travelling far from home.

And, with a fleet of boats awaiting to transport guests on immersive excursions, including complimentary transfers to and from the Summer Palace, every traveller can uncover the rich heritage of a charming yet relatively undiscovered part of the Kingdom.

The sala bang pa-in houses just 24 deluxe rooms and pool villas, all of which reflect a modern minimalist design concept and cutting-edge technology, such as high-end sound systems with smartphone connectivity, LED TVs and Espresso machines in every villa.

Each spa-inspired bathroom comprises a separate bathtub and rain shower, and all 10 villas open out onto expansive riverside terraces with daybeds and private pools.

The top room category, the three-bedroom river view presidential pool villa, offers 484 square metres of indoor and alfresco living space, making it ideal for families and groups of friends.

Bang Pa-in is an enticing option for visitors who want to embrace the great outdoors, with plenty of scenic cycling routes to and from the hotel, including a 50km loop that encompasses Ayutthaya and the Summer Palace, and secure bike parking at the hotel.

Guests can also jog along a path that winds around the property and along the riverbank, relax with in-room spa and massage services, or plunge into the inviting outdoor swimming pool, which stretches 30 metres along the waterfront.

Delectable dining experiences can be enjoyed at sala bang pa-in eatery and bar, its riverside restaurant. The menu of Thai and international cuisine highlights ingredients grown in the hotel’s onsite garden, accompanied by global wines, craft beers and creative cocktails.

“The Chao Phraya is a legendary river that weaves timeless tales of Thailand’s past as it winds through the landscape. Now for the first time, curious explorers can discover the fables and folklore of Bang Pa-in, the home of the Summer Palace, while staying in a boutique hotel that delivers world-class experiences for couples, families and groups alike,” said Mr. Volkert Geertsen, Cluster General Manager for sala boutique. “Just a short distance from Bangkok, yet surrounded by unspoiled scenery, this is a captivating destination for urbanites who want to escape the city and unwind in peace and tranquility. We look forward to welcoming guests to sala bang pa-in, demonstrating our trademark sense of style and showcasing the grace and grandeur of Old Siam.”

sala bang pa-in is located just 60km north of downtown Bangkok, 28km from the UNESCO World Heritage- listed Ayutthaya Historical Park, 41km from Don Mueang International Airport and 74km from Suvarnabhumi International Airport.

Reservations for sala bang pa-in can be made now for stays from 1 May 2021. Rates start from THB 5,180 net per room per night, including breakfast and river transfer to the Summer Palace.
