Descriptive Text Quiz 1

 

On the banks of the Chao Phraya, Bangkok’s “River of Kings”, lies a hotel that has already set new standards of hospitality for this celebrated city.

Set in magnificently landscaped tropical gardens, the Shangri-La Bangkok provides guests with all the charm and warmth of the Orient, and at the same time, and unsurpassed range of facilities and leisure activities.

There is a choice of 12 superb settings to wine and dine, a large swimming pool that overlooks the rivers, convention center and meeting facilities for up to 2,000 people and a 24-hour business center. From every single guestroom and suite, there is a breathtaking view of all the exotic hustle and bustle of the fabled “Rivers of Kings”.

One might expect such a well-equipped and positioned hotel to be miles away from the city center. But at the Shangri-La Bangkok, the business district and main shopping areas are minutes away.

For more than 200 years, Bangkok’s grandeur has been reflected in the waters of the Chao Phraya. Today the Shangri-La Bangkok towers beside this majestic river offer its guests the golden promise of the East.
