A long time favorite of world travelers for its charm and warmth, Holiday Inn Bangkok (Former Le Meridien Presiden) is nestled amidst Bangkok' finest diplomatic, business and upscale department store addresses, in the center of this vibrant city. For the explorer, a sky train station beckons nearby. In true Bangkok style, the cultural necessity of bartering with smiles should be experienced at the famous Pratunam market, Bangkok's wholesale clothing emporium half a block away. Or if a touch of nature is imperative, imagine early morning or dusk strolls in the lush emeral green of Lumpini Park with giant sprawling trees and lakeside paddle boats.
