Staying true to that promise, Mercure hotels in Thailand
make each neighbourhood’s history and hidden stories
accessible, creating memorable stays for every guest in
this magical country.
With excellent access to transportation and within
walking distance to the city’s best shopping, Mercure
Bangkok Siam’s central location is perfect for on-the-
move guests. And it has another advantage for the active
set: the nearby Lumpini Park. As the sun rises, the place
is buzzing as old friends practice tai chi, play board games,
and chat over breakfast. Office workers start their day
with a jog around the lake or an aerobics class set to
booming dance hits. From yoga to basketball to weight
lifting, the park really has something for everyone.
Newly renovated, Mercure Bangkok Sukhumvit 11
features spacious and contemporary rooms, creative
dining options, and a breathtaking rooftop swimming
pool. It’s a taste of modern Bangkok living, but also
offers guests a glimpse of the past a few minutes away
at the Jim Thompson House. An intelligence operative,
architect and art collector, Jim Thompson revitalised the
Thai silk industry before disappearing mysteriously while
on a hike in Malaysia. Today, his charming wooden Thai-
style home is a slice of Bangkok life in the 1960s that also
showcases the craftsmanship of local silk weavers.
Panoramic views of the skyline, gourmet food, and
signature wine list make Mercure Bangkok Makkasan’s
sophisticated M Wine Lounge and pool bar ideal for a
romantic evening on the hotel’s 10th floor. But mornings
bring a very different experience as farmers from across
the country turn Makkasan train station into a bustling
market. With a variety of exotic fruits and vegetables,
as well as authentic Thai dishes, this is the best place to
experience the absolute best farm-fresh mango, durian,
longan, mangosteen and other offerings.

An exceptional value in the heart of the city, Mercure
Chiang Mai provides for guests’ every need and offers easy
access to northern Thailand’s shopping, dining, and historic
cultural sites. One such site is just a minute’s walk from the
hotel. Part of the ancient Wat Chedi Dang Nok temple, a
hundred-year-old pagoda stands among modern buildings
and attracts locals with its Well of Good Luck. Believed to
draw from a fortune-changing pool beneath the pagoda, it
has never failed to supply luck-seekers with its special water.Jim Thompson House
