Pampered at Pathumwan Princess

Our July Breakaway quiz offers a chance to win five prizes courtesy of Pathumwan Princess. Winners will be announced 5 August.

HERE is a custom-built hotel for shopaholics and business travellers looking for Thai branded hospitality.

We all know why the Thai government wants us to shop until we drop so in the name of helping the nation why not go for broke in Bangkok’s finest shopping district.

If you are out-of-towners, then the bargains start with a stay at the four-star Pathumwan Princess Hotel, one of Bangkok’s leading hotels and bang in the heart of one of the city’s famed shopping malls – MBK Centre. Also on the doorstep are upscale shopping complexes, such as Siam Discovery Centre and Siam Paragon. In between shopping raids, try the hotel’s well appointed health club where you can build fitness so you can shop and not drop during a shopping mall marathon.

But the hotel also has a pretty good location for business travellers who are keen to beat the city’s grid-lock traffic by using the BTS skytrain.

The hotel has just renovated rooms, all of which have commanding views of the city skyline. The new 32-sqm premium superior rooms feature high-speed internet access and flat screen televisions. The management calls its newly renovated rooms an oasis in the heart of the Thai capital. We judge the location tops for leisure travellers, shoppers and business travel, who require walk-on access to the skytrain.

There are plenty of restaurants, health clubs and entertainment facilities in and around the hotel to make it a serious contender for business travel. Visit TTR Weekly to enter a simple quiz with lots of prizes for five lucky readers.

Here is an opportunity to win gift vouchers for a two-night stay for two persons, with breakfasts; food and beverage gift vouchers for lunch or dinner valued at Bt 2000 and a three-month membership for one person at the hotel’s health club.

Complete the form  below with the correct answer to the quiz question, and your email address and other information to be eligible to win prizes courtesy of Pathumwan Princess.
