Ratchadamri BTS Station, a convenient stopover

Travellers planning to visit Thailand’s bustling capital looking for comfortable Bangkok serviced apartments will find an excellent choice in the attractive Anantara Baan Rajprasong, Bangkok. These quality accommodations offer appealing interiors and a selection of modern amenities meeting the expectations of its discerning customers.
Visitors desiring to explore Bangkok will find that taking the Skytrain, or BTS, is an excellent option. This convenient transportation network connects many destinations in the Thai capital making it an appealing way to explore the city.

Foreign visitors should make it a point to visit the well known Ratchadamri BTS station which is located in one of the city’s most opulent sectors. Many interesting modern attractions may be accessed through this BTS station.

The Erawan Bangkok mall is one of the alluring shopping centres located in the environs of the station. This decidedly upscale mall features high-end designer and lifestyle brands, catering to the affluent shopper. Its food court is similarly upmarket, offering delectable treats for those who can afford them. On the uppermost floor you will find a host of therapy centres offering aroma therapy massages, hair spas, hydrotherapy and beauty treatments.

Another local highlight is the Gaysorn Mall which is also inclined towards upscale shoppers. In this chrome and marble inlaid complex you will find designer goods and upscale luxury labels. Typical brand names featured here include such well-known names as Ermenegildo Zegna, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Hugo Boss and Gucci.

An attraction of an entirely different kind is the splendid Erawan Shrine which may be visited in the locality. Although the shrine is not strictly speaking a Buddhist shrine, innumerable locals as well as visitors from abroad frequent this temple. The central deity honoured here is the god Brahma, who is depicted with his four faces. These four countenances represent the four supreme virtues of the deity, namely mercy, kindness, impartiality and sympathy.

To replenish your energies you can sample the delicacies offered by eateries and cafes in proximity to the station. These include Brown Sugar, a popular jazz club with its own resident bands. Another option is 100 Ratchadamri, an attractive music lounge and eatery which offers Thai as well as Western foods.
