From the entryway, you can see the panoramic view of the river and the city with full wall of windows in the room.

There are three phones in the room, one on each nightstand and one on the desk with two telephone lines if needed.
The curtains and the lights to the room are controlled by remote, which placed on both sides of the bed. There is every single channel of cable television anyone could ever want -- including a local New York station!

Other Service: The location of the Peninsula is on the other side of the river from the main part of Bangkok. To accommodate guests, the Peninsula runs very frequent river shuttles on its own lovely little boats to an annex on the main side of the river. It is air conditioned, with a waiting area stocked with newspapers and magazines and one of the staff members will let you know when the shuttle arrives.
