Besides top shopping centers, leading hotels around the Thai capital transform their gorgeous lobbies and public spaces into a shimmering wonderland, adorned with light decorations and the aromatic scents of gingerbread and Christmas delights. Can't-miss spots include The Peninsula and The Sukhothai, featuring real pine trees shipped from Canada, while both InterContinental locations boast wonderful decorations in their welcoming areas. Five-star establishments like Conrad, Marriott Marquis, and Shangri-La are also not to be missed. Quirky, creative trees can be found at Kimpton, The Standard, and Capella.
