When Four Seasons Private Residences Bangkok at Chao Phraya River opens its doors in 2018, it will take waterfront living to new heights—literally.

The striking 73-storey tower will house 355 contemporary residences set against views of Bangkok’s “River of Kings.” A private lounge, an amenities deck and an elegant rooftop escape will be peppered with amenities designed for a sophisticated waterfront lifestyle in the centre of Thailand’s capital city. With this 24-hour itinerary, discover the allure of Bangkok that awaits residents of this unrivalled address.

Morning activities

There’s no better spot to enjoy your morning coffee than from your penthouse balcony, where, surrounded by unparalleled riverfront views, you will watch as the city below slowly awakens. Start the day on an active note and head to the residents-only Amenities Deck. Work up a sweat in the fully equipped gym, by swimming laps in the infinity pool or during a session in the yoga and Pilates studio.

On nice days, trade the indoor activity for a visit to Bangkok’s beautiful Lumpini Park. Frequented by tai chi enthusiasts, cyclists and joggers, this lush 142-acre (57-hectare) oasis is the perfect setting for an early-morning workout.  Bangkok has an endless list of must-see attractions, from the ornate Grand Palace—home to Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha)—to the postcard-worthy Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn).

For those who choose to call it home, the city holds even more treasures. Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the largest in the world, brings together the diverse local cultures from all over Thailand. Bargain for antique carvings, Buddhist souvenirs, furniture and silk fashions.

Shopping more than 15,000 stalls can be exhausting, so make sure to refuel with a plate of authentic Thai food (try mango sticky rice for a sweet treat) sold from the market’s street carts. During the week, experience full Thai immersion at the Museum of Contemporary Art. Explore the museum’s five storeys, where more than 800 paintings and sculptures tell the country’s fascinating history.

Return to the sophisticated and aptly named River Lounge at Four Seasons Private Residences Bangkok for a late-afternoon cocktail by the riverside. A private entrance off Chao Phraya River’s lively promenade will lead to an intimate setting decorated with warm wooden tones and elegant furnishings.

For a more elevated escape, head to the 64th-floor rooftop Four Seasons Club and unwind in the Residents’ Bar and Glass Walled Wine Room. Residents can open a bottle from their own collection or try one of the Club’s prized vintages.

A special evening

A perfect day deserves a perfect end. Tuck in for a dinner at Gaggan. Earning the top spot on San Pellegrino Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list, Gaggan offers Indian dishes reimagined with a contemporary spin and fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Spend the rest of the evening in the sumptuous Four Seasons Club. Spanning three floors, the Club will feature world-class amenities in a glamorous residential escape. Play a friendly game with friends over golf simulators and billiards or see a film in the private screening room.

Cocktails will flow at the Residents’ Bar while residents will be able to enjoy cigars in the lounge. When the weather is mild and the night clear, a moonlight swim in the city’s tallest residential infinity pool will present a unique view of Bangkok’s captivating skyline.
