Great location

Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park has 1,388 rooms and suites & convention and meeting facilities that can cater for over 1,000 people. Situated in Soi 22 & walking distance to BTS Skytrain Station Phrom Phong, Emquartier & the Emporium.

Credit for all the photos must go to the Marriott, the high quality of these shots inspired me to write this photo blog.

The Lobby

As you would expect there is Complimentary Wi Fi in the lobby & all rooms.

ABar Rooftop

I don’t know of any city in the world with more rooftop bars than Bangkok.

Surrounded by a concrete jungle. 🙂

Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park has everything you could wish for in a luxury Bangkok hotel.

Goji Kitchen + Bar

Specializing in Parrilla-grilled meats and ocean-fresh seafood, Goji Kitchen’s expert chefs use only the best ingredients to create memorable dining experiences.

Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park ABar

Being an Australian pensioner sadly the bars & restaurants are a little above my budget.

ABar Seating Area

There are so many choices to sit & enjoy the great views of Bangkok.

ABar Balcony

The balcony looks very nice as well.

Perhaps a game of 8 ball while sipping a cocktail?

The facilities at this magnificent hotel are endless.

The Sky Suite

The penthouse duplex unit is nestled on the 37th and 38th floor of the hotel building, featuring a spacious space of more than 1,002 square meters in total, transforming the top levels of Bangkok’s largest hotel into the guest’s own private residence. Marriott Marquis’ new crown jewel features two luxurious levels of living space, three bedrooms (one master with a super-king bed and two spacious doubles), a huge marble master bathroom, two further en-suite bathrooms, a spacious living room, pantry, and a huge entertainment area complete with a grand piano and a circular dining space with seating for up to 16 guests. The entire suite is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, encompassing spectacular views of Bangkok’s ever-changing skyline. Crowning atop the suite is the outdoor Sky Garden guests could privately unwind with family and friends. Privacy of exclusive guests is also guaranteed with private lift access.

Looks like a good spot to watch the sunset.

Vientiane excellent coffee shops

Vientiane excellent coffee shops

Vientiane excellent coffee shops were right around the corner from our hotel. They were every bit as good or better than I expected. The shot above is the cafe next door to Le Trio, I believe it is either part of the same business, or simply a shop who they sell their coffee to.

LE TRIO COFFEE

The first ’boutique roaster’ in Vientiane, they source ethical beans from local Lao producers and use only Robusta and Arabica beans, using a magnificent German roasting machine to make their coffee.

There are only 2 stools to sit at here.

I guess that’s why they send you next door. 🙂

Vientiane excellent coffee shops

Coffee does not get any better than this.

Many other coffee shops in Laos buy coffee beans from Le Trio to make their own coffee, showing just how powerful their blend is.

JOMA BAKERY CAFÉ

Joma is very popular among expats and travellers & has two locations in Vientiane. As well as their drinks, they serve great sandwiches, pastries, quiche, muesli, bagels and fruit shakes. It’s an excellent place to go to if you seek the taste of Western food. The mango pudding in the photo was absolutely magnificent.

Joma

Joma was founded by Canadians in Laos and now has 12 stores in three countries, including Cambodia and Vietnam. I must say it was very similar to a Starbucks.

We stayed at the Bloom Boutique Hotel.

These great coffee shops were only about 50 metres from our hotel. I would certainly recommend the Bloom Boutique Hotel, excellent rooms, friendly staff & a great breakfast. Use THIS LINK to book for a very good discount.

Sinouk Coffee Night Market

Small restaurant/bar at the corner of the street, you can watch the crowds pass by at night on the way to the night market.

Thanks for visiting my Vientiane excellent coffee shops photo blog. We took a taxi for an hour ($10 USD) to check out the city, follow THIS LINK to see some of the sights.
