Hidden away in the chaos of Bangkok lays the Arun Residence, a recently renovated historic Sino-Portuguese river house nestled alongside the vibrant life of the Chao Praya River and set against an exotic vista of seventeenth century classic Thai architecture. Perched on the rooftop bar with a glass of Australian chardonnay in hand, one can thoroughly enjoy the transition of day into night. Across the river, above Wat Arun temple, we watch the sky turn salmon pink, then crimson red, finally dissolving into a purple haze. The rich history and mystical magic of Bangkok unfolds before our eyes.
