Author: A trip to Bangkok is a much-sought-after activity for world travelers. The city has become a prime tourist destination as indicated by the more than 12 million tourists that arrive in Bangkok. The boom in tourism necessitated the need for new, bigger hotels and the many enterprising local and international businessmen have “set shop” in the city and built high-rise hotels and serviced apartments in answer to the increasing demand in accommodations.
The President Palace Hotel Bangkok is a brand new hotel located in Sukhumvit Soi 11. The hotel is a just few minutes’ walk from Nana BTS Skytrain which makes commuting to and from Bangkok’s best shopping spots a breeze.
The hotel has 236 guest rooms spanning its 16 floors. Each room is specifically designed with the guests’ comfort and convenience as primary concerns. Each room is lavishly designed without bordering on tackiness. Each room exudes an ambiance of classy comfort. Furnishings have modern lines but nevertheless are the epitome of coziness.

Trends, fashions and styles come and go, and the travel industry is not immune to such fluctuations. What’s the newest travel trend on the scene? It’s voluntourism, the bringing together of volunteering with tourism to create an aid-giving, hands-on and feel-good holiday combo.
Voluntourism is a tourist or travelling experience that involves an element of volunteering for a charitable cause. Volunteering trips are nothing new, but whereas they once involved extended periods of community involvement or aid work, voluntourism offers shorter bouts of volunteering opportunities intermixed with sightseeing or other travel or tourism experiences.
Travel companies and charity organisations both jumped on the volunteer bandwagon when in the 1990s when they detected a rising desire from tourists to get more out of – and give more – during their holidays, as well as the increasing popularity of the student ‘gap year’.
