LUXURY serviced residence provider klapsons has officially opened in Bangkok with a stronger pitch for the long-term travel market.
Klapsons The River Residences Bangkok contains 77 spacious rooms and suites, spread between one and three-bedroom units, located on the 23rd to 31st floors of The River Condominium along the Chao Phraya River.
Amenities include a riverfront infinity pool, two outdoor lap pools on the fifth and 23rd floors, two multi-purpose outdoor courts and a sky garden.
“We are appealing to a different sort of traveller, people who want their accommodation to look and feel like a luxury hotel but at the same time want to live like a local,” explained Alex Loh, managing director of klapsons The River Residences Bangkok.
The property is targeting expats relocating to Bangkok as well as expatriated Thais returning home. Key markets are MNCs and financial institutions, Loh said, although he revealed that the sales team is also approaching various embassies and governments.
While largely targeted at business travellers as well as corporate employees on longer-term overseas assignments, he added that klapsons would also appeal to “a smaller percentage of tourists coming for leisure”.
