In Anthony Horowitz’s novel Snakehead, the teenage spy Alex Rider stays at the hotel during his time in Bangkok.
HSH buys out the Phataraprasit family’s stake and becomes sole owner of the property.
The hotel runs its own boats across the river from early morning to midnight, linking guests to the city’s east bank.
