Sala Ayutthaya - A Minimalist Instagram Dream

SalaAyutthayaIntro.jpg

Sala Ayutthaya is a contemporary boutique hotel perfectly situated on the Chao Phraya River with a fabulous view of Wat Phutthaisawan. What drew us here was the red brick wavelike entrance combined with the all white minimalist walls of the pool area. The contrast of old and new perfectly represented Thailand.

The red brick walls mimic the bricks of the old temples in Ayutthaya..
