In early August 2026, Bangkok announced the opening of two high‑end hotels. The Ritz‑Carlton began operations in the One Bangkok precinct, offering floor‑to‑ceiling rooms, a Club Lounge, a fine‑dining restaurant and a full‑service spa aimed at upscale stop‑over guests. At the same time, the historic Custom House on the Chao Phraya River was slated to reopen as The Langham, Custom House in December 2026, preserving the 1888 building while adding a modern wing with 60 rooms and 15 suites.

A few days later, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration highlighted its Green Bangkok 2030 plan, which seeks to increase urban greenery and walkability. The announcement reiterated the Langham’s December opening and emphasized the hotel’s blend of heritage architecture with contemporary design, positioning it as part of the city’s broader tourism and urban‑development strategy.
