New Luxury Resort Celebrates Thailand’s Railway History

新豪华度假圣地庆祝泰国铁路历史

Railways have long been a source of fascination for travelers, allowing us to experience journeys at a slower pace and revisit a time when packed airplanes and crowded airports weren’t the norm.

长期以来，铁路交通对于旅客来说是一种令人心驰神往的出行方式。它能够让人们放慢脚步感悟旅途，暂别航站楼人满为患的岁月。

Thailand has its own storied railway history dating back to the early 1900s, when Bangkok’s urbanites would climb aboard the wheels of steel to get out of town for beach escapes or cooler climates.

泰国的铁路历史可以追溯到20世纪初，那时，曼谷市民会爬上铁轨逃离城市，前往海滩避暑或其他凉爽的地方。

More than 100 years on, a new resort designed by the incomparable Bill Bensley immerses guests in the essence of this era.

经过100多年的沉淀，由世界顶级设计大师Bill Bensley设计的新度假圣地，让旅客沉浸在慢生活中享受时代真谛。

The Inter Continental Khao Yai, made up of more than 65 suites and villas, includes a series of upcycled Thai train carriages that have been converted into luxury accommodations.

考艾洲际度假酒店拥有65多间套房，还有别墅，以及多种由火车车厢升级改造而成的豪华套房。

About a 2.5-hour drive from Bangkok, outside Khao Yai National Park, the resort’s design was inspired by the early days of Thai rail and the area’s history as a gateway to northeast Thailand during the reign of King Rama V (1868 to 1910).

从曼谷出发，驾车大约2.5小时便可到达考艾洲际度假酒店。酒店以泰国早期铁路为灵感来源。该地区曾在国王拉玛五世(1868-1910)统治期间，作为通往泰国东北部的重要门户。

Guests are enveloped in the past as soon as they walk into reception. Located in a stand-alone building resembling a classic Thai railway station, it’s filled with travel trunks, wooden benches, classic train parts, illustrations and historical photos.

步入接待处，游客便深陷于浓厚的历史氛围。它位于一个独立的建筑里，类似于泰国传统火车站，里面摆满了旅行箱，木制长椅，古典火车零件，各式插图和历史照片。
