When Monopoly launched its official Bangkok edition, locals and visitors from around the world were eager to see which streets, landmarks, and iconic names made the cut. Among the luxury destinations chosen, one stood out not just for its five-star status but for its sky-high presence in the city’s skyline—lebua, a timeless classic of Thai hospitality.
But how did we go from welcoming real-life guests to becoming a coveted square on the world’s most famous board game?
A Timeless Bangkok Institution
Located at the prestigious State Tower on Silom Road, lebua has long been a symbol of refined travel in Bangkok. From its award-winning rooftop bars—like the world-renowned Sky Bar featured in The Hangover Part II—to its Michelin-starred dining experiences at Chef’s Table and Mezzaluna, every detail at lebua speaks to a tradition of excellence that has stood the test of time.
Its sweeping views of the Chao Phraya River and commitment to exceptional service have earned it a reputation as one of the best hotels in Bangkok.
Why Monopoly Chose lebua
Creating a city-specific edition of Monopoly is no small task. The board must capture the spirit, landmarks, and lifestyle of the location it represents. In Bangkok’s case, the team behind the game worked closely with local advisors and tourism experts to select names that resonate with both locals and international fans of the city.
lebua’s inclusion on the board speaks volumes about its cultural and social standing. Monopoly isn’t just about property—it’s about prestige, and having your name on the board is a nod to enduring impact and legacy.
From historic temples to bustling markets and luxury destinations like lebua, the Bangkok edition of Monopoly is a snapshot of the city’s energy and evolution. The game’s designers wanted to blend old-world charm with modern luxury. lebua, with its unique blend of Thai hospitality, culinary excellence, and world-class experiences, fit the bill perfectly.
More Than Just a Hotel
Appearing on the Monopoly board is yet another milestone in lebua’s storied journey. It reflects the hotel’s place in the hearts of Bangkokians and visitors alike, and cements its role as a destination not just to visit, but to remember.
Whether you’re sipping a cocktail 64 floors above the city or rolling the dice at home with friends, lebua is a reminder that Bangkok is a city of unforgettable history, exciting modernity and enduring culture.
