Posh Pattaya
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 02/08/2019
» You'll feel like a VIP upon your arrival at Cape Dara Resort, Pattaya. Not only guests are referred to by the hospitable staff as khun than (a politer form of khun) but also be treated to other perks during their stay. If you stay in a suite and higher type, you'll be greeted by a GRO, that is guest relations officer, who will accompany you to the 37th floor where Dara Club Lounge is located. You should definitely be spending a lot of time there during your stay as you can reap many benefits from it. But before I go into detail on VIP treatments, let's talk overall impression of Cape Dara first.

» While some hotels have kid-friendly facilities as an afterthought, Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort and Spa takes providing fun for little guests seriously. They aren't kidding around with the introduction of Siam Adventure Club, which affords kids (and kids at heart) plenty of activities to enjoy throughout the day.

» With several upcoming time-honoured spiritual festivals, Hong Kong is getting holier this May. And we've summarised all the details (and deities) for those who enjoy both culture and auspiciousness.

» If you want to ring in 2019 outside Thailand, Hong Kong has plenty of choices to celebrate with a bang. The good news is that some of the festivities run until Feb. Here are a few highlights.
Luxe and lush
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 19/10/2018
» Some resorts can be a destination in themselves. Especially one with plenty of activities and things to do on site. After 20 minutes in a posh Volvo SUV from Phuket International Airport and a few winding roads, you'll arrive at the lush surroundings of Trisara Phuket -- "the garden in the third heaven", in Sanskrit -- where villas and suites are nestled on a gentle hill slope.
Home away from home

» A villa stay brings to mind a spacious and luxurious accommodation with great service and a price to match. The Ville Jomtien Pool Villa fits that -- but not to the ideal extent.
Kathmandu getaway
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 22/12/2017
» Nepal may not be a go-to choice when Thais think about travel destinations like they do Japan, Hong Kong or South Korea. We'll go as far as saying that the landlocked country is a bit of mystery. But if you're up for diverse cultures, natural beauties and a little adventure, Nepal is it!
Serenity and style
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 01/12/2017
» Officially opened on November 1, X2 (cross-to) Chiang Mai Riverside Resort is located on the bank of the Ping River on a quiet stretch of Charoen Rat Road. Like the other photogenic properties under X2 brand, this new resort too exudes minimal chicness while deriving inspiration from its locality.
QT at SIS
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 15/09/2017
» What's in a name? The SIS Kata -- a new resort by the Aksara Collection which also operates Kata Sea Breeze Resort and Patra Mansion -- had its official launch in June. SIS stands for stay in style and it just so happens that the three Pattaravoranee sisters, all of whom are execs and heirs of the Aksara empire, opened this property with the aim of attracting younger (and apparently selfie-centred) crowds.
Winding down at White Wood Beach
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 11/08/2017
» Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa manages to blend in with its green surrounding and yet also sprouts an air of chicness. The vast and airy lobby building which has turtle-shell roofs and understated art pieces looks out onto a beautiful pond and, from a distance, villas amid lush greenery to block prying eyes. On our way to a low-rise building where our Deluxe Rooms were waiting, we walked past white sands, lush bushes and palm trees.
