» Hilton Hua Hin Resort & Spa, which has long been a Hua Hin favourite for three decades, keeps up with the time with a big renovation plan. The spacious lobby is now modern and minimalist, compared to its grand but old-fashioned vibe in the past. The iconic floor-to-ceiling glass windows allow in ample natural light and afford guests a sense of arrival with a view of the swimming pool down to the horizon, befitting a beachfront property. Facilities and accommodations have also been refreshed while the garden and swimming pool area is up next for renovation.

» Chiva-Som International Health Resort celebrated its quadranscentennial milestone last year as a pioneer in wellness retreats in Thailand. The brainchild of Boonchu Rojanastien, who was a former finance minister and banker, started out as his personal weekend retreat where he went with friends and family to escape from Bangkok's hustle and bustle. From 1995, the beachfront 17.7-rai property has evolved into an internationally renowned wellness destination that has welcomed many A-listers and collected many accolades, including "Best Destination Spa" by Condé Nast Traveller The Spa Awards 2020. 25 years in the biz. They must be doing something right.

» Tomorrow (Jan 10) is Thai Children’s Day and we big kids at Guru think you should never forget your inner child. You can feel like a kid all year round, actually. No, we don’t mean sucking your thumb while no one is watching or throwing a tantrum when your parents refuse to buy you a new Lamborghini. We mean partaking in our selection of activities that are suitable for big (and small) kids. Happy Children’s Day, kiddos!

Amid the cascade of information and misinformation, one item caught our attention, like a crystal-encrusted golden whistle under the midday light. It was an item about nightlife giant Ku De Ta closing its doors after a series of “bad circumstances” over the past few months that were bad for business with the shutdown being the last straw.
