Amari anew
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 31/01/2020
» Amari Pattaya, which underwent major renovations last year, now offers the new Amari Suites and original-but-fully-rejuvenated Amari Tower. It immediately gives guests a sense of arrival with its vast and spacious lobby at Amari Tower. The receptionists work with their backs to a huge and beautiful wall panel created by Italian artist Alex Turco. It shows different shades of blue, fitting to Amari Pattaya's beachside location. Look above and you'll see a very long rattan chandelier that resembles the clouds. Living up to its family-friendly status, a counter is dedicated to a children's check-in. Yep, you read that right. A young guest who's below the age of 12 can "check-in" and receive vouchers and small gifts. Gimmicky, definitely yes. But it should make the kids feel special and welcome. And who wouldn't like that?

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.
No Kiddin' Around
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 17/05/2019
» 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.
Hooray in Hong Kong
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 14/12/2018

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
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 30/03/2018
» 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.
