    Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle

    Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 17/09/2020

    » There are not many places where ultimate luxury becomes one with the wilderness. This resort nestled on a forest-covered hillside on the bank of the winding Ruak River that separates Thailand from Myanmar, not far from the point where the waterway reaches the larger Mekong, is one of the rare few. Despite its location on the northern border, the property is ­convenient to reach from Bangkok. And thanks to Covid-19, the exceptional experience it offers is more affordable than ever.

    Explore hidden gems outside Bangkok

    Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 24/09/2020

    » The other day when I learned that the Tourism Society, an academic network of communities that run tourism operations, was planning an outing to Ban Sala Daeng Nuea and nearby sites of interest, my heart leapt with joy. This Mon community by the Chao Phraya River is one where the residents still cherish their cultural heritage. Located in Pathum Thani's Sam Khok district, which is only 37km or so from Pak Kret, Nonthaburi, where I live, Ban Sala Daeng Nuea and its namesake temple are among those places in adjacent provinces that I've long wanted to visit but somehow never got the chance to.

    Banyan Tree Samui

    Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 01/10/2020

    » Over the past several months on Koh Samui peacefulness has prevailed, so much so that for the first time in six years green sea turtles came to lay eggs on the island. The ­secluded beach in front of this property was where three nests were found in February. In early April, 200 hatchlings emerged from the buried nests and hastily made their way into the sea which is their true home. I visited the all-pool villa resort earlier this month but, unlike the turtles, found the place not that easy to leave.

    » Bed is a Chiang Mai-based chain with only four properties. However, you may find several hotels in the northern city that have a similar name and even design, which reflects the small's chain reputation since imitation is said to be the sincerest form of flattery.

    Get sky high and shoot the Sun

    Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 10/09/2020

    » Where is the best place in Bangkok to take pictures of sunrise? Of course, that's a tough question for quite a few reasons. Anyway, how about the Mahanakhon Skywalk, as a candidate?

    Humble museum holds keys to past

    Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 10/09/2020

    » Entering the main hall of Chiang Saen National Museum in its namesake border town 64km or so northeast of Chiang Rai downtown, I was greeted by three beautiful seated Buddha images from the 16th century. Each had a pretty chubby body and a round face with a prominent chin and a closed-lips smile, typical of Chiang Saen, aka Lanna, style.
