 The
Peninsula
Bangkok
One of Bangkok's most prestigious addresses, the Peninsula offers outstanding service, spacious guestrooms overlooking the river, and countless little luxuries like exotic fruits, Thai flowers, and marble bathrooms complete with televisions. Dining at the hotel is among the finest in the city and includes the famous Peninsula afternoon high tea, accompanied by live classical music. We recommend taking advantage of the luxury spa nestled among gardens in a three-story building complete with floor-to-ceiling windows, rain showers, and a balcony with sweeping views of the Chao Phraya River.

artwork, and furniture upholstered in the finest Thai silks. The hotel's

service and comfort, with beautiful interiors featuring hand-painted silk

 The
Oriental
Bangkok
Many first-time
visitors to Bangkok feel that staying at the Oriental is a requirement. One of Asia's most legendary properties, the Oriental has hosted dignitaries and celebrities for well over a century and has maintained its reputation for elegance and excellent service. We recommend the River Wing rooms, which afford superb views of the Chao Praya. Guests can also enjoy the Jim Thompson silk
boutique, superb restaurants, tea parlor, and outstanding spa. The city's main temples and sights, including Wat Arun (the
Temple of Dawn), Wat Pho, and the Grand Palace, are a just a longtail boat
ride from the hotel's pier, as is the River City art
and antique complex.

 The
Four Seasons Resort
Chiang Mai
Arguably Asia's most luxurious resort, the Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai
pays tribute to the artistic and cultural heritage of Chiang Mai and northern
Thailand. Lanna-style pavilions offer superb views overlooking gardens,
terraced rice paddies, and the smoky blue mountain range in the distance.
For families or small groups, the resort also offers palatial Residence
Suites, which are expansive villas complete with private plunge pool, rooftop
penthouse, and a live-in housekeeper. Spend a lazy afternoon lounging by
the resort's scenic plunge pool, or enjoying the indulgent Lanna Spa, set
in lush tropical vegetation. The spa offers private herbal steam rooms,
romantic outdoor soaking tubs and outdoor showers, and tropical rainshower
massage tables. There is plenty to see and do in the region surrounding
the resort, including soft adventure touring, and visits to Chiang Mai's
temples, night market, and craft workshops.

 Amanpuri
Phuket
The Amanpuri was the first Aman resort ever built, and its dramatic success
inspired the creation of the other award-winning Aman resorts in Asia. As
the only Aman property in Thailand, the Amanpuri is the most decadent resort
experience in Southern Thailand. Its location, on the most beautiful private
beach in Phuket, overlooking the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea, makes
it a perfect place to rest and enjoy pure island tranquility. The forty
Thai-style pavilions blend harmoniously into the landscape, each with stunning
interior design and luxurious amenities. The limited numbers of guests ensures
that privacy is maintained, with attention to detail and gracious service
of the highest standard. Honeymooners are treated extremely well here.

The Anantara
Golden Triangle
Deep in the mountain jungles and bamboo forests of northern Thailand is the Anantara, a lovely base from which to explore the Golden Triangle. Rooms at the Anantara feature dark teak wood and crisp white linens with Thai silk adding colorful accents. We recommend a room with a balcony, where guests can sit on their outdoor sofa and enjoy the view over the gardens to Laos and Burma. Additional amenities include a beautiful infinity pool, two restaurants, and the Elephant Bar and Opium Terrace, where most people gather for an evening cocktail. Another major draw of the Anantara is the Elephant Camp, a branch of the Thai Elephant Conservation Centre that is supported by the Royal Thai government. Learn to guide an elephant like a true mahout, ride elephant-back through the jungle, or jump in the river and help bathe the gentle beasts – spending time with the peaceful pachyderms is one of the most compelling reasons to stay at the Anantara.

 Trisara
Phuket
In Sanskrit, Trisara means “third garden in heaven,” and this luxurious resort earns its name -- all of the residential villas are set within a tropical forest above a private bay on the Andaman Sea. Each of the 39 villas and suites has been carefully designed to accommodate either couples or families, and each features a private pool and magnificent views. Pool Villas have their own teak sundecks, outdoor showers and private infinity pools while Ocean View Pool Suites sit higher above the bay and offer spectacular sea views with outdoor showers, separate living room areas, and a spa treatment bathroom. Guests may choose from the wide array of activities offered at the resort including tennis, yachting, diving, or golf. We recommend arranging a treatment in one of the Spa Pavilion’s six ocean-facing private treatment suites, where open windows invite the refreshing sea breeze.

 Chiva-Som
International Health Resort
Hua Hin
Chiva-Som is a wonderful place to rejuvenate your body and spirit. Located
in Hua Hin, just two hours by car from Bangkok, the resort is one of Thailand's
most intimate and luxurious getaways. Guests enjoy Thai and Western spa
cuisine, daily massages, and a choice of activities, including yoga, tai
chi, Thai boxing, biking, swimming, and golf. There's also an endless array
of beauty and body treatments and health consultations available, both in
the Eastern and Western traditions. A visit to Chiva Som is a vacation in
itself, or a nice complement to more in-depth cultural touring in Northern
Thailand.

 Rayavadee
Premier Resort
Krabi
The most luxurious accommodation in Krabi, Rayavadee offers visitors the
privacy and seclusion of a private island and the amenities and service
of a top resort. The property is set in a coconut plantation on the Phra
Nang headland and is surrounded by three immaculate beaches with crystal
water and dramatic jutting rock outcrops. Guests stay at a deluxe private
pavilion set in one of three "villages," each with its own advantages --
Nam Mao is closest to the main resort and restaurant, Railay is best positioned
for viewing the sunset, and Phra Nang offers a lush, tropical environment
and even more privacy. Any of these is an excellent base from which to explore
the tropical rainforests, take out a canoe, snorkel, or simply relax by
the pool or beach.
