OUT AND ABOUT IN CHIANGMAI
137 Pillars House Chiangmai
Last weekend the temperatures in Chiangmai were forecast to hit 38.C, so what better opportunity for us to try out coolest and newest Luxury property in Chiangmai 137 Pillars House.
As we mentioned earlier in the year - This very Unique and luxurious Colonial Designed Property has just Opened in Chiangmai. While many "Boutique" properties abound (and everyone has their own idea of what "Boutique" means…!!! ), 137 Pillars House is certainly a cut above them all. Just 30 Colonial Styled Suites, set against the original 137 Pillars House, (which dates back to the late 1800’s), in beautiful Gardens.
We stayed in an East Borneo Suite , which is very comfortable 75 Sq. Meter, Suite, with a large Balcony. Tastefully furnished, but including all the modern conveniences – Espresso Coffee Machine, I-pod Docking, Free Wi-Fi, etc. The Bathroom and Dressing areas are very spacious, with Indoor & Outside Showers, Free standing traditional Bath Tub, separate Vanities and large walk-in wardrobe.
Although a smaller property, the Pool is a charmingly, well designed "Lap Pool" with the amazing "Pool Wall", and attentive service. Overall, we had a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend at the Resort, with its peaceful location, but still within walking distance to the river and the Night Market Area of Downtown Chiangmai. |

We do have contracted rates for this attractive little Hotel, so if this of interest and you would like to include this Property in a Private Chiangmai Program Proposal from us – just let us know. We are sure this welcome addition to the "better" Accommodations in Chiangmai will certainly be the choice for many of our Clients. |
The Spa at The Chedi Chiangmai
As many of you know, The Chedi Chiangmai is a Property that we have been using for several years for our Clients who want to be right in the City. So for a break from the heat, we have just spent a delightful afternoon in The Spa at the Chedi Chiangmai. The Spa boasts a very nice, modern but very tranquil atmosphere, the Therapists & Treatments excellent and they have the best Massage Beds we have experienced (Heated and fully adjustable..). On completion relaxing overlooking the Pool & River, completes the experience perfectly. |

KRABI RESORTS OFFERS COMPLIMENTARY TRANSFERS FROM PHUKET AIRPORT
With the continued limited flight access to Krabi Airport – the 2 Top Krabi Resorts - Rayavadee Resort & Phulay Bay, a Ritz Carlton Reserve - are again be offering round-trip, complimentary transfers between Phuket International Airport and their Resorts in Krabi.
Although the trip from Phuket Airport does take longer (Just over 2 Hours) – it is over a scenic, well-paved road in the resort’s comfortable, air-conditioned van and depending on the flight availability & connections, many Clients find this as convenient as Krabi Airport (Which is only around 25-30 Minutes Transfer time), especially in light of how many direct flights there are now from Europe and Asia into Phuket.
This offer is valid for all bookings made through us at our seasonal contract rates at Resorts, with a minimum two night stay and is valid through April 31 October 2012 and must be Pre-booked. For more details on Krabi’s Location, Access, etc.– see our Maps & Report |

"SUMMER SEASON" HOTEL PROMOTIONS
As mentioned last month, as we move into the "Summer Season", many of the Hotels & Resorts that we regularly work with, do offer us “Promotions” for our Bookings with them for your Clients, for travel through to October 2012.
We are utilizing these promotions wherever possible, when quoting for new Private Program requests. Naturally, there are quite a range of offers. So for any specific request you may have, just let us know, but some of the more usual items are:
- Stay 3 nights / Pay 2 nights
- Inclusive Breakfast
- Special low season flat rates (usually with a Minimum 2 Nights stay required)
Most of the "Summer Offers" run from April-October and are naturally subject to availability at the time of booking.
For the Hotel & Resort Accommodations that we usually suggest - and links to the Properties – please see our Website. |
  |
|
Please remember - Although we do have Contracted Rates for these properties - as most of you will realize, these Rates (as well as the Promotions) are offered to us on the understanding that they are not sold alone, but as part of an overall package. So as such we are not able to provide individual Hotel Rates, nor in general to offer solely Hotel Bookings but would include accommodation here as part of an overall Private Thailand Program |
