A Hotel Tour of Thailand

Indigo Pearl has been voted as one of the most romantic hotel getaways in Thailand. It is located on Phuket Island's north-west coast of Nai Yang Beach. The special secluded atmosphere offers "pearl shell", perfect for a romantic holiday or honeymoon vacation. Another secluded hotel is the Sila Evason Hideaway on Koh Samui Island. It is ensconced on the northern part of Ban Plailaem Beach, hidden in indigenous flora and vegetation. Amari Trang Beach resort and Spa offers an atmosphere of Thailand's laid-back lifestyle of by-gone years. Le Meridien Khao Lak Beach & Spa Resort is another secret in Phang Nga. Travelers can explore around the islands there including James Bond Island, which got its name from being in the 1974 James Bond film. Paradise Koh Yao Boutique Resort & Spa is a peaceful place around the Phang Nga area as well, which a beautiful place for travelers who would like a more private vacation. Back in Phuket, Andaman White Beach Resort Phuket might be the most famous unknown hotel. This is where Leonardo DiCaprio's movie "The Beach" was filmed. One of the most chic and obscure.

In the north of Thailand, Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi Hotel Chiang Mai offers exquisite service and one of the best spas in the world. More unusual experiences include the magical Anantara Golden Triangle Resort and Spa in Chiang Saen, which overlooks the Mekong river and hills of Myanmar and Laos. This hotel is part of Anantara Elephant Camp which rescues elephants from abusive lives around Thailand. Lampang River Lodge is another unspoiled and pristine experience where travelers can stay in bungalows on the Wang River. There are also many opportunities for travelers to explore the various hill tribe cultures in this area of Thailand.

Back in the big city, Bangkok offers the hottest new chic abodes. The Luxx is a new urban trendy boutique hotel in Silom for young hip travelers. The VIE is the newest in 'design' hotels which offers sleek amenities and facilities for the city dweller. The Eugenia is a special inn that offers a classic setting of Thailand in the colonial era. There are a limited number of suites, so book ahead of time here. The usual big boys like Conrad, Grand Hyatt Erawan, Four Seasons, and The Sukothai are always some of the top picks in Bangkok as well. What separate them from each other are the special accommodations they offer. Visit the Conrad and find out about their Hilton honors program. Also, at your visit to the Four Seasons, make sure to learn about their executive club which offers 24 hours service for a nominal fee provided for your comfort. On the outskirts of the city on the river Chao Phraya, the Marriot Royal Garden Riverside Hotel is one of the only resort hotels in Bangkok. It has a beautiful interior design and has regular Thai traditional performances. High season in Thailand is in the winter months (November to March), so book a room beforehand during these months.
