New & featured hotels

Haven of luxury in Northern Thailand

Nestled among emerald rice fields, Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai is a sanctuary of well-being, perfect for unwinding, recharging and finding fulfilment with individually-tailored experiences. 

The serene, luxurious rooms range from a private pavilion overlooking the verdant landscape to the plush interiors of an exclusive residence.

 

Three unique updates from the hotel:

Urban sanctuary in the heart of Chiang Mai

InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping is located in the heart of Chiang Mai. Created with a rich story of Lanna Heritage,  the property features the handiwork of local artisans while offering a contemporary escape.

 

The contemporary 240 guest rooms and suites are exhibitions of “Chang Sip Mu” or ten styles of time-honoured craftsmanship. The ten styles embrace drawing, engraving, wood turning, sculpting, modelling, figuring, moulding, lacquering, plastering and metal beating.

The hotel offers a variety of dining venues, providing an unforgettable culinary journey of authentic northern Thailand cuisine with a modern twist.

The pleasure of living well

Nothing soothes the soul like the ocean. Every one of Amatara Welleisure Resorts’ suites and villas takes in a view of blue and opens to the sea air. 

 

Not only does the hotel offer numerous wellness retreat programs they have an extensive array of treatments, activities and creative wellness workshops. Guests can choose as many or as little as they like, or leave to the hotel to curate a program to help guests reach their wellness goals while having a great holiday.

Tranquility Wellness Harmony

This classic favourite is back and better than ever. 

Nestled in the sunrise beach of Bophut Bay, Zazen is a boutique resort of style & peace. Pioneering the essence of a Thai retreat, the hotel wanted to revolutionise Zazen into a haven of elegant comfort & authentic values – a home away from home. 

Now reopened with a new elegant day club, Zazen offers a tranquil atmosphere for sunrise yoga and meditation. The property also boasts a natural-water infinity pool and dining venues with carefully crafted menus.

New Terminal at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi:

A reminder for anyone who missed it in last month’s update. Recently, a new terminal opened at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport. Although this does not affect guests’ arrival and departure services from EXO, we wish to share the following details to keep you informed:

 

  • The new terminal SAT-1 (Gates: S101-S128) is now open for international flights. At present, there is no plan to use this terminal for domestic flights.
  • The commute between SAT-1 and the main terminal (Terminal 1) takes approximately 5 minutes by shuttle train (APM – Automated People Mover Train).
  • Current airlines landing at and departing from SAT-1 are: Thai Airways, Thai Air Asia X, VietJet, Air China, and Turkish Airlines. However, not all flights by these airlines are operating through the new terminal and a complete list of flights using the new terminal has yet to be announced. 
  • For more info about the new terminal, check out this video here. Although it is in Thai, it provides a great visual overview of the new wing.

As we receive any further updates regarding SAT-1, we will  keep you informed.
