Experience Thailand from Five Star Luxury Hotels
The Diverse Regions of Thailand are Well Served by Luxurious Hotels
Aug 1, 2009
Thailand is an ideal vacation destination since it encompasses so many diverse regions and types of holiday. The beauty of Thailand is that whether exploring the mountains and rainforests of the North and Northeast of Thailand, sun worshiping on the sandy beaches of the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea, trekking through national park forests, exploring crystal clear coral reefs or just enjoying the vibrant city life of Bangkok or Pattaya, all these vacations can be enjoyed from a wide variety of five star luxury hotels, at a fraction of the cost of anywhere else
Northern Thailand and the Anantara Golden Triangle Resort
The least tourist orientated part of Thailand is the North and Northeast. This is a land of mountains, unspoiled forests and numerous national parks, far removed from the hustle of Bangkok and the tourist hotspots of the Gulf of Thailand. Despite this, in cities such as Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Udon Thani, there are a wealth of tourist facilities available, including a great number of five star luxury hotels. The Anantara Golden Triangle Resort and Spa epitomizes the beauty of this region, both in its design and its hillside location overlooking Burma and Laos. The Anantara’s world class standards of luxury and service can be enjoyed for less than $150 per person per night.
Bangkok and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel
Irrespective of the type of Thai vacation tourists are on, most will want to spend at least one night in Bangkok, the pulsating capital of Thailand. Bangkok is a huge metropolis, combining an ultra modern lifestyle cheek by jowl with old world charm and serene Buddhist culture. From the back packer accommodation on Khao San Road to the huge number of luxury hotels in Silom, the “City of Angels” has accommodation to suit every tourist. For those that want to experience the history and luxury of old Bangkok, then the Mandarin Oriental has it all. Although now part of a large multinational company, the Oriental has been at the heart of Bangkok for over 130 years. Here tourists can enjoy one of the great pleasures of old Bangkok, cocktails at the Oriental, as the sun sets over “The Mother of All Rivers”, the Chao Phraya. Unparalleled elegance and service can be had for as little as $150 per person per night.
The Royal Cliff Beach Resort in Pattaya
If Bangkok is the pulsing heart of Thailand, then Pattaya is its brash playground. Barely large enough to be called a city, Pattaya, like Bangkok offers the tourist a large number of attractions, including fine restaurants and a diverse choice of five star accommodations. Unlike Bangkok it also has miles of beautiful sandy beaches. Most of the multinational five star hotel chains have a presence in Pattaya, but for convenience of location and elegance, the Royal Cliff Beach Resort stands out. Perfectly situated between the family friendly beach resort of Jomtien and the outrageous night life section of Pattaya, the Royal Cliff is situated in 64 acres of lush grounds overlooking the Gulf of Thailand and rooms can be had for as little as $100 per person per night.
Amanpuri Resort Phuket
Phuket Island, on the Andaman Sea has developed a reputation as a millionaire’s playground, but its elegant shopping, thriving nightlife and pristine beaches can be enjoyed by all types of tourists. The proximity of the AngThong National Marine Park and the coral rich Phangnga National Park has made it a haven of adventure holidays and eco tourism. There is a large choice of international first class five star hotels on the island including the Amanpuri Resort. Set in a natural coconut grove next to a crescent shaped beach, the Amanpuri combines the best of Thai culture with world class luxury and service. At around $300 per person per night this is real value for five star service.
From the azure waters of the Andaman Sea to Thailand's tallest Buddha image, from adventure holidays in Angthong National Marine Park to experiencing Thai culture in Mueang Boran, Thailand is a popular holiday destination that is well served with five star luxury hotels. The spirit of Thai culture combined with the innate gentleness of Thai people ensures that the level of service provided in such hotels is much greater than in comparable establishments elsewhere. What is truly amazing about Thailand is that such luxury and service comes at a fraction of the cost of the rest of the world.
