Thailand hotels

Some of the most popular nightlife experiences in Thailand are high above the cities at trendy rooftop bars. The Vertigo and Moon Bar on the roof of the Banyan Tree Bangkok offers a panoramic 360 degree view of Bangkok from 61 floors up, providing the perfect place to enjoy some sunset cocktails with just a sheet of glass between you and the night sky. The 5 star SO/ Bangkok, meanwhile, hosts a rooftop pool party every month that is widely regarded as the best of its kind.

Apart from beautiful beaches, the island of Phuket also boasts world class golf courses over stunning landscapes, such as the prestigious Blue Canyon Country Club Courses and Laguna Golf Phuket. The Banyan Tree Phuket is set in the Lagoon itself, a tropical fairy-tale where you find yourself surrounded by palm trees and the waters of the hotel’s pools as well as the Bang Tao Bay.

The main venue for shopping in Chiang Mai, and arguably Thailand, is the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar, known for its handicrafts and portrait paintings. Hotel des Artists, Ping Silhouette puts you within just a 10-minute walk of this unmissable part of the Thailand experience, as well as the Warorot and Muang Mai Markets. Bangkok is another prime destination for shoppers - with big air-conditioned shopping centres as well as plenty of night markets available. The Rembrandt Hotel and Suites is a luxury hotel close to shopping malls such as Terminal 21.
