Finally the 2015 New Thai Hotels and Resorts Master List is out. It is a little late this year but I think the depth of the list makes it worth the wait. As always I will be adding to the list and updating it throughout the year as new information comes in.

Don't forget to check the Supplementary List with over 30 projects in various stages in the production pipeline with scheduled opening dates going all the way to 2018.

Run away to Ko Samui where you will find the resplendent and seductive Prana Resort Nandana dedicated to soothing weary souls. The subtle touches of classy elegance will leave you floating on a cloud of pure "bliss out" time. No compromises have been made where a guest's comfort is concerned in a resort that is dedicated to a total chill out experience. Prana Resort Nandana is the perfect fit for romantic escapades, the harried and hustled business consumed person, with or without a family in tow or even for a business conference that defies being a conventional think tank exercise.

There is a space of calm to suit everyone; whether it is doing absolutely nothing, to pounding and mind numbing gym workouts or soothing body treatments in the amazing traditional Thai spa, Amezcua. Indulge yourself and find the perfect escape that you have been craving.

If you want to escape the "same same" hotel experience and wish for a more "homey" place to return to at the end of the day, book into the Citidines Grand Central Sri Racha where smart serviced residences will give you all the necessities of a hotel, and a space to call your own.  Short term or long term, the studio, one or two bedroom apartments are designed for travelers who know what they want when seeking personal time out at the end of a long hot day. 

A stunning outdoor swimming pool complete with a sauna and well-equipped gym compliment the other facilities available such as free Wi-Fi, private car parking and 24-hour reception.  All residences have fully equipped kitchens to whip up a late night feast and the oh so necessary cable channels on LCD TV screens.   

Fast becoming the hotel to return to time and time again, the Indigo Bangkok is where local vintage flavors are treated to a modern Western twist. It is a must stay place for those who appreciate visual treats as much as impeccable service. In pursuit of satisfying patron's every wish, Indigo Bangkok is all about the satisfying your pleasure. Eclectic and streamlined, the hotel's decor reflects the rich local heritage of the area.

The location is perfect as Indigo Bangkok sits in a green park area amidst historical market places and brash shiny new mega shopping malls with the BTS a mere five minute walk away. From the moment you check-in, you will feel the warmth of a Thai smile and a bend over backwards to help you attitude. You may never want to leave this slice of Bangkok paradise.
