LUXURY HOTELS IN THAILAND

Commanding a prime position on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, The Siam is a 39-suite, Art Deco-inspired hotel designed by the internationally-acclaimed architect, Bill Bensley.

Magnificently spacious and private, the Four Seasons Private Residences (one to five bedroom) sit on the edge of paddy fields within this stunning Chiang Mai resort.

Cascading down the hillside on the tiny island of Koh Yao Noi, the Six Senses offers spectacular views of the limestone pinnacles of Phang Nga Bay amid the dazzling Andaman Sea.

Nestled on a sheltered bay on the remote southern tip of Koh Lanta, Pimalai offers the best of both worlds with 5-star luxury juxtaposed with local bars and restaurants at the far end of the beach.

Set against an emerald-green, forested backdrop on the edge of the soft golden sands of Koh Lanta's renowned 'Long Beach', the Layana is a sophisticated adults-only hideaway.

Poised above the Andaman Sea on a hillside draped in verdant palms, Andara's location is one of the most striking on Phuket.

Nestled between sparkling shoreline and green wooded slopes at Phuket island's southern tip, Nai Harn is a stunning sanctuary that shows off the very best Thailand has to offer.

Perched in a prime location on the northern tip of Phuket, Anantara Mai Khao Villas offers an exclusive refuge on a long stretch of golden sands, fringed by the densely forested Sirinath National Park.

Coastal settings do not get much more spectacular than Paresa's. Nestled in jungle-covered cliffs on Phuket's western shore, this is one of the most exclusive addresses in Thailand.

Located in a secluded cove against the backdrop of fig and coconut palms on a forested hillside, Trisara is the most luxurious and private of all the pool villa resorts on the island of Phuket.
