About
Old City rice-focused contemporary Thai restaurant — every dish built around northern Thai heirloom rice varieties, seasonal hill tribe vegetables, and a menu that makes Chiang Mai's agricultural heritage the hero. Warmly lit, genuinely local, and genuinely excellent.

The resort that launched Aman Hotels in 1988 — Thai pavilion architecture on a private hillside above Pansea Beach, a spa of global reputation, private longtail boat service, and an atmosphere of deep quiet luxury that has never been replicated. The most iconic resort in Thailand.
Gaggan Anand's 25-course emoji menu — progressive Indian cuisine that consistently ranks among Asia's and the world's best restaurants. Theatrical, emotional, technically extraordinary. Pre-booking essential months ahead.

Bangkok's most legendary hotel — operating since 1876 on the Chao Phraya river. Authors Suite where Conrad, Maugham, and Coward wrote. Le Normandie (Michelin), Bamboo Bar, and river terrace. Irreplaceable.
