The St Regis Bangkok has a new wellness program that features Thai boxing with an actual boxing ring. The program will be overseen by Boonsanong Borchae, who has over 15 years of Thai boxing experience and also has a degree in sports science. The boxing sessions are customized towards helping beginners. The sessions focus on the precision and safety of the boxing. The sessions will cost $44 for guests of the St Regis Bangkok and $63 for non-guests. St Regis Bangkok is the second (that I know of) Bangkok luxury hotel with a Muay Thai boxing ring- the stunning The Siam has had a ring since it opened a few years ago.

Key Takeaways:

• St. Regis Bangkok has added Thai boxing (Muay Thai) to its fitness programme options.
• Customized training sessions are available for all fitness levels, with a focus on precision and safety.
• F-EMS training burns more than 1,000 calories in 25 minutes

“As an added fitness option, F-EMS training at the ELEMIS Spa provides a full-body workout to tone and shape the body.”

Anana is an eco friendly hotel near Ao Nang in southern Thailand. It is a brainchild of Wolfgang Grimm, a third generation German hotelier. Everything about the hotel such as picking vegetables to eat, natural furnishings in rooms, and going plastic free, are aimed to ensure that the ecosystem is not harmed. There is a regular shuttle from the hotel to the city and transportation via taxi is cheap. The hotel also has a club near the beach, which is quiet compared to other beaches.

Key Takeaways:

• Like driving a Tesla car, it’s quite eerie at first to find oneself propelled along in total silence
• This 59-room hotel only opened just before Christmas 2018 but has already earned a Green Globe sustainable tourism certification
• Disappointing exterior aesthetics aside, this is a resort that shines in ecological and sustainability terms.

“It might seem like a bit of a fairytale, but Grimm is on a mission to replace the belch and roar of the classic longtail boat engine with the near-silent purr of an electric motor – the Thai Tesla, as it were.”

Khao Lak is a vicinity comprised of more than fifty distinct islands. It is located off the western part of Thailand’s mainland. Although Thailand is itself a tourist beacon, the district of Khao Lak qualifies all on its own as a tourist mecca.

Not only does it have facilities and charm and vistas up the wazoo, the temperature is a warm and beckoning average of 74-89 degrees, with two major variants, specifically hot and dry and cool and wet. There is a volatile season that features high wind and lots of rain. It is not the best choice for travellers and in fact, most businesses shut down for this brief interim.

Otherwise, there is a lovely old-world village for travellers to peruse, besides waterfalls and beaches and caves, a picture-takers, rock-climbers spelunker’s and memory-makers paradise come true.

Key Takeaways:

• Khoa Lak has a season of violent storms, during which travellers may want to stay away, especially since businesses are closed for the most part.
• Khao Lak can be found off the west coast of Thailand’s mainland and is a compilation of about fifty islands.
• The district has a lovely old-world village, lots of caves and waterfalls to explore as well.

“But Khao Lak is a place with an unquenchable spirit, and it has bounced back with aplomb to be reborn as an enviable holiday destination with a happy atmosphere, long swathes of gold sand beaches, mid to upscale resorts perfect for families, great restaurants, excellent snorkelling and diving, and incredible unspoilt scenery.”
