Good to Know
Amanpuri
- As the original Aman, this is the property most "Aman Junkies" cite as their favourite — worth booking even if you've stayed at newer, flashier Aman resorts.
- Pansea Beach is genuinely quiet compared to the rest of Phuket — the resort's position and private access keep it that way.
- About 30 minutes from Phuket International Airport.
The Sukhothai Bangkok
- Setting: six acres of low-rise pavilions, lotus ponds and tropical gardens on South Sathorn Road.
- Eligible stays participate in GHA DISCOVERY, including DISCOVERY Dollars and tier recognition.
- Bangkok traffic makes transfer timing important, particularly at weekday peaks.
