With most offices in Hong Kong issuing work-from-home orders to their staff, schools closed indefinitely, and the mid-winter doldrums upon us, what better time to consider an escape to a tranquil destination in Asia. Working poolside beats being crammed into your small Hong Kong flat with the kids for days, or weeks, on end.
We’re featuring two of Thailand’s most luxurious resorts on the exotic island of Krabi and on the Ping River near Chiang Mai. Take advantage of their exclusive offers and get away from it all.

Like Nowhere Else On Earth
Setting on the edge of Krabi's National Marine Park at the heart of the stunning Phranang Peninsula perfectly blends lush foliage, limestone cliffs, white sand beaches and the emerald waters of the Andaman Sea. The resort's award-winning architecture and tropical landscapes were inspired by the atmosphere of a southern Thai village.
The resort's 96 two-storey pavilions and 5 luxurious villas are dotted throughout tropical gardens and coconut groves and feature fully equipped, spacious accommodation and stylish details throughout. The pavilions’ unique circular design blends perfectly with the resort's natural surroundings.

A River Sanctuary, Experience The Essence Of The Past
Inspired by the spirit of Lanna life in former times, Raya Heritage offers a clean, contemporary take on traditional Thai design. Beautifully curated, one-of-a-kind furniture pieces, artifacts and accessories, sourced from and often created by hand by local craftspeople, are featured throughout.
The resort concept stems from northern Thai culture’s elegant approach to life and art, and the social value placed on living in balance with nature and the surrounding community. Immersed in tranquil natural surroundings on the banks of the Ping River, Raya Heritage's serene atmosphere makes it the perfect base for discovering the unique charms of the area at an unhurried pace.
