What happens during TAT?

  • Our new director, Ms. Busakorn Prommanot, also known as Khun Apple, finally arrived in Sydney last week after a lengthy Australian visa process. If you would like to meet her or extend a warm welcome, please contact her at [email protected].
  • The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) will publish the MICHELIN Guide to Thailand at the end of this year. The 2023 edition will feature Northeast Thailand (Isan) for the first time – represented by the four cities of Nakhon Ratchasima, Ubon Ratchathani, Udon Thani, and Khon Kaen – alongside Bangkok, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Phang-nga. These four cities were chosen to represent Northeast Thailand's distinctive and flavorful cuisine, as well as its remarkable natural and cultural heritage.

    • Destination highlight: Kamala Beach, Phuket

    The name Kamala Beach immediately conjures up images of luxurious resorts, hence its nickname "Millionaires' Mile." Kamala Beach is a tranquil beach on Phuket's west coast, popular with families and travelers seeking a relaxing vacation. Its location is ideal: just 6 km north of bustling Patong and south of Laem Singh Beach. Originally a small fishing village with a predominantly Muslim population, Kamala has, over the years, become a popular destination for retirees and long-term vacationers who stay in its small hotels, villas, and apartments.

    The atmosphere of the fishing village has been preserved, and it's not uncommon to see local fishermen casting their nets. Until recently, Kamala's nightlife was rather relaxed, with a few reggae bars and restaurants, but it has become significantly more lively with the opening of the Café Del Mar Beach Club and the HQ Phuket Beach Lounge.

    Product highlight: Andara Resort & Villas Phuket

    One of Phuket's most popular resorts attracts guests year after year for good reason. This luxurious and sprawling retreat is located on the island's west coast in Kamala Bay. It offers a selection of spacious suites with one to four bedrooms, most with private pools, as well as ultra-luxurious pool villas with three to six bedrooms, complete with a private chef and personal villa attendant. We recommend booking the multi-bedroom suites and bringing your best friends. Enjoy the popular Pool Suite with 200 to 400 square meters of privacy, including a spacious living and dining area. Don't miss the daily changing cocktail specials at the resort's main pool and the exclusive wellness treatments at the Andara Spa. The resort even has its own yacht, the "Celebrity," available for private charters in the beautiful Andaman Sea. For more information, check out the Andara Resort video.
