This year, Piaget brings “Altiplano” to life, as part of its high jewellery collection “Sunlight Escape”, created in 8 different styles and expressed in a variety of unique Métiers d’Art craftsmanship, from marquetry to bulino engraving and enamelling techniques.
​All creations draw inspiration from the beautiful scenic where summer sun never sets, nights have the brightness of day, as well as the characteristic of wildlife. At the heart of these 8 watches beat Manufacture Piaget 430P, ultra-thin hand-wound mechanical movement, a worthy heir to the hand-wound Piaget 9P movement.

Followed by these two 38mm-diameter watches in white gold case; with 78 brilliant-cut diamonds on the bezel; Ice Crack Watch (G0A43198) comes with a blue enamelled engraving dial and white alligator strap. The engraved motif reminds the soft cracks that reveal the bright blue sea beneath the ice, while white and blue colours remind the intense colours of this amazing landscape. Green Borealis Watch (G0A43200), inspired by the Northern lights, one of the seven natural wonders appear only at high latitudes on dark nights, and lucky star-gazers can witness this captivating green glow across the sky, hosts fireworks of colors on its dial by using feather marquetry, together with small polished white gold parts recalling the brilliance of the light of stars on a mix of blue and deep purple background. Each timepiece is a limited edition of 18 pieces.

 Anantara Siam sits on Ratchadamri Road opposite the green space of Royal Bangkok Sports Club. The hotel opened its doors in 1983 as the Peninsula, then got re-branded as the Regent and again as the Four Seasons. “In 2016 the property took on the Anantara brand, and I think this name will stay for a very long time.”

Asked about his daily routine, Mr Both said: “Unfortunately the first thing I do in the morning is look at my mobile phone because obviously e-mails are coming in the whole day. Then I normally go to the hotel gym, have breakfast and dress for work. I wear a suit most of the time. Years ago, I wouldn’t have thought that was possible, but you get used to it. I have around 10 suits. I have a very good tailor in Bangkok.
 
“I come down for work around 7.30am. I like to walk the floors first thing, see how breakfast is going and check on the banquet rooms, and so on. Next, I go through reports, like the revenue report, and check on arrivals of VIPs and groups coming in throughout the day. Basically, I am preparing for the day ahead, although most preparation is actually done by the day before. I look at things that may have gone wrong, handle complaints if there are any, and look at where we need to allocate resources to avoid problems.
 
“Then I normally go to a morning meeting attended by the directors of finance, food and beverages, rooms, engineering, human resources, the front office manager and all the managers of various departments. This happens every day.

“The nice thing about hotels is that diversity of the work. Obviously guest satisfaction is a high priority and this means talking to a lot of people. There are always a lot of projects to oversee and lots of sales and marketing angles to consider. In addition to the regular morning meeting I generally have other meetings scheduled with team members.”
​
Mr Both was eager to talk about the 19th World Gourmet Festival at Anantara Siam from September 3-9. The festival brings a stellar line-up of thirteen chefs from twelve Michelin-starred restaurants, placing the Thai capital at the center of the international culinary stage.
 
“Top chefs from Korea, Japan, the United States, Portugal and elsewhere will host two dinners each in the Biscotti, Madison, Spice Market or Shintaro restaurants,” said the GM. “Since its inception the World Gourmet Festival has grown in prominence to feature a line-up of some of the best chefs, winemakers and food experts from across the globe for a week-long celebration of outstanding food and superb wines.”
 
Enlarging on his usual daily routine, he says: “I personally welcome most of our VIP customers. These aren’t usually entertainment stars, dignitaries or presidents, but rather potential investors in Anantara projects, regular guests that come very often, people  who are very much in the public eye or just clients who are very important to us for one reason or another.   

“The best room in the house is the 360 sqm presidential suite, which costs 180,000 baht per night. Some very well-known people have stayed there over the years, including US President Barak Obama, music star John Legend, and movie actor and producer Steven Seagal. There have been many other VIPs registered to the presidential suite who I can’t name.
 
“We host about 120 weddings in a year, as well as many seminars and conferences and social events like national day celebrations parties.
 
“Bangkok has always been one of the most competitive cities in Southeast Asia as far as the hotel business is concerned, and now with so many new five-star properties coming into the market the competition is obviously even more intense. You have pretty much every brand in the market here. There have always been always ‘price wars’ between hotels in Bangkok.
 
“In our meetings we compare prices of our competitors and we are constantly analyzing the market. There is a now a lot of business coming in from new market sectors, like the Chinese and online sales.”

The park is set to become the new landmark of Pattaya, where visitors can experience Thai culture and lifestyle in three aspects: Siam Vilize showcases civilization of Siam, Araya Thai presents Thai traditions and culture, and Bhumi Pan Din wisdom portrays the pride of Thailand. It is a cultural destination that brings together Thai arts, culture and shopping in one place, with a special show titled “The Echoes of Legend Siam”, which is a music and art performance, presented through the vision of Manop Meejamrat, a Silapathorn Artist. Other performances include Miss Grand Thailand’s “Legend Siam Culture Fashion Show”. The Minister of Tourism and Sports Weerasak Kowsurat accepted the invitation, joining the opening as the president of ceremony.

Visanu Thepcharoen, CEO of Nusasiri Public Company Limited said, “ The Legend Siam Theme Park is the first cultural theme park ever in Thailand, aiming to represent the pride of Thailand and to present a strong standpoint and intention in supporting Thailand’s tourism industry and economic growth respectively. As we have visioned the potential growth in tourism sector, Legend Siam is prepared for the opening coming up end of this year. Situated on 164 rai with total space of more than 10,000 square meters, of which 50,000 square meters are shops and amusement park, this 4,000 billion baht project brings about joyfulness, cultural and traditional aesthetic, history of each era and region. We are certain that Legend Siam will be a new landmark of Pattaya that creates happiness for visitors.

Weerasak Kowsurat, The Minister of Tourism and Sports said, “I am pleased, acknowledging that this mega project will create a different image of tourism on the East Coast of Thailand. We will see private and industrial sectors working with community. In the past, people focused on seashore and outdoor activities, when talked about Pattaya. From now on, the history is changing. People will be attracted by its coastal beauty, cultural, traditional commemoration including local spirit and soul that will represent Thailand as the Land of Smile. These determinants will help bring local products and community to light. The project implicates Thai people to be prepared for the productive changes in east coast area and surroundings, as we gear toward growth in investment as well as sustainability and balance in tourism.”
