Songkran Celebrations at Anantara Chiang Mai

28/3/2023

Comments

 
Picture
Songkran is a time for blessings, for new beginnings, but also riotous fun. Its multi-day water fights are world famous, and no city does them better than Chiang Mai. Anantara offers the perfect location from which to enjoy the festivities – close to the centre of the action, yet a quiet place to retreat to in between water fights.
 
Anantara Chiang Mai Resort is located on the western bank of the Ping River, just five minutes’ drive from Tha Pae Gate, the centre of Chiang Mai’s Songkran festivities. With verdant lawns, the resort is ideal for family play.
 
Immersing guests in the richness of Songkran traditions, there will also be Buddha bathing, or song nam phra, at the lobby between 12 and 15 April.
 
Feasting comes in the form of an on-site temple fair on the evening of 14 April, with street food stalls, Mekhong whisky cocktails and lively entertainment. There is also the traditional delicacy of khao chae available each day for lunch, perfect for hot summer days.
 
Guests may enjoy Lanna rituals at the award-winning spa, such as the signature yajoo massage that harnesses the healing powers of indigenous herbs, and a special Songkran ritual of som poi blessing with holy water to wash away ill fortune and start anew in the coming new year.
 
For guests in the city primarily to join in the excitement of water fighting, the resort’s Songkran Escape prepares them with water guns, splash kits, and complimentary half-day use of a tuk-tuk to find the best fights around the city. The offer also includes daily breakfast and one khao chae lunch set for stays of two nights or more during the period of 12-16 April.
 
Prices start from THB 12,900++ per room per night for the Songkran Escape, and THB 1,200++ per person for the Songkran dinner. For more information or reservations, visit anantara.com, call +66 53 253 333 or email chiangmai@anantara.com

Perfectly positioned in North Bangkok, just 100 meters from Kamphaeng Phet MRT subway station, Best Western Chatuchak is easily accessible from all parts of this dynamic city. Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal, Bangkok’s new main rail terminal, and Don Mueang International Airport are just a short distance away, making this a convenient place to stay for domestic and international travelers alike.
 
Guests can unwind in a selection of 192-stylish rooms and suites, each of which comes fully equipped with signature king or twin beds, contemporary interiors, a working desk and views of the city. Modern amenities include a 43-inch HDTV and entertainment system, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a bathroom with a rainfall shower.
 
Best Western Chatuchak is set to become a major hub for meeting planners. This highly accessible hotel features world-class function space including a naturally-lit ballroom with 280 square meters of pillar-free floorspace and soaring 8.4-meter-high ceilings, allowing it to accommodate 300 guests. This sophisticated venue also extends out onto a 3,200-square meter outdoor terrace and garden, which sets the stage for glamorous alfresco receptions, and a separate meeting room can accommodate up to 100 people. This makes the hotel ideal for all types of corporate and social gathering, including weddings. The excellent local transport and large onsite parking lot mean that all delegates can come and go with ease.
 
“We are delighted to introduce Best Western Chatuchak to our guests from around the world. Located on the doorstep of Chatuchak Market, which attracts more than 200,000 visitors every weekend, this is a great option for retail lovers and culture seekers. It will also become an important venue for conferences, events and weddings, establishing a new frontier in Bangkok’s thriving meetings, incentives, conferencing and exhibitions (MICE) sector. Just moments from Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal and fully connected with urban transport links, Best Western Chatuchak represents another important milestone in the development of this up-and-coming urban district,” said Olivier Berrivin, Vice President of International Operations – APAC, BWH Hotel Group®.
