Amari Pulse

Krabi, Thailand is essentially what people picture when they dream of paradise. Idyllic beaches, turquoise water, and otherworldly karsts jutting out of the sea. Guests at Amari Vogue Krabi often don’t want to leave because the place is just that awesome.

• Rock Climbing – If you’re a professional or even an aspiring adrenaline junky the craggy karsts of Krabi (try saying that 5 times fast) offer a vast selection of bolted mounts.

• Snorkeling – Descend form your cliff perch into the depths of a world painted with vibrant hues of turquoise. Trips can be arranged to Chicken Island (Koh Huua Kwan) and Koh Poda – and they are well worth a visit.

• Sea Canoeing – Explore the seemingly endless array of coves, caves, and islets dotting the otherworldly shores of Krabi on a nice canoe (depending on your physical prowess after a day of rock climbing).

• Partying – While Krabi is no Bangkok or Pattaya when it comes to partying – there are still many places to kick back with a cold one amidst the soft sounds of Reggae music.

• Dining – After all of the action you’d better re-fuel. Luckily there are many seafood restaurants serving up the day’s freshest catch – including the beach front Bellini restaurant at Amari Vogue.

To celebrate of Earth Day we held the second annual Arts for the Planet competition where students showed off their artistic prowess in the name of environmental responsibility.  

Students in primary schools (P1 – P6 for students aged 7-12 years) and secondary schools (M1 – M3 for students aged 12-15 years) in the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration system and Phuket were invited to take part in this year’s painting contest. 

The event is aimed at engaging the younger generation with art to foster critical thinking about environmental issues by using the theme, “Colours of Nature”. All proceeds will go to support the education of underprivileged children in Thailand.

 ‘Arts for The Planet’ was first initiated in April 2010 by ONYX Hospitality Group in co-operation with Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s Department of Education to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. Materials for the project have been kindly supported by Sakura Products (Thailand), with AC Fresh Fruit Juice providing refreshment for all of the students.

All winning paintings will be available for sale at the exhibition which is open to the public at the Amari Watergate Bangkok from June 15-30, and at Amari Coral Beach Phuket from June 1-20.
