Visiting the Land of Smiles

Monday, June 18, 2012

We recently asked one of our guests who stayed at Amari Orchid Pattaya and Amari Atrium Bangkok to share their experiences. Read on to find out what they liked most.  

The Land of Smiles
I can answer the question why people keep coming back to Thailand again and again! Nowhere else can you find such amazing value for money and still maintain great quality and service.

Here, people are so hospitable and so caring; I can see why they call it the Land of Smiles. I have always felt the same about Thailand and my recent stay with Amari in Bangkok and Pattaya was further proof of this!

Pattaya
Amari Orchid Pattaya is a fantastic hotel, offering impeccable service, professional staff and lots of things to do for the guests. If you’re tired after a long flight – you can relax yourself at Breeze Spa.

If you’re hungry – there’s amazing food at one of the hotel’s restaurants. If you’re bored and want to have some fun – ask the hotel’s concierge and they will organize any tour, any sightseeing trip that you want, and for your kids there’s a great Kids Club.

My Ocean Tower room had a very nice design and interior, in room bathtub feature included, and also an amazing panoramic view! But of course you should not stay in the hotel all the time when there is so much to see and do outside.

The hotel’s location is great, right in the middle of Pattaya, very close to the beach and the main shopping centers, pubs and bars. My stay at Amari Orchid was one of the highlights of my trip to Thailand this time.

Bangkok
Before returning home, I decided to make a stop-over in Bangkok, staying at Amari Atrium. My trip was both business and pleasure, and I think Amari Atrium is a great hotel for stays of both kinds. But also if you travel with family or kids, it will be a very comfortable place for you to visit.

On Sunday they do a fantastic family brunch at Cascade – which I was also very lucky to try. I saw parents enjoying great food – and tranquility, whilst their kids were entertained by doting staff, busy cooking, making pictures or being amused by the very characterful Chef!

In the evening we went to Mingles for a cocktail tasting– they have a wonderful cocktail menu, I definitely recommend the Margaritas!

Goodbye?
I think one can never be tired of Thailand. As for me, I’m determined to come here again – and again! And I’m sure that every time I come, I will be staying with my favorite Amari!
