The pandemic may not be over, but the situation in Thailand—and in many other countries—is gradually looking up, allowing more room for normalcy to slowly make a comeback.
In anticipation of things slowly going back to normal, many establishments are opening up in the country. The first of December seems to be a lucky day for hotel and resort developers, who are finally unveiling their projects to both local and foreign visitors.
Here are five properties set to welcome guests in December.
The Standard Hua Hin
The American boutique brand makes its first move in Southeast Asia in the seaside town of Hua Hin. This new waterfront resort combines the peaceful charm of its locale with the brand’s on-fleek signature design to create a unique property that welcomes those who want heavy partying and chilled relaxing in equal measure. Full review coming soon.
