  • Bangkok
    • Being a capital city and one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations holds a lot of responsibility, a responsibility that a city like Bangkok takes on board with both hands full. This city is known world wide for its hustle and bustle as one of the most densely populated cities in the world. 
  • British Airways
    • Imagine what you’ll be like at 88, or the things that you’ve achieved? Maybe a couple of appearances in Hollywood, made acquaintances with the Queen and Prime Minster, help partner successful Olympic bids; and through it all, undergo one cosmetic surgery after another.
  • Westin Grand Sukhumvit
    • The Sukhumvit area epitomises everything that is modern about Bangkok; it is a place that is the home of the city’s high rise apartments, air-conditioned shopping centres, stylish boutiques and restaurants. So it is totally fitting that the Westin Grande Sukhumvit Hotel is situated in this region of the city.
  • The Tiger Temple
    • The Tiger Temple or Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua is famed for its practice of conservation and the Buddhist culture of peace. Getting its name from the many tame Indochinese Tigers that freely roam the ground, the Tiger Temple is a popular attraction for many travellers to the country.
  • Tiger Temple / River Kwai / Kanchanaburi Provience
    • True, a great experience to be savoured at Wat Pha Luangtabua, a remote forest temple. In beautiful surroundings dedicated Buddhist monks live with numerous wild animals including 10 Tigers which they walk every afternoon.
