I said it last week and I will confirm it again. Thailand is a veritable spectacle in every sense. And my five-day stay (courtesy of Thailand Tourism Authority) was not even long enough to explore its infinite wonders.

Lanna - 'Land of a Million Rice-fields' 


Something magical happens when travelling from Central or Southern Thailand to the north of the country. The fertile plains give way to misty mountains, the air gets fresher, the language of the inhabitants takes on a sing-song lilt, the pace of life becomes more laid-back and the curious customs of the locals generate a fascination with the culture. The combined effect of these changes is to captivate visitors to the region.

                    [Summary] => What is old is now new. 

	A renaissance of past cultures is emerging in Asia as its people are beginning to decipher meticulously devised symbols, beliefs, and practices of yesteryears. As a fascination to recreate bygone eras is explored, the frayed threads of disparate cultures are integrated into their daily lives. Whether it is a resort hotel or a spa in Surabaya, Shanghai or Chiang Mai in Thailand that we enter, we are transported to another world of such peculiar heritage.

As the ornate gates of our home away from home in Chiang Mai swung open for us on a warm summer day, I imagined myself riding a horse-drawn carriage and traveling to another place and time. Oh, my goodness! Have I just been regressed and transported back to some forgotten era? The ubiquitous golf carts waiting to bring us to our rooms (which turned out to be not just a bedroom but a whole mansion) jolted me back to reality.

The same can be said of Isadore Sharp, the founder, chairman and CEO of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. The modest 70-year-old has been called many things – a visionary, a man for all seasons, a genius – all because of establishing the biggest and most lucrative hotel brand from a small motor hotel in downtown Toronto.
