In a time when travel often moves too fast for meaning, a rare offering by 137 Pillars Hotels & Resorts gently urges us to slow down and embrace Thailand’s dual identity—Chiang Mai’s soft-spoken grace and Bangkok’s glittering pulse. Welcome to the Tale of Two Thai Cities: a rich, textured escape designed for those who crave comfort and character.
It begins, fittingly, where stories tend to start best—up north, in the old soul of Thailand.
Chiang Mai, with its mossy temples and the scent of frangipani drifting through the air, feels like a city caught between centuries. And nestled quietly in one of its greenest corners is a retreat that doesn’t demand attention but earns it all the same—137 Pillars House. It’s not your usual five-star stay. This one has roots.
Built around a stately 19th-century teak homestead, the hotel carries the air of a love letter to Lanna history. Walk through the breezy courtyards or sip tea on the veranda, and you’ll feel time stretch—just a little. With just 30 suites, the space feels exclusive without ever seeming aloof. Each detail, from the soft, worn timber beneath your feet to the carefully curated artwork on the walls, whispers of the past rather than shouting about luxury.
It’s not all nostalgia, though. There’s modern indulgence tucked everywhere. A vertical garden with 20,000 living plants hugs the poolside like a scene from Eden. Inside the Nitra Serenity Centre, the spa therapists know precisely how to knead the week’s worries from your shoulders with a Thai or aromatherapy massage that doesn’t just soothe—it resets.
And when evening falls? Head to Jack Bain’s Bar, a moody hideaway with sabered champagne and stories in every bottle. Or sit down to dinner at Palette, where the plates come as beautifully composed as the art hanging beside you.
The Pulse of the Capital, Refined
If Chiang Mai is the gentle inhale, then Bangkok is the crisp exhale—bright, bold, and confident.
But even in a city that rarely sleeps, there are pockets of stillness. 137 Pillars Suites & Residences rises above the bustle, both literally and figuratively. Tucked into Sukhumvit—Bangkok’s fashion-forward district—the hotel offers a high-design haven where glass, light, and texture combine seamlessly.
Guests staying in the suites are ushered into a world of quiet perks: personal butler service, high-thread-count everything, and rooftop access to one of the tallest infinity pools in the city. And not just any pool—this one’s open 24 hours. Imagine taking in the sparkling skyline with a chilled drink while the city hums below. Those views are even sweeter from 6 to 7 pm with complimentary rooftop sundowners.
For a different mood, slip into the Bangkok Trading Post Deli & Bar for a lazy breakfast or an unhurried evening bite. Fine dining? Head up to Nimitr, where candlelight and cosmopolitan flavours collide. Or if privacy is what you’re after, arrange a rooftop dinner just for two, under the stars and above it all.
