Just read about a new hotel opened on Koh Kood near Koh Chang. Looks like THE place to stay in the area if not the whole of Thailand, assuming of course that the minimum nightly rate of approx $600 is not a problem! Rooms/suites are huge at 3-400 sq metres plus private pool and the rate seems to include a meet and greet service at BKK aiport and private plane transfers

Looks like they have some special opening deals available if anyone is interested....

Looks fantastic....but a bit too pricey for me....unless a very special occassion.
My wife Lynda, retires next year, so.....maybe?

I'm a huge fan of the Evason/Soneva brand.

I think Hanuman mentioned that a relative of his owns Soneva Kiri. Perhaps we can the extended-Fodors family discount? ;-)

Shush..! Distant, very distant relative. They also sell homes on the island starting at US $3.5 M. That I can get you some discount.

pook talked about this place with us today... he is offering a one bedroom as a door prize at the bkk GTG...

You are mistaken my friend. I offered a door from my bedroom as a prize. Nothing more, nothing less.

My mistake - the starting price for a home is $4.5 M.
