Chinese New Year & Valentine's Day
Getting Ready for the Next Round of Parties in Bangkok
Next up is Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day Parties, and venues are starting to sell their wares for these events. If you want luxury for Valentine's day, read on.
Now that Christmas and New Year are over, it's time for the Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day parties, when cities and resort areas will have wall to wall celebrations. I'd like to be in Chinatown Bangkok, for the Chinese New Year - lots of noise, firecrackers and red and gold decorations.
For a Valentine's treat I keep dropping hints that I'd like the package at the award winning Lebua at State Tower in Bangkok, where they promise to pamper me with pure luxury in a 66 sq.m. river view balcony suite over a 3-day stay.
Day 1 brings a bottle of Krug Grande Cuvee or Dom Perignon, served with fresh strawberries, plus romantic dinner for two (Chablis Vaudesir Grand Cru 2004 to accompany my own menu chosen in consultation with the chef).
Day 2 offers Champagne breakfast (Laurent Perrier Rose) on a boat at the break of dawn! After which we can wind down on a Klong tour, or maybe take advantage of the spa priviledge in our suite.
Day 3, breakfast in bed with Laurent Perrier Rose Champagne and Petrossian caviar. A sight-seeing tour with a picnic basket or a cooking class with the chef (no contest for me, I want to know exactly how Sirocco produces such fantastic food) and then evening cocktails at Breeze.
I just know this sort of luxury life-style is for me!
If I feel like foregoing the parties and the inevitable hangovers, then a 4-day stay at the prestigious Chiva Som Spa Resort would be the next best thing. The pampering at Chiva Som is wholesale but the alcohol content is virtually nil!
At any rate, I'm hoping my partner will read this blog and act on it - if not for Valentine's day, then another time. It's an offer too good to miss!
