Trade Arabia27-02-2025

Aman Nai Lert Bangkok, a new urban sanctuary following in the footsteps of Aman Tokyo and Aman New York, will open in the Thai capital on April 2.
Located in the oasis of Nai Lert Park amid the embassies of Lumpini, the property rests in green seclusion, a haven of calm amid the leafy embrace of the privately owned park.
The 52-suite hotel will be home to an exclusive Aman Club, with its own dedicated spaces, a 1,500-sq-mAman Spa & Wellness centre and multiple dining and socialising venues alongside exceptional branded residences.
With reservations now open for stays from April 2, Aman Nai Lert Bangkok brings the brand full circle from its 1988 launch of flagship property Amanpuri in Phuket and will provide a gateway to Aman's 24 hotels and resorts in Asia.
The 36th property in the Aman collection, and its third global urban property, Aman Nai Lert Bangkok epitomises every aspect of the brand's hospitality and revered DNA of peace, privacy and unparallelled service. Chief among the tapestry of influences informing the hotel, is the historic Nai Lert Park Heritage Home, owned by the Nai Lert family, who, in addition to being Aman's partner on the project, have an unrivalled legacy in Bangkok. Over the decades the trees and gardens have grown, creating the lush oasis that is the park today, with hotel harmoniously juxtaposing old and new, within nature's timeless embrace. Perfectly placed to ensure an immersive experience of all the city has to offer, Aman Nai Lert Bangkok will provide signature experiences unveiling Bangkok's best-kept cultural and culinary secrets.
Speaking about the property Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman Group, said: 'Thailand has played a significant role in the history of our brand and the latest evolution, Aman Nai Lert Bangkok, will offer a unique connection to the rich heritage of the city. This is enhanced by our close collaboration with the Nai Lert family, in particular Naphaporn 'Lek' Bodiratnangkura who's involvement and support has ensured the property reflects the legacy of its incredible location. Further, Aman Nai Lert Bangkok represents another milestone in our long-term vision to introduce the exceptional Aman experience to urban destinations as well as providing a strategic link to our properties across Asia.'
Aman Nai Lert Bangkok will introduce Aman's trademark serenity to an area renowned for its energy. Long-time Aman collaborator, Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston architects has designed the hotel to integrate details of the century-old Nai Lert Park Heritage Home with contemporary elements. In addition, custom-made products by local artisans and antiques honour the elegance and simplicity of Aman's emblematic design ethos. Symbolic of the genesis of the hotel, a central feature is the majestic, 100-year-old Sompong tree dictating the building's root-framing courtyard and its striking elliptical void.
A contemporary urban sanctuary in a sprawling metropolis, the restaurant and gathering spaces will sit across the two distinct floors. From the ground level entrance with its carved roofline, lifts rise to the 9th floor, crowned with a light-filled central atrium and reception area. Located on the same level will be the convivial 1872 lounge bar and signature Italian restaurant, Arva. On the same floor, poolside bar, The Pool, spills onto the east-facing terrace and the hotel's infinity swimming pool overlooks the green canopy of Nai Lert Park.
On the 19th floor, exclusive to Aman Club Founders, is an open-air terrace with skyline views, as well as two restaurants, an atmospheric Aman Lounge, and Cigar Bar. In addition, Founders will also have access to the hotel's state-of-the-art wellness facilities.
The Aman Spa & Wellness, spanning two floors will house both a medical clinic, operated by renowned experts Hertitude Clinic, and an Aman Spa. The Medical Spa by Hertitude Clinic will include eight private clinic rooms, one examination room, an IV Lounge and cryotherapy chamber.
On a separate floor, the Aman Spa will offer an extensive range of hydrotherapy facilities and movement spaces. Treatments will take place across six spa therapy rooms, a dedicated Thai massage treatment room, and the unique private Banya Spa House.

Thailand Shuts Border Crossings with Cambodia Following Deadly Military Clash

Thailand has temporarily closed two of its border crossings with Cambodia to tourists, following a deadly military clash that claimed the life of a Cambodian soldier, reigniting tensions between the two Southeast Asian neighbours. The closures, which came into effect on Saturday, were implemented as a precautionary measure after the fatal incident that occurred on May 28 in the volatile "Emerald Triangle" region—where the borders of Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos converge. This area has long been a hotspot for territorial disputes, and while both countries have maintained diplomatic ties, occasional outbreaks of violence have marred their relationship. The recent clash adds to a series of skirmishes that began in 2008, which have so far resulted in at least 28 fatalities. Thai authorities said the border closure is aimed at ensuring the safety of civilians and tourists as tensions remain high. Meanwhile, officials from both nations are reportedly in communication, seeking to de-escalate the situation and avoid further conflict. Security has been tightened along the border, and the temporary closure is expected to remain in place until stability is restored.
