The New Year

Sorry not to have updated the blog for so long. The Hotel has now been opened for about 5 months and is progressing well. Despite the difficult business environment the Hotel is increasingly busy. The fact that we have a real product to sell makes a big difference.

THE GREENING OF ARIYASOM

The tropical gardens at Ariyasomvilla have taken so well and over the last three months have grown significantly - a combination of good top soil, lots of rain and sunshine have helped the gardens really establish themselves.

BIRTHDAY GIRL

The Boss celebrates her birthday at Ariyasomvilla Boutique Hotel - where else?

The Waters Edge

After a long hot day here in Bangkok we have the perfect antidote - our pool - a great setting to lie back and relax.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are also served at the pool.

Heritage House

W really have a unique product here at Ariyasom. The old house built in the early 1940's is really a very lovely piece of architecture.

All the interiors of the old house are authentic and really gives a sense of time and place - something special here in Bangkok.

Soft Opening at Ariyasom

On Saturday the 26th of July Ariyasom held a "Soft" Opening Party. Some 50 invitees enjoyed cocktails by the pool.  A Dinner was also hosted for about 20 persons and 4 rooms were occupied that night. It was all part of our run in and training schedule. We are glad to report that all went well.

We have now fixed our commercial opening for the 28th of August and should be in a position to open at least 18 of our 24 rooms - perhaps even 21. The remaining rooms will follow a week or two after that.
