Thailand has always had the uncanny ability to strike two chords at once: the call of the jungle and the clink of crystal glasses. And if you're hesitating between the Bangkok that pulses at 200 bpm and the Chiang Mai that whispers under the foliage, 137 Pillars Hotels & Resorts takes you by the hand and offers you... both. With style. And a butler. Thanks to their Tale of Two Thai Cities - Land of the Lotus offer, you can move from one world to another without losing any of your elegance: from a rooftop suspended between sky and skyscrapers to a colonial house lost in a Garden of Eden. And this journey, dear reader, deserves more than just an Instagram post. It deserves a novel. Or, failing that, this article.
Chiang Mai: In the shadow of a glorious past
Imagine a Somerset Maugham novel dipped in fresh lemongrass. Are you there? Welcome to 137 Pillars House, Chiang Mai. A refined colonial sanctuary built around a nineteenth-century teak mansion restored with the love of an art curator... or a perfectionist monk. As you pass through the gates, the noise of the world stops. Everything here exudes calm. And ripe mangoes.
The suites (thirty of them, all as different as illustrated novels) open onto tropical gardens that would make you give up Instagram: waxed parquet flooring, vintage bath, royal mosquito netting, and that light filtered through the foliage that gives you a healthy glow without make-up.
Standing by the emerald pool, flanked by a green wall of over 20,000 plants, I almost fell asleep thinking of nothing. A rare feat. And when my hunger returned, I slipped seamlessly from The Dining Room to Palette Restaurant, ending up at Jack Bain's Bar, where a bartender poured me a champagne as if I were opening a poem (with the elegance of a duel and the timing of a haiku). Between two massages at the Nitra Serenity Centre, a stroll along the Ping River and a few incense purchases in the small artisanal shops nearby, we understand: here, luxury is not shouted. It's whispered.
Bangkok: Opulence perched between skies and horns
If Chiang Mai is a novel, 137 Pillars Suites Bangkok is a film. A long sequence of glamour and ultra-contemporary design, suspended above the hustle and bustle of Sukhumvit, a stone's throw from the temples of shopping (EmQuartier, Emporium, I saw your eyes light up). Up there, in your suite (as spacious as a small New York apartment, but with a Thai butler as discreet as a lotus flower), everything is designed to make you never want to come down: bedding that cradles you like a Thai mother, a bathtub facing the skyline, a TV set into the marble, a champagne table on request... and a 180° view over an ocean of buildings gilded by the sun.
But the real jewel is the rooftop swimming pool. An infinity pool that seems to reach into the sky, reserved for suite guests and open 24 hours a day (if you want to swim there at 3am in your dressing gown, you can). One evening, I sipped a sundowner there as the city slowly turned from blue to pink. I almost wrote a haiku. Instead, I ordered a second cocktail. Add to that the sweet treats of the Nimitr Restaurant, the mixed dishes of the Bangkok Trading Post Deli & Bar, a private transfer service and a royal spa, and you get a stay that turns every moment into a page from a luxury magazine. But without the filters. Because it's all real.

More alive.
