WEBVTT 1 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:37.720 Nestled in the foothills of northern Thailand. 2 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.480 Chiang Mai is the country's fifth largest city. 3 00:00:42.080 --> 00:00:45.320 Whilst it doesn't share the same hustle and bustle as Bangkok, 4 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:50.160 it's still a vibrant place and is often considered a sanctuary by many 5 00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:53.720 who like to avoid the capital fast paced chaos. 6 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.920 Here you'll find elephant sanctuaries, hundreds 7 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.360 of temples and monks quietly working away. 8 00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:04.920 But don't be fooled into thinking Chiang Mai is sleepy. 9 00:01:05.160 --> 00:01:06.240 Far from it. 10 00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:10.280 But there is an aura of tranquility not often found in such 11 00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:19.320 large cities. 12 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:23.120 Tucked away in 13 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:28.080 60 acres of tropical grounds and paddy fields, palace like structures 14 00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:33.080 and traditional manor style villas punctuate the estate of Dorit Davi, 15 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:38.920 a luxury five star hotel that seamlessly marries Chiang Mai's colonial past 16 00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:43.160 with cultural influences of the historic Lanna Kingdom. 17 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.920 You could be fooled into thinking you were arriving at one of the 18 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.640 grandest temples in the city. But you're not. 19 00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:52.080 It's the hotel's main entrance. 20 00:01:52.080 --> 00:01:53.960 And what an entrance it is 21 00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:05.400 almost everywhere in the grounds. 22 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:09.960 There's ponds and swimming pools to relax by with temple like structures 23 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:11.440 and statues. 24 00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:17.720 A constant nod to the city's culture. 25 00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:20.840 It was created by a Thai businessman 26 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.000 who fell in love with the northern culture 27 00:02:24.600 --> 00:02:26.720 because he's originally from the south of Thailand 28 00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:32.320 and he came up here in the late nineties, and so he wanted to create 29 00:02:32.920 --> 00:02:37.120 a little bit of the Lanna Kingdom by building this resort. 30 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.960 So when he first arrived, the only thing that was standing in 31 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.880 this area was the Thai restaurant, the Grand Lanna, 32 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.480 which he purchased from a very famous Thai architect. 33 00:02:50.880 --> 00:02:54.440 And then over the next few years, he acquired the land 34 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.880 around the Thai restaurant, 35 00:02:57.880 --> 00:02:59.920 which basically were all rice paddies. 36 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.360 So that took him quite a few years, 37 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.880 and then he decided to build the hotel 38 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.760 and he hired young Thai architects, Thai interior designers 39 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.920 who could create that vision for him. 40 00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:20.520 And the property to build took probably around about five years. 41 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.480 So piece by piece they created this masterpiece 42 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.000 and all the hotels in the world that I have. 43 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:32.000 This is the most photographed hotel that I have ever seen 44 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.040 with people coming in from outside, 45 00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:37.560 especially those who are coming from Bangkok to spend a few days in Chiang Mai. 46 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.640 And they walk through those gates, as most people do, 47 00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:49.920 and go, Wow. 48 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.920 The main entrance facade. 49 00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:55.800 If you're taking pictures from what we call the red square 50 00:03:56.040 --> 00:03:59.200 before you go up the ramps to the lobby 51 00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:01.440 and you see these beautiful 52 00:04:02.320 --> 00:04:05.000 I call them spires, but this is not a temple. 53 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.400 Some people think they're coming to a Thai temple. 54 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:10.880 It is not. 55 00:04:10.880 --> 00:04:14.000 It is Lanna Folklore. 56 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:19.280 My idea of 57 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:22.440 Lee's 58 00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:24.600 I am not. 59 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.880 Folklore, but a lot of tradition are lanterns. 60 00:04:27.880 --> 00:04:28.760 In Thailand. 61 00:04:28.760 --> 00:04:31.560 It's considered good luck if they're released into the sky. 62 00:04:31.640 --> 00:04:35.160 Taking with them worries and problems that float away. 63 00:04:35.640 --> 00:04:40.400 In Chiang Mai you'll see homes, gardens, temples and then a diary TV 64 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.680 decorated with lanterns that beautifully lit the night sky. 65 00:04:45.400 --> 00:04:47.800 The property sits on 64 acres, 66 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.440 comprising of 69 villas of different types. 67 00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:54.200 Some have a outside Jacuzzi. 68 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:55.960 Some have a plunge pool. 69 00:04:55.960 --> 00:05:00.200 Some have a small pool spread over the area. 70 00:05:00.200 --> 00:05:05.360 And then behind the main lobby area, we have what we call these 71 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:10.560 colonial suites, which are a little bit similar to Raffles Singapore. 72 00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:15.400 But the rooms are extremely large, mostly one bedroom, but the bathrooms are huge, 73 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:18.960 quite different from the villas, but it's a terrific contrast. 74 00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:22.440 Some people prefer staying in the colonial suites 75 00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:39.120 and don't like the villas and vice versa. 76 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.440 It is an Indian, but calling it as a riddle would be better 77 00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:49.440 because this was the traditional healing science that was practiced 78 00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:52.440 since ancient times to just 79 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.560 keep ourselves aligned with the nature. 80 00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.560 And when we align with the nature, we are not sick. 81 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.560 So basically they classify 82 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.000 the energies into three images 83 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.680 which we know them as water. 84 00:06:09.320 --> 00:06:13.040 That is like an energy pitta that is quiet 85 00:06:13.080 --> 00:06:15.840 energy and kava that is water energy. 86 00:06:17.080 --> 00:06:18.840 These three energies 87 00:06:18.840 --> 00:06:21.920 are acting in cycles, in nature 88 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.440 and in all human body system 89 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.240 as well, as I can say, mind and emotions. 90 00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:32.200 We are about movements, we are about forces. 91 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:34.800 So it pacifies or balances. 92 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:39.960 They can see the oil and the heat that is used with these herbal complexes. 93 00:06:40.440 --> 00:06:46.800 It helps to calm down this energy so that we experience that peace. 94 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:58.800 And I am. 95 00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:03.880 We are known as the Macaroon Kings of Thailand. 96 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.520 Our bakeshop now is turning out 25,000 macaroons a day. 97 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:14.200 We already have eight outlets in Bangkok in various major department stores. 98 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:18.960 We've just acquired an outlet at the 99 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:22.760 domestic exit at Suvarnabhumi Airport. 100 00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:25.680 So, yeah, macaroons everywhere. 101 00:07:26.640 --> 00:07:31.720 A short drive outside of the luxurious star de vie and a must see on your to do 102 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.400 list of places to visit is the Mysore Elephant Camp. 103 00:07:35.880 --> 00:07:38.400 It's a sanctuary for retired elephants. 104 00:07:38.400 --> 00:07:40.520 Here, you'll have the chance to get up close 105 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:51.440 and personal with these magnificent creatures. 106 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.360 If you want to experience the real Thailand, 107 00:07:56.440 --> 00:07:59.200 the company can head to the market. 108 00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:07.400 Here, you can sample some of the local cuisine. 109 00:08:07.400 --> 00:08:11.720 You might not recognize everything on offer, but sample as much as you can. 110 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:20.040 And be brave. 111 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.600 You are feeling a little anxious about what you might have just sampled. 112 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:40.920 Then there's plenty of shopping to take your mind off the food. 113 00:08:44.560 --> 00:08:45.960 Dotted throughout Chiang 114 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:49.560 Mai are ancient Buddhist temples and intricate statues, 115 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:55.120 some of them dating back to when the city was originally founded in 1296. 116 00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:58.680 Successive Kings wanted to leave their mark on the city, 117 00:08:58.920 --> 00:09:02.840 so Temples became their everlasting signature of choice. 118 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:06.200 There are, in fact more than 200 temples 119 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:09.000 in Chiang Mai, known locally as warts, 120 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.440 and no trip to Thailand will be complete without visiting at least a few. 121 00:09:13.800 --> 00:09:15.960 Just remember the temple etiquette. 122 00:09:16.040 --> 00:09:20.360 Take your shoes off before you enter and always back away from a Buddhist 123 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:30.440 statue rather than turn your back on it. 124 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:36.000 The Magnificent What My Heart is one of Chiang Mai's most famous temples. 125 00:09:36.280 --> 00:09:39.000 Combining Lata and Burmese style, 126 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.720 the Temple is guarded by many mythical creatures, 127 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:46.760 including two large white chins, lion like creatures 128 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:51.840 to guard the front stairs. 129 00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:56.000 The lamas style wooden panels are decorated with very detailed carvings 130 00:09:56.040 --> 00:09:59.600 of deities and flower motifs in vibrant reds 131 00:09:59.640 --> 00:10:08.240 and golds. 132 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:11.280 The growth 133 00:10:11.280 --> 00:10:15.760 in tourism over the last 25 years hasn't spoiled Chiang Mai. 134 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:21.120 It's often referred to as the rose of the North and a definite place to visit. 135 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:42.480 If you're heading to Thailand, a beautiful hilltop village 136 00:10:42.680 --> 00:10:45.720 that's so pretty and picture postcard perfect, 137 00:10:46.040 --> 00:10:49.560 it almost looks superimposed or like a film set. 138 00:10:50.800 --> 00:10:52.680 Half of the village buildings are part 139 00:10:52.680 --> 00:10:56.400 of a luxury hotel and the other half privately owned. 140 00:10:56.640 --> 00:11:08.520 Allowing tourists to ramble around the cobbled streets, 141 00:11:08.520 --> 00:11:12.440 as you'd expect, from a place so close to the glitz and glamor of Monaco, 142 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.520 the village of Eze has attracted its fair share of famous people 143 00:11:16.800 --> 00:11:21.360 and none more so than Walt Disney, who stayed here for three months. 144 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:25.720 In fact, it was Walt who recommended the owners of the Sheraton 145 00:11:25.760 --> 00:11:28.680 Hotel start buying up the private villas. 146 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:30.000 And so they did. 147 00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:34.160 Today there's 30 rooms and seven suites. 148 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.000 And because the rooms were once private villas. 149 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.840 Room service takes on a whole new meaning. 150 00:11:44.880 --> 00:11:47.160 From the beginning there was a restaurant 151 00:11:47.520 --> 00:11:51.160 and we have added rooms and it became a hotel and a restaurant chef. 152 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:54.840 Although it's a place where people come to relax and take holidays. 153 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.800 So we want a service at the same level of what? 154 00:11:57.800 --> 00:11:58.880 Of the rest. 155 00:11:58.880 --> 00:12:00.960 And this service has to come from the heart. 156 00:12:01.560 --> 00:12:03.440 It's a place where it's want to be seen. 157 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.360 You can be seen if you want to be completely on a private side, 158 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:07.280 you can join the process. 159 00:12:07.280 --> 00:12:10.880 If you want to spend four days without being seen by the stuff 160 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:12.960 you can spend for, this will be seen. 161 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.280 So it's everybody can find what he's looking for in both them. 162 00:12:16.920 --> 00:12:21.440 Located exactly eight kilometers from and eight kilometers from from Monte Carlo. 163 00:12:21.640 --> 00:12:25.200 So it's really the perfect invitation to to go to both site 164 00:12:25.520 --> 00:12:27.600 when you're right to the hotel through the gate. 165 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.640 You have all the bottom part where we have all the gardens, 166 00:12:30.640 --> 00:12:32.040 which is totally private. 167 00:12:32.040 --> 00:12:35.440 We have ten acres of gardens, plus the suites and some roofs. 168 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.040 We try and visit in this spot, 169 00:12:37.040 --> 00:12:39.960 which is completely private, accessible only to a guest of a hotel. 170 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:42.400 If you 171 00:12:42.400 --> 00:12:47.040 like your hotels on the quirky side, then the eccentricities of the chef adores. 172 00:12:47.040 --> 00:12:50.160 Gardens will appeal with the lifesize giraffes, 173 00:12:50.160 --> 00:12:53.200 elephants and terracotta warriors lining the walls 174 00:12:53.280 --> 00:12:56.280 and with most of them managing to keep hold of their heads. 175 00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:00.760 It's perhaps the flair for the unusual that appealed to Bill Clinton 176 00:13:00.760 --> 00:13:02.600 and Bono from U2. 177 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:04.440 But the celebrities such as these. 178 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:07.640 It's probably the ten hectares of private gardens 179 00:13:07.880 --> 00:13:12.720 and secluded luxury service which appeals. 180 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:15.120 But then, who wouldn't love a baby? 181 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:17.600 Elephants in their garden 182 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.680 at 1400 feet above sea level. 183 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:32.200 The views out over the Cote d'Azur, a spectacular 184 00:13:36.240 -->
