Thai mythology, is now open for private rentals in the scenic northern
hills of Bophut in Koh Samui.

paradise (www.suralai.com ) is designed to accommodate parties, families
or groups of up to a dozen people, with only one rental at a time
taking over the whole mini resort.
Created by international
architects MAP Design & Planning Limited and Grebstad Hicks

resorts, it is styled along the lines of an ultra-exclusive boutique
resort, and commands breathtaking panoramic vistas of Thailand’s popular
island destination and a myriad of palm-fringed islands to the far
horizons.

20-metre infinity swimming pool, private gym and lush landscaped
gardens. The six spacious contemporary bedrooms are all with elegant en

manager and housekeepers, with continental or full international-style

served daily.
The residence also comes with a private chef,
skilled at both Thai and western cuisine, and an optional driver for

eclectic nightlife and popular tourist spots.
For guests who
prefer to arrange their own catering, a shopping list is sent well ahead
of their arrival for pre-ordering groceries and drinks.

guests use. For home entertainment, the house is equipped with a state
