Five great long, glorious weekend stays for May’s long weekends

After a busy Songkran, the first we’ve been able to spend with family and friends for a few years, it’s time to have a little ‘me’ or ‘us’ time and take advantage of the plethora of extended weekends in May. It’s a wonderful time to enjoy a short getaway and remember the joys of travelling in Thailand.

Whether it’s heading to the islands to catch some sea breezes and enjoy great seafood, or heading to the beach to be pampered and escape the city, InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has the right blend of destinations and activities to hit the spot and give you a long, glorious weekend that you’ll remember for a while.

Kimpton Kitalay Samui

One of Thailand’s current ‘talk of the town’ destinations, isn’t it about time you visited and discovered what you’ve been missing? The Kimpton Kitalay Samui epitomises island living and will help you reconnect with the past, as the resort conjures the romance of a village intimately connected to the sea. Villas seem to be connected to the sea, but remain intimate and private, while restaurants turn island dining into the epicenter of every visit. From the signature FishHouse beachside restaurant to the BoHo Thai lifestyle café, quality dining and drinking experiences won’t easily be forgotten at the Kimpton Kitalay Samui.
