During my two-part birthday trip to the Golden Triangle, I checked out four different hotels in Bangkok, given that it’s one of the world’s best value cities for luxury hotels, and the market keeps getting better (separately, I’m reviewing the Rosewood Bangkok, Capella Bangkok, and Aman Bangkok). In this installment, I’d like to review the 299-key Four Seasons Bangkok, which opened back in 2020. I was very excited about this stay for a few reasons: The World’s 50 Best Hotels list tends to get a lot of attention, and in 2025, the Four Seasons Bangkok was ranked the number two hotel in the world,…

Upon arrival, the F-35s were escorted by two F-16 Fighting Falcons, Poland’s current main frontline fighter aircraft. It should be noted…

Not only is this one of Bangkok’s newest luxury hotels, but it’s also arguably the city’s most anticipated luxury opening in many years.The Aman brand is very well regarded, and has no doubt evolved a lot over time.

New images of the Chinese ekranoplan show the presence of underwing weapons pylons, suggesting a strike role in addition to rapid support and resupply for amphibious operations in the South China Sea. China’s Ekranoplan, the ground effect vehicle that first broke cover in July 2025, has come into full view in new clearer images on Chinese social media, taken at an unspecified seaport.
