Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Krabi
A short drive around the coast from Krabi, Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve was designed to reflect the area's Muslim history, with soaring red ochre walls, oversized keyhole doorways, candlelit reflective pools and lush gardens redolent with frangipani and jasmine. Looking across Phang Nga Bay's prehistoric landscape of rugged limestone karsts, the rambling villas come with extravagant pillared bathtubs, double-height hand-painted murals and beds so big you could roll around all night and never touch your lover. The resort's movie star good looks have earned it a number of starring roles, including the setting for the wedding in The Hangover 2. Lee Cobaj
