Set on the quiet Western side of Samui, right on Taling Ngam Beach, the newly renovated InterContinental Samui Baan Taling Ngam Resort (077-429-100, samui.intercontinental.com) has a promo running well into high season. Until Dec 22, the “City Escape” offer is B8,650 for an ocean view room with breakfast, roundtrip airport transfers, a 60-minute spa treatment for two and a Thai set dinner for two. A booking of two consecutive nights is required, though. Want to arrive in style? Pay an additional B15,000 (yes, B15,000) for a speedboat shuttle from the airport.
