Have you been working non-stop because half of your company was laid off due to Covid-19? Haven’t had a vacation in over a year? It’s time for one, right now.

Marriott International can help you out with that. This week, the international hotel brand is launching its “Fantastic Fifty” promotion for guests who book between Sep 16-30 — up to 50-percent off at 50 Thailand hotels. Marriott Bonvoy members get an extra 2-5 percent off. If you’re not a member, don’t worry, you can click this magical link and sign up for free. It’s worth noting you only have to book before the end of the month. Your date of booking (when you actually take your much-needed vacation) can be any time from now until the end of the year — blackout dates still apply.

The scope of the venues (see the full list through the link below) covers all major destinations in Thailand, including Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, Khao Lak, Koh Samui, Hua Hin, Pattaya, Rayong, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.

Another Story is a Bangkok fashion brand that most of us have come to know pretty well over the past five years. Their collaborations and collections with some of the country’s best names in fashion and design are always a part of the news cycle. And here we are, at it again, with a new exclusive collection, this time as part of the brand’s fifth birthday celebrations. 

The collection, called the “Bangkokian” brings together a host of local and international design names to offer a range of knick knacks and attire that sums up Another Story’s ethos pretty well — motorcycle helmets, masks, prints, bags, shades, coffee mugs, shirts, hats, the whole shebang. The brands taking part include American Vintage, Coucou Suzette, Design Letters, IZIPIZI, MojiPower, The Sleeveless Garden, Monsoon Tea, Kad Kokoa, Bumshaker, Bangkok Bounce, Cosmos & Harmony, and a host of others. 

The collection itself is vast — too big to fit into a story like this — so head over to Another Story’s website for a full rundown. That said, some highlights include a swanky motorcycle helmet from Bum Shaker, special sunglasses from IZIPIZI that feature a fusion of the Thai and French flag designs, cute socks from French brand Coucou Suzette, and (our favorite) special edition prints of “The Bangkokian” — a mock-magazine designed to resemble the style of The New Yorker’s iconic covers. 

The “Bangkokian” will be available from now until Oct 31 at most Another Story locations, including the flagship store at The Emquartier, Another Mini Story at the Paragon Department Store and The Mall Lifestore Ngamwongwan.
