Central Group and Dusit have big plans for the corner of Rama 4 and Silom. 

It follows openings in Bangkok, Hong Kong and San Francisco.

The hotel giant opens on secluded little stretch of white sand just south of bustling Patong. 

It comes with its own 20,000-sq-meter "private ocean." 

It's perfectly located near The Row, a strip of 22 1940s shop-houses that have been adapted into hip bars, cafes and galleries. 

The location is gold. 

With the holiday season in full swing, we take a look back at the year's best new hotel openings, from Chiang Mai to Phuket. 

Raining? Not a problem if you're at one of these hotels amid beautiful green surroundings. 

Take your staycation to a whole new level.
