To raise funds for a local school, stylish hotel Alila Cha Am (www.alilahotels.com/chaam) is partnering with design school Raffles International College. Together, they’re hosting a gala where you can bid on one-of-a-kind dresses from the Raffle students (we saw pictures, they’re very professional), or just drink and munch on canapes. The gala on Feb 25 is B790 and all proceeds go the school. Obviously, you’re going to have to stay over, and Alila is offering excellent rates for the occasion. Rooms are at B4,000 for one night with 20% discount on spa treatments or stay two nights for B7,800 and get one set lunch or dinner for two and 50% discount on spa treatments—both deals also include a ticket to the gala.
