SURALAI, a stunning new

Thai mythology, is now open for private rentals in the scenic northern
hills of Bophut in Koh Samui.
The private six-bedroom tropical
paradise (www.suralai.com ) is designed to accommodate parties,
families or groups of up to a dozen people, with only one rental at a
time taking over the whole mini resort.
Created by international
architects MAP Design & Planning Limited and Grebstad Hicks
Communications, a leading PR firm specialisiing in luxury hotels and
resorts, it is styled along the lines of an ultra-exclusive boutique
resort, and commands breathtaking panoramic vistas of Thailand’s
popular island destination and a myriad of palm-fringed islands to the
far horizons.
The luxury residence features an expansive

landscaped gardens. The six spacious contemporary bedrooms are all with
