Thailand is an amazing country, and it’s impossible to get a sense of the whole, even in repeated visits.  But it’s easy to get a sense of the place, almost immediately, and it continues to get more fascinating the more you look into it.  There is a spectacularly interesting history here, and the cultural traditions are rich and various, and speak of an ongoing dialogue with many of the cultures of the world.  There is a great art scene in some of the larger cities, and Bangkok in particular is dense with extremely creative people making new projects all the time.  It’s difficult, almost, to visit this city after years of being away, because so much changes in the course of a short amount of time, and it’s always a sign of the transitory nature of all things.

There are many different ways to see Thailand.  Luxury hotels offer a very particular view, for a very particular taste.  Offering the highest of elegance, and in Thailand this is splendid indeed, you’ll have the opportunity to be extremely pampered while spending time in one of the most lush places in the world.  The sense of splendor is found not only in the decor in the lobby and the spacious rooms, but in the food, and certainly in the hospitality.  It is very hard to imagine anyone being bored in Thailand, except, of course, you happen to be B.O.R.E.D..

This is an acronym for Band of Radical Experimental Design, and it all started in 2002.  The young artists who make up this collective were, at the time, working on graphic design projects for different clients, and all agreed that they were, indeed, bored, and could probably do better by working for themselves.  They began this spectacular organization, and have been doing their own work for a few years now.  They’ve also been on a very hot winning streak, earning some of the most prestigious awards in the world for design, video effects, adobe, as well as a host of other awards from organizations that are considered to be high water marks in the industry.  They are well on their way, indeed, proving that it can pay to be bored.  As long as you’re enormously creative, talented, and resourceful at the same time.
