Take a bite into the Big Mango

Imagine kicking back at the Metropolitan Bangkok, temple of cool for the style set, in ultra-simple elegance of dark woods, stone and glass. Well, one lucky lady is going to do just that. Ms Indra Waty from Indonesia has won our fabulous competition with COMO Hotels and Resorts and will be spending three nights in Bangkok, treated to star Thai eats from David Thompson at nahm, and pampered with a 90-min spa sesh at COMO Shambhala Urban Escape Spa. All that plus a LUXE City Guide to Bangkok, of course, so she’ll be strolling Sukhumvit like a local and steering well clear of the tourist rubbish. Lesson one: Mah Ha Sah Han (how fabulously amazing)!

Missed out on the grand prize this time? Not to worry, we’ve got a bevy of swag and hotel goodies coming your way soon, so keep your eyes peeled on luxecityguides.com, LUXEtasy, Facebook and Twitter. Santa doesn’t just come at Christmas you know.
