Kulaypan - The City Of Inao
Situated
on Koh Samui's north Chaweng Beach, renowned as the most picturesque
in Thailand with its powder-fine white sand and crystal clear waters,
Muang Kulaypan Hotel occupies a 100-meter beach frontage, revealing
a fabulous view of the sea and offshore islands.
The design
is inspired by a tale of Indonesian folklore introduced to Thailand
during the Ayudthaya period and translated into the Thai language many
years later by King Rama II. As a matter of fact, the historic Thai
kingdom of Srivijaya was substantially influenced by the Javanese and
enjoyed their powerful sovereignty in Southern Thailand for centuries.
The Javanese tale of Inao is the legend of the romance of Prince Inao
and Princess Budsaba set in the ancient city of Muang Kulaypan where
this exotic love story unfolded.
The designer
of the hotel, profoundly inspired by the tale of Inao, has created a
unique architectural style blending Zen form with Southern Siam and
the life style reminiscent of its people. The large, central garden
lends a palatial atmosphere fitting the inspiration while terraces and
walkways are dotted with sculptures and aged bonsai trees alongside
custom furnishings designed by the architect M.L. Archava Varavana.
