FACEBOOK: www.Facebook.com Nicholas Snow was on hand at the October 20th, 2009 press conference officially announcing the December 2009 opening of Pulay Bay, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve, in Krabi, Thailand, where he obtained this interview with General Manager Estelita Sebeta and spoke with her about her meteoric rise within The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company. Nestled on the shore of the Andaman Sea, the exclusive Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is the vision of in-demand Thai architect Lek Bunnag and features modern styling and architecture with accents of Thai culture and design. The architecture, landscape, interiors and accessories fuse to create a marriage of style and design that is completely in keeping with and tied to the natural environment of the location. Oversized beds, pillows, chairs, baths and doorways create a sense of comfort and welcoming that sets the guest at ease and welcomes them into the resort. Combining contemporary Thai styling in the buildings with preservation of the environment, the natural flora of existing trees and plants relies on the past and tradition to create something sustainable today and for the future. The use of traditional Lanna art forms both in architectural structure and design as well as paintings and artworks on the walls and doors of the villas further create a contemporary setting that draws on tradition to offer a unique and luxurious environment and further enlivens the senses.
