The post Giveaway : win a luxury hot chocolate hamper appeared first on The Expater.

Yearning to travel? So are we. So to get a little head start to the new year and perhaps allowing ourselves to dream a little, we've found our minds wandering to Krabi, where it's not so far that it'll require too many hours in the air, and yet also remote enough for us to get away from it all.

Krabi, on southern Thailand's west coast, is a province with the most stunning natural scenery, home to a jungle and over 200 islands, such as like Phi Phi Islands and Ao Nang, where one can find some of the most popular and gorgeous beach destinations.

Koh Lanta is slightly lesser known, and little has changed since the Thai island opened its door to international guests three decades ago. Its beaches are still pristine, sprawling beneath rainforest canopies, and the calls of wild macaques still echo through the dense mangroves just a stone's throw away from the shore shoals were tropical fish reside amongst the coral reefs.

If you want to connect with nature in a slice of paradise that has yet to be havocked by the human touch and is still far away enough from the maddening crowds, then the laid-back Koh Lanta might be worth checking out.

What to Do on Koh Lanta, Krabi

There's an abundance of beaches, from the golden sands at Long Beach (Pra-Ae) to smaller bays like Relax Bay and Lanta Secret Beach. On the southern end, where it's even quieter and more beautiful, you'll find the legendary Kantian Bay, Waterfall Bay (Ao Kong Jark) and Bamboo Bay (Ao Mai Pai).

The historic Lanta Old Town is also worth a visit if you would like a break from the beaches. The quiet town is distinct for its teak-coloured stilted houses that overlook the sea.

Krabi is home to over 200 islands, and there are many nearby islands to Koh Lanta that are worth exploring. Rent a boat and a guide, and spend the day island hopping and admiring the majestic limestone cliffs. The Emerald Cave is worth stopping by, named for the glittering emerald green pools of water.

Staying at the Pimalai Resort & Spa

Make Kantiang beach's pure white sands and surrounding lush jungle the view you wake up to each morning when you stay at the Pimalai Resort & Spa. The award-winning property is at the very southern end of the island, but has everything you need at the tip of your fingers.

You could spend your mornings lazing on your sun bed on what feels like a private beach, or scuba dive in the cerulean seas, admire the thriving coral reefs and spotting clownfish. Rejuvenate yourself at the signature Pimalai Spa is where you'd want to unwind. For the more athletically inclined, traditional Muay Thai and tennis classes are also offered. In the evenings, go on a sunset cruise, you'll never catch the same sunset twice. Pimalai is also home to some of the best eateries on the island, with Rak Talay serving Thai-style seafood (and a sunset show) or Seven Seas, which serves Michelin-chef-conceived dishes.

There are 121 rooms at Pimalai, but you'd never really feel the presence of other guests as every room is given its own private surroundings, with the Hillside Ocean Pool Villas commanding vistas of the stunning scenery straight from your own private pool.

The Pimalai Resort & Spa is offering a two-night stay at the Hillside Ocean View Pool Villa for two person, with daily breakfast and a round-trip transfer from Krabi Airport. The prize voucher is valued at approximately USD3,500. To enter our giveaway, head over to our Instagram and follow the instructions.

Fifty metres underground — this is the depth that local winemakers chose when they decided to store 10,000 wine bottles in the Aven d'Orgnac caves, an underground tourist attraction located at the southern end of the limestone plateau of the Gorges de l'Ardèche.

The experiment began in March 2018, when a new storage facility was specially created in a disused access tunnel to allow wine to mature in what amounts to a highly stable and peaceful environment.

A living product that ages best in undisturbed darkness, the wine will have benefited from ideal conditions: A constant temperature of around 12°C and an all-year-long rate of humidity of over 95%.

On December 12, 1,000 bottles of Côtes du Vivarais "Grand Aven 2017" from this treasure trove will be passed from hand to hand by a chain of human volunteers who will bring them back to the surface after two years underground. Thereafter, they will go under the hammer with a range of other local vintages in an auction with modest reserve prices.

Lots on offer will include 150 magnums of Terra Helvorum 2017 starting at 30 euros, 350 bottles of 2015 Terra Helvorum for as little as 15 euros and 350 bottles of Grand Aven 2016 from just 10 euros.

On land and sea

These days, experiments to store wine deep underground are very much in vogue in France. On June 3 of this year, 500 bottles were placed in racks at a depth of 103 metres in caves in Padirac under the watchful eye of Serge Dubs, the Best Sommelier of the World in 1989.

The first of these to return to the surface will be brought up for an initial tasting in the spring of 2021. And let's not forget that this experiment is focused on a very particular wine: A Clos Triguedina Cahors, christened Cuvée Probus, which has been produced to honour the 130-year anniversary of the Padirac Chasm.

Surprisingly enough, this new approach to maturing wine was initially inspired by a find at sea. In 2010, divers in the Baltic discovered a wreck containing what turned out to be a cargo of champagne, which was probably on its way to 1840s Russia.

The wave of experimentation that is now ongoing began when the bubbly, which was made by such houses as Veuve Clicquot, Heidsieck and the now defunct Juglar, was discovered to still be delicious after some 170 years under water.

In Saint-Jean-de-Luz in the French Basque country, winemaker Emmanuel Poirmeur has registered a patent for a process that involves vinifying wine in special vats at a depth of 15 metres under water. For its part, Leclerc-Briant set a record when it vinified one of its champagnes at a depth of 60 meters under the Atlantic in 2012, not surprisingly the vintage was christened "Abyss."

The post Prestige’s Christmas Giveaway: Advent Calendar 2019 appeared first on Prestige Online - Hong Kong.

Though summer is typically thought of as a relaxing season, let's face it: We could all use a bit more time to rest and recharge. So what better way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city than a mini vacation? We’ve partnered with The Langham, Hong Kong to bring Prestige readers a staycation that you won’t want to miss out on.

There's also the highly exclusive Langham Club, where guests can have a private check-in and check-out experience in The Ante Room, various F&B offerings through their Butler’s Pantry, as well as complimentary garment pressing services.

Exclusively for Prestige readers, one (1) lucky winner will receive a two (2) night stay in a luxurious one-bedroom suite at The Langham in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, along with Langham Club Access, and a set lunch for two (2) at Cantonese restaurant T’ang Court.
