Travel agents introduced to new Phuket hotel

By admin


A group of Australian agents have been introduced to COMO’s new hotel, Point Yamu, located on the east coast of Phuket in Thailand.

After a brief stopover at Metropolitan Bangkok hotel the group of travel agents enjoyed dinner at restaurant nahm before heading to the new hotel.

Located a mere twenty minutes from the airport, Point Yamu is the first hotel designed by Italian superstar Paola Navone. There are sea views from every guest room, which feature interiors that blend a Mediterranean white, blue and aqua colour scheme with bespoken Thai handcrafted fixtures and fittings.

Point Yamu further features 10 suites with their own 10m plunge pool, Italian and Thai restaurants, a 100m swimming pool, private island beach club in Phang Nga Bay and a luxurious two level Shambhala Retreat.

The group also enjoyed a visit to the beautiful Sini-Portugese streets of Old Phuket Town and a Muay Thai Kickboxing lesson.
