Head to Hua Hin for a Fresh Take on Corporate Meetings in Thailand

Where do you vacation when you live in paradise already? Home to gorgeous beaches, vibrant cities and lush rainforests, Thailand is world-renowned as a vacation destination, as famous for its natural beauty as for the kindness of its people; the country is known as the Land of Smiles for a reason. So where do Thai people vacation? The secret sits tucked along the western coast of the Gulf of Thailand, only 125 miles southwest of Bangkok: Hua Hin, alongside a slice of coastline nicknamed the Thai Riviera. Located in Prachuap Khiri Khan province, the city is situated in the northern Malay Peninsula, overlooking the Gulf of Thailand.

Parkhotel Oberhausen Review

Oberhausen, on the Ruhr River at the outskirts of Essen, is not merely a city transformed — it is wholly repurposed. In the late 19th and 20th centuries, its main industries were coal mining, iron and steel production, and manufacturing. Today, it is defined by its intentional evolutionary path toward a green, 21st-century city tailored for a healthier and more outdoorsy standard of living. What makes it a particularly compelling choice for a meeting or conference destination is it doesn’t hide its past. Instead, it shows how a municipality can use what’s there to move toward a more environmentally sound future.

Malta’s Sun-Soaked Harbors, Soulful Cuisine Captivate the Young and Young at Heart

Malta cast its spell before I even set foot on shore. From the deck of my cruise ship, I watched Valletta’s fortified limestone walls emerge from the sea, glowing gold against the blue. But no matter how you get there, Malta beguiles once you arrive. And beyond its Baroque architecture and complex history, this archipelago between Sicily and the North African coast has a lot to offer business travelers and their companions, both during working hours and downtime.
