The Sarojin is the favorite resort of EV customers traveling in the Khao Lak region. Indeed, a chance to experience Thailand’s most celebrated luxury resorts was one of the highlights of Dobson’s trip. At Chakrabongse Villas in Bangkok, he slept in a two-story Chinese Suite offering a view of the Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn), while in Phuket, he was able to stay at the esteemed Sarojin Resort. Through the entirety of the trip, Dobson received personal service and access to exclusive experiences and amenities not available to the swarms of tourists in Thailand. He enjoyed gourmet meals served by candlelight under the stars, sumptuous spa treatments to restore body and mind at seaside boutique accommodations such as Trisara Resort and Ani Villas. That of course was just the start of Dobson’s adventure. The magic of his days would melt one into the next, culminating in an abundance of delights: A visit to the Wat Pho Temple in Bangkok, a relaxing stay in the Sarojin Resort north of Phuket, a close encounter with Thailand’s lovable pachyderms at Phang Nga Elephant Park, and of course a private boat trip to the famous James Bond Island. To launch his journey, Dobson arrived at Bangkok on July 5 th, where he was greeted by a private hostess and guide at the gate. Skipping the baggage claim lines, he received his luggage and was transferred to a private car and then to a speedboat which he took along the same Chao Phraya River which Bond himself traversed on an action-packed boat chase. Dobson’s trip was of course more relaxing, allowing him to thrill in the exquisite scenery. He then spent his first night in the historic Chakrabongse Villas, an estate quite literally fit for a prince. The theme of Dobson’s vacation was itself one of matchless luxury-to visit the locations used in the filming of the classic James Bond film, The Man with the Golden Gun, all while immersing himself in the kind of extravagant lifestyle which Bond himself enjoys in his movies. After consulting with Dobson about his vision, Exotic Voyages put together a custom tour to make his wildest dream come true. In July this year, EV invited Dobson on an all-expenses paid trip to Thailand in order to put its services to the test, “James Bond style.” Dobson has been globetrotting for more than 30 years and has visited over 80 countries, and regularly travels alongside the rich and famous-so Exotic Voyages knew that his trip would be the ultimate litmus test. Now EV is pleased to announce that Dobson has returned from his trip and has written up a review article covering his experiences in-depth on Forbes. Travel Writer Sander Groen has a stock of more than a hundred travel features, press-ready for your newspaper or magazine.Nine days and eight nights of incomparable sumptuousness and comfort. That was the promise that Exotic Voyages made to Forbes luxury travel writer Jim Dobson.
