Thousands of shimmering candles:Thailand – Ritz Carlton Resort

With over 1000 candles lit every night at the Ritz Carlton located on the coast of Krabi Thailand, its hard not to be mesmerized.

The process starts at 6:30 pm and takes staff 30 minutes to light each candle, where it continues to burn for 2 or 3 more hours.

“The area is designed to resemble a Thai temple and features a still pond and a domed centrepiece made of solid wood. Once they reach the canopied area, guests are provided with a welcome drink of lemongrass with ginger, cold towels and, for females, a garland of flowers. After being greeted by the manager, new arrivals are then introduced to their butler, who completes the check-in process. For all its charm (and perhaps contributing to it), the pavilion lacks the traditional desk and computer screen travellers are faced with when entering most resorts – instead guests are taken to their villa where the check-in process is completed and the holiday commences.”
