Thailand, located in Southeast Asia, the northernmost point borders both Laos and (Myanmar) Burma, is made up of four main regions:

North- Mountainous region which contains many ruins, temples and the old city of Chieng Mai, it is also home to ethnic groups of people whom arrived thousands of years ago and migrated from Tibet and China, these people are the hill tribes of Thailand.

North East – The least visited part of Thailand and is practically desolate.

Central – Most populated region and home to the capital city of Bangkok.

South- Stunning tropical islands including Phuket; arguably the most beautiful of the countries islands, with breathtaking beaches stretching for miles along the Peninsula. Castlewood Groups new 8over 8 Hotel will boast an enviable position on the West Coast of Phuket close to the luxury resort of Laguna and fronting the warm turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea.

Phuket is Thailand’s largest island and is mainly mountainous, from north to south it is around 30 miles (48 km) and east to west, 13 miles (21 km) it is actually about the same size as Singapore. The West coast of Phuket offers the best sandy beaches; including Patong, which is now very developed and is most popular with younger crowds due to the nightlife and cheap shopping. North of Patong are the much less developed areas sought out by couples, families and others looking for a relaxed and less crowded holiday and to experience the true beauty of Thailand.

Bangtao Beach is one such place where Hotels have been built with the landscape in mind and in keeping with the natural beauty of the island. The 8over8 hotel will be in this region and promises to offer something very different in luxury accommodation according to Castlewood Group.

Castlewood Group, a leading commercial real estate company based in Singapore, will be developing their newest hotel, 8over8. The 8over8 Hotel will be built in Phuket, Thailand, situated close to Laguna and Bang Tao Beach.
