Edward Tuttle
Edward Tuttle – one of Architectural Digest’s “Top 100 Architects in the World” – is the original designer of The Sukhothai.

Incredibly classic was Tuttle’s finished product that The Sukhothai today is an icon among the five-star luxury hotels. This property possesses an air of timeless Thai elegance.

Sakul Intakul
Engineer turned floral artist Sakul Intakul is well known for interpreting spiritual ideas through sculptural plant installations.

Being the author of several books on flower art, Sakul also lends his talents to product design and monthly magazine columns that are, of course, all florally motivated. His coffee-table book on flower design, Tropical Colors: the art of living with tropical flowers, is an international best-seller.
