Carmel Valley resident Stuart Schaffer and William Sutjiadi of 4S Ranch have brought the tastes of a well-known Japanese bakery to San Diego with Salt & Butter, serving up hot and fresh rolls, loaves, panini and sweet pastry treats.
Anantara Chiang Mai adds a luxury touch to the banks of the Ping River. Even though it has been around for 18 years, the property, formerly known as Chedi Chiang Mai, champions the time with contemporary, minimalist splendour designed by the late architect Kerry Hill. The riverfront sanctuary connects you to the true roots of the locality that was once the wood trading hub of the British Empire, whether it is the impressive teakwood exterior or the conservative colonial house that has been renovated to house a top-notch restaurant and bar, not to mention the giant tree on the lawn that has been providing shade for almost 200 years.
