As the sun sets on another summer at @myconiandeos, the final Champagne is being poured, the last lobster linguine is being served and the Moke buggies are being polished and put away for another season. We’re already counting down the days to reopening 🇬🇷

Ever wondered what inspires a hotel designer when they’re at home? Last month, The Set Society stepped inside Bill Bensley’s Bangkok home, where gardens, art and collected treasures offered a glimpse into his imagination. Looking around, it was easy to recognise the creative spirit that runs through Shinta Mani Angkor. Shinta Mani Angkor is part of The Set DISCOVERY. Members can redeem their DISCOVERY Dollars (D$) towards stays, dining, spa treatments and step inside the whimsical world of Bill Bensley whilst doing so. #CuratedByTheSet #TheSet #ShintaManiAngkor #SiemReap #TheSetDISCOVERY @ghadiscovery Image credits: Michael Paul (Tatler Asia), Architectural Digest and Shinta Mani Angkor

Cocktails, canapés and a sense of curiosity. For The Set Society’s first international event, guests stepped into Bill Bensley’s wonderfully whimsical home, Baan Botanica in Bangkok. In conversation with Uwern Jong, co-founder and editor-in-chief of @outtheremag, Bill discussed creativity, projects with purpose and why tourism can and should remain a force for good. A magical evening celebrating imagination, connection and the art of doing things differently. #TheSetSociety #TheSet #BillBensley #Bangkok #CuratedByTheSet
