About Marianne
Marianne has a background of 30 years in the New Zealand travel industry covering all facets of travel from leisure and corporate consultancy to sales and marketing.

In 2005 Marianne was first invited as a buyer to Bangkok to attend the Thailand Tourism Mart as a guest of the Tourism Authority of Thailand. And so began her love affair with Thailand! Subsequent trips to Thailand were then to inspect and hand-pick properties for her newly established Classic Asia programme. By dealing directly with these properties, Classic Asia maintains a close working relationship with resort Management, ensuring the best of care for their valued clients. In order to maintain the high level of service required, Classic Asia has concentrated solely on the luxury market recognising that the attention to detail, superb service, and stunning beauty of the resorts and Health Spas all combine to provide a perfect holiday environment. To this end we have gathered spa menus and other relevant information to help you make the best possible choice for your holiday.

"I look forward to sharing my knowledge of this destination where tradition and history stand comfortably alongside the vibrancy of the modern world with grace and ease, complimented by the country's greatest asset - The Thai people themselves - whose beauty, serenity and wonderful sense of fun all make for an unforgettable holiday experience".
Marianne Mannering | Director | Classic Asia Limited
