Tennis courts, a spa, private balconies (taking in palm-fringed mountain views), bathtubs built for two and butler service make for a memorable guest experience, as does Saen Kham Terrace - the stunning art gallery cum restaurant next door.

...Like so many supreme expressions of showmanship, this shtick of dynamite - which Brown repeated unvaried for a half-century - was both a stunt and a metaphor. No, he wasn?t at death?s door, and yes, the imploring audience was in on the act. But who cared? It had the gaudy theatricality that would become the norm in pop culture: orchestrated hysteria that was either fake-real or real-fake.
