The fifth episode sees Eric visiting the famous Sheraton Pattaya, located in the eastern Gulf of Thailand. The architecture of the Sheraton gives the resort more of a private country club feel rather than a holiday beach resort.
Sheraton Pattaya is known as one of the city's more exclusive ocean front locations, comfortably accommodating over 150 guests with a choice of standard rooms, 'pavilions' or private villas.
Eric focuses on Baan Sai Nam villa, a premium ocean-front villa and considered as the jewel of the Sheraton. This villa is split into three pavilions - the guest room, the dining and living pavilion and the master bedroom - and the hallmark of Baan Sai Nam is its restful infinity pool and private 'sala', or Thai-style gazebo for shaded and private chilling-out time in the outdoors.
Sheraton Pattaya is famed for its personal attention to each and every one of its guests, as well as the traditional bedding 'turndown' at dusk.
This week, Eric shares with us about the importance of decor accessories to anchor a particular theme. He highlights the usage of items such as porcelain vases, artwork and smaller wooden sculptures to add character and provide the design perspective of an interior.
Going regional After making his name in his homeland, Eric, who is best known for his makeover television shows such as Casa Impian and Deko Bersama Eric, is all set to conquer the regional market.
Riding on the growing popularity of the Internet in this region, Eric believes Beautiful Space will be the right platform for him to up his game. Highlighting the advanced architecture and design of Southeast Asia is his goal.
His first stop is Thailand. With the support from Tourism Authority of Thailand, Eric is adamant that the show would be a favourite among the Southeast Asians and travelers alike. He also believes that the show is a perfect platform to lend some support to the country whose image was damaged following a political turmoil recently.
