Bangkok, 5 January 2010 - InterContinental Hua Hin played host to former world number one Maria Sharapova and Grand Slam champion Venus Williams. The tennis stars were in Thailand for an exhibition match commemorating Hua Hin City’s 100th anniversary, before heading to Hong Kong as part of their Asian tour.
The pair stayed at the newly-opened InterContinental resort and Sharapova even joined the hotel’s management team in offering alms to monks during her stay, as part as a special ‘insider experience’ organised by the resort.
Said Sharapova of her experience in making merit - an important part of the Thai culture and heritage - “I was looking forward to it. It’s a new cultural experience for me, so I practised in my room the night before to make sure that I could do it properly.”
