Thailand’s most fashionable resort is one of the stars of Snoop Lion’s latest music video for his new single ‘Torn Apart’, featuring Rita Ora.  The artist formerly known as Snoop Doggy Dogg visited the resort in Phuket whilst on holiday earlier this year and loved it so much he decided to return with a crew in tow.   In fact he loved it so much he even bought the Sri panwa t-shirt – and is wearing it in the video!

Some of the most captivating scenes are set on Sri panwa’s private beach – a rarity in Thailand – with the rooftop deck bar of Baba Nest making a real impact as they sing against a backdrop that has been hailed as officially one of the best views in the world*.  The awesome sunsets from this 360-degree vantage point have inspired some of the world’s best known DJs to play an impromptu Sunset Session set, from Boy George and Bloc Party to DJ Diplo.  Sets are only announced on the day via twitter or facebook, ensuring these intimate sets have a really special atmosphere.  The Snoop Lion crew also filmed in the pools and villas at the resort, with some of the staff making an appearance.
