The Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa” is a beautiful accommodation choice with plenty of picturesque photo spots and incredibly delicious food. We cannot stress enough how amazing it is! This Phuket trip for us is all about relaxation and comfort. We’re not looking for intense sightseeing; we just want a tranquil and serene stay. Being situated in the renowned White Sand Zone, known for its private beaches, the Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa perfectly meets our needs in this regard.

The Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa” is a luxurious 5-star resort located right along the shores of Mai Khao Beach. The resort features a long, stretched layout from the front lobby area all the way to the sea.

Anyone staying here must capture this angle: the lobby area designed to be spacious, cool, and refreshing with views of coconut trees and tropical vegetation. It’s designed to seamlessly blend luxury and accessibility to nature. The Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa has an iconic feature for us: the roof. The roof design is incredibly unique, resembling the shell of a turtle. It perfectly conveys the harmonious atmosphere of relaxation with nature.

Another highlight of this place is the Quan Spa. Anyone staying at the Renaissance Phuket must visit this spa and take a photo here. I guarantee you’ll get some stunning shots. The atmosphere inside the spa is serene and tranquil, with the soothing sounds of the wind and flowing water. It’s incredibly relaxing.

The accommodation options at the Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa include both rooms within the main building and villas. This is a Pool Villa, specifically a Garden View one, which stands out for its exceptionally private atmosphere.

The Lagoon View rooms are located in the building close to the lobby. This area features a highlight: the wooden bridge that stretches over the lagoon, allowing guests to stroll among tropical foliage.

Rooms in this building also include Deluxe Lagoon View accommodations.

Another room option is the Deluxe One Bedroom Suite. The mood and tone of decoration will be similar across the different room types, but the difference lies in the size and functionality of the room.

Sand Box Restaurant and Bar offers a cool and chic beachfront bar atmosphere. They’ve brought a tropical bar style right onto the sandy beach. You can enjoy refreshing drinks like fruit juices, beer, or cocktails while soaking up the breeze. You can either sip by the bar or order and enjoy your drinks by the poolside.

The resort’s swimming pool is located right by the beach, with Jacuzzis included. It’s conveniently situated close to the dining area and bar. Expect some hustle and bustle around the pool area. If you prefer a more private swimming experience, the pool villas are the perfect choice. Alternatively, you may want to swim in the morning when the crowd is thinner.

When you arrive at the Renaissance Phuket, one thing you shouldn’t miss is dining at the Ta-Kieng restaurant. The food here is so delicious that you won’t be able to resist. The Thai flavors are well-balanced, and the prices are reasonable considering the quality of the food and taste. The restaurant tends to be crowded, so I recommend making a reservation in advance.

You can order cocktails at the Sand Box and bring them up to the dining area because we’re having dinner here.

Hors d’oeuvre

These days, Khao Lak is perfect for surfing enthusiasts. The windy waves attract surfers to hit the beach and Memory Beach is likely the most popular spot where surfers gather to catch waves. Moreover, this beach is incredibly wide and long, so even if you’re not surfing, you can still come to relax by the sea, sip a drink, and chill out. The sunset here is also one of the most beautiful sights in Khao Lak.

Our accommodation is at Hotel Gahn, a newly opened hotel just 10 minutes away from Memories Beach. It’s actually quite close, but the route from the main road to the beach is a bit winding and bumpy, so you can’t go too fast. However, the atmosphere along the way has its own charm. And here we are, at Hotel Gahn, our super cool accommodation for tonight.

Hotel Gahn is named after “กาล” which means time in Thai. Its exterior decoration stands out from the stylish entrance arches to the cozy interior that impresses us with warmth, charm, and accessibility. Here, it gathers stories and memories of the past era of Phang Nga and the Baba culture, conveyed through unique decorations and designs that evoke a nostalgic atmosphere. Whether it’s the large wooden table in the lobby or the curved doorway leading through the arches, the ambiance of Hotel Gahn reminds us of visiting elderly relatives and encountering a warm welcome.

The curved door arches are another standout feature of Hotel Gahn that we really admire.

Hotel Gahn is a compact accommodation with a modest number of rooms, but it provides sufficient amenities for a comfortable stay. Additionally, there is a swimming pool available, and it’s conveniently located close to the dining area.

You can come and relax with a cup of coffee. There are charming corners where you can sit and unwind.

Let’s take a look at your room! You’re staying in a Deluxe room with a bathtub, offering a comfortable and soft bed. Despite not being in a tall building, there’s an elevator available, making it very convenient for elderly guests.

Another room also features a bathtub and similar decoration. However, the layout differs slightly, with the bathtubs positioned in opposite corners. Therefore, the Deluxe with Bathtub rooms are separated into Type A and Type B.

Come on! When in Phang Nga, you must try the local cuisine, with delicious flavors crafted by the hotel owner’s expertise.

For breakfast, we have a nostalgic concept that we really love. It brings back memories of our childhood breakfasts, with dishes like grilled rice, congee, stir-fried noodles, and similar items.

The charm of Hotel Gahn evokes moments and fond memories, prompting us to reminisce about the good times and inviting us to keep on reminiscing.

Heading north to explore Chiang Mai, one must experience the serene beauty of “Yaang Come Village.” This accommodation, situated just a stone’s throw away from the city center, offers a luxurious interpretation of Thai Lanna style, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the essence of this unique culture. The resort’s concept, “Back to Basic for simple life,” recreates the living environment of Lanna people, showcasing traditional homes and dwellings. Nestled beneath the shade of large rubber trees, which serve as an emblem of the resort, and amidst well-maintained lush gardens, the accommodations offer a tranquil retreat. With just the first step into “Yaang Come Village,” guests are immediately captivated by the distinctive charm of this place.

“Yaang Come Village” greets visitors with a traditional Lanna-style lobby, nestled beneath the shade of ancient, grand rubber trees, providing a cool and comfortable ambiance. The lobby is adorned with vibrant colors and lamps, inspired by Lanna art, and is further decorated with seasonal embellishments or for special guests’ visits, reflecting the northern festive spirit.

Your staff members are beautifully dressed, in traditional Lanna-style attire. I would love to dress up in such gorgeous outfits. Do you provide rental services for these costumes for photoshoots within the resort?

Next to the lobby is the swimming pool, located right in the heart of the resort. The pool features a Jacuzzi zone as well, offering a complete relaxation experience.

“Yaang Come Village” offers accommodations that reflect the lifestyle of Lanna people through wall paintings. Each room features different artworks, and the decorative textiles complement the atmosphere beautifully. This is the Family Room, accommodating up to 4 guests with twin and double beds, making it a great value and comfortable option for families. It’s worth mentioning that this room is highly popular at the resort as it perfectly caters to family stays.

The Deluxe Room boasts exquisite details, starting from the high wooden ceiling with intricate designs reminiscent of ancient architecture. The luxurious bathroom features a separate bathtub and rain shower, offering a touch of elegance. What we particularly love is the wide, tall glass windows that stretch from floor to ceiling, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the lush greenery outside.

As for the starting room category, it would be the Superior Room. The decor is similar to the other room types, but these are the smallest in size, typically around 38 square meters, which is still spacious compared to the general standard of Superior rooms elsewhere. Although these rooms may not include a bathtub, they come with all the standard amenities and conveniences expected at Yaang Come, ensuring a comfortable stay.

For today, we are staying in the most beautiful room at the resort, the Junior Suite. Stepping into this room feels like stepping back in time to the ancient Northern Thai era. The bed is the highlight, incredibly comfortable and inviting. The room is spacious, with clear separation of functions, providing everything you need for a relaxing stay. Importantly, the bathroom is also spacious and includes a Jacuzzi bathtub. This room has two balconies, perfect for lounging, reading a book, enjoying a cup of tea, or admiring the view while listening to the morning birdsong—a true slow life experience that is hard to find elsewhere. This is why Yaang Come Village is truly exceptional.

What I particularly like is the room key. It may be heavy to carry around, but it’s beautiful. It bears the imprint of a hornbill, which seems to be the symbol of the resort. Perhaps it’s because the resort draws inspiration from Lanna art, which is characteristic of the Twelve-Song District. This region seems to have hornbills as its emblem, as one can see images of hornbills scattered throughout the resort.

The restaurant at Yaang Come Village is absolutely delicious. Once you arrive, you can order without hesitation. They serve authentic Thai cuisine that truly satisfies the Thai palate. The restaurant is located near the swimming pool. I highly recommend the Tom Yum Goong; it’s so good that it will make you slurp. Also, the Yan Kam fried rice, which is the restaurant’s signature dish, is incredibly tasty. You must try both of these dishes.

The atmosphere at the resort during the evening is simply stunning.

The breakfast is served buffet-style.

This is so delicious! The homemade chocolate brownie, a specialty of Yan Kam Village, is incredible. It’s soft, light, not overly sweet, with a rich chocolate aroma. I could have several pieces of it!

I want to experience the charm of Chiang Mai, located in the heart of the city, surrounded by charming cafes, restaurants, Wat Phra Singh, and the old city area of Chiang Mai, close to the nightlife at Night Bazaar. I highly recommend “Yaang Come Village Chiang Mai”

Our exclusive accommodation today is the renowned luxury hotel brand ‘InterContinental Pattaya Resort,’ situated in the area of Khao Phra Tamnak. Despite its slightly secluded location, this is its selling point. Khao Phra Tamnak offers a stunning view of Pattaya, and the InterContinental Pattaya Resort maintains its reputation as a 5-star hotel that prioritizes privacy, service, and consistently impressive standards, making it a destination worth revisiting time and again.

Staying at the “InterContinental Pattaya Resort” for the ultimate experience, I highly recommend booking a Club room which includes Club Lounge Access. It’s incredibly worthwhile and enjoyable, let me tell you why. From the moment you check-in, you’ll receive personalized service. You can even check-in at the lounge itself. The lounge is delightful, with plenty of snacks and beverages available. It’s a fantastic way to start your stay.

With this Afternoon Tea set for two, you’ll get to choose your beverages from options like hot chocolate, iced coffee, or iced tea. It comes with a variety of sweet treats including crème brulee, cakes, sandwiches, scones, and more. Everything is delicious, including the Thai desserts. You’ll definitely feel satisfied with this set.

Oh, the ice cream is delicious!

Please provide a picture of the lobby. It’s open-air with a comfortable cool breeze and a view of the sea.

Our accommodation is the Club InterContinental Panoramic Ocean View Terrace Suite, spanning 77 square meters. It features a terrace pavilion for enjoying the sea view. This aspect exudes luxury and classic charm. Inside, the room is elegantly designed with warm tones, inviting for relaxation. The bed is incredibly soft and comfortable. There’s also a bathtub available, stocked with Harnn bath products including soaps and shampoos. The sink area is divided into his and her sections, making it convenient for couples to use together without crowding. Overall, it’s a cozy and romantic setup, allowing for simultaneous activities like face washing, tooth brushing, and hair drying without bumping elbows.

The rooms without Club Lounge access are also classic and equally popular. They are further categorized into subtypes such as Garden View, Sea View, or Pool Access. The decoration remains consistent across these types, with the main difference lying in the view. For instance, this particular room is classic with a sea view. Inside, it features a bathtub and a balcony for enjoying the view. The decor adheres to a classic style, well-known for its timeless elegance.

The facilities are extensive, indeed. For instance, there are multiple swimming pools available, providing guests with various options to enjoy.

The hotel doesn’t have its own beach, but it compensates for this by creating its own artificial beach. I must say, they’ve done a fantastic job! The sand is even finer and whiter than natural sand, making it incredibly inviting for guests to enjoy and play on.

The hotel boasts numerous photo spots, perfect for those who aren’t particularly keen on sunbathing or swimming but still want to have fun.

Or, you can head to the spa, which is absolutely fantastic! It’s incredibly relaxing and guaranteed to leave you feeling very happy.

For dinner, you don’t need to go far to find some excellent options. Infiniti Restaurant, located nearby, offers delicious dining options right at your fingertips.

The restaurant serves Italian fusion cuisine, and for your recommended menu, let’s start with the Spicy Seafood Broth. It’s a slightly spicy seafood soup served with garlic bread. Thai people would likely enjoy this dish as the broth is rich and flavorful without being overwhelmingly spicy. It’s comforting and absolutely delicious.

This one is a highlight: Seared Sea Scallops. These scallops are incredibly sweet, succulent, and beautifully seared. They’re served with a sauce made from apple, miso, and a kale salad on the side. It’s a delightful combination of flavors and textures that you won’t want to miss.

There are actually two types of spaghetti available. One is Spaghetti with Clams, featuring fresh clams, while the other is Spaghetti with Garlic Chili Sauce and Crab Meat. These dishes cater to those who enjoy moderately spicy and flavorful food like yourself.

And here’s our favorite main dish: a Seafood Platter with everything fresh from the sea. The spicy dipping sauce complements the seafood perfectly. Typically, when ordering a Seafood Platter elsewhere, I usually avoid eating the seabass because it tends to taste fishy. However, here, I practically finish the entire plate by myself. The seabass tastes incredibly fresh, as if it were just caught. The shrimp, lobster, squid, and mussels are all equally fresh and delicious. But I have to say, the seabass here is top-notch!

During the evening cocktails from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, there will be a selection of snacks and alcoholic beverages served for you to enjoy.

The dining experience isn’t over yet! In the morning, you’ll be treated to a buffet-style breakfast at The Line, featuring a wide variety of international cuisines. The seating options include indoor and outdoor zones, with the outdoor area offering a lovely atmosphere and a view of the sea.

Ending our review with another round of food! This promotion is incredibly worthwhile. It’s a Thai lunch buffet priced at just 499 baht net per person, available every Sunday to Thursday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the Elements restaurant. Don’t miss out on this great deal!

This trip, we’ll go swimming on the rooftop, sip on cool cocktails, and relax comfortably at the brand new T Pattaya Hotel, featuring sleek design and centrally located in the heart of Pattaya city.

T Pattaya Hotel isn’t just a hotel; it’s an outlet that we believe will appeal greatly to the younger generation. Whether it’s the contemporary Industrial Factory Loft-style design or the facilities tailored for color enthusiasts, coupled with the vibrant city of Pattaya, starting from the cool lobby that screams relaxation.

The Bunny Beat Lobby Bar, with its vibrant design and colors, is a fun and lively spot not to be missed. With bunny mascots adorning the hotel, it’s something that speaks volumes about T Pattaya Hotel, a place filled with vitality and joy, just like those little bunnies.

The rooftop bar, T61 Sky Bar, is another highlight of this place. With clear views of Pattaya city, especially during the Pattaya Fireworks Festival, the rooftop here becomes another popular spot for fireworks viewing.

You can order food and drinks to enjoy here or opt for take-away. The menu offers a wide variety of options, including Thai and Italian cuisine, all deliciously prepared. Personally, I’m quite fond of their carbonara, and their Tom Yum Goong has that authentic Thai flavor.

This room is a luxurious suite that offers excellent value for its size, up to 69 square meters. It includes a bedroom, bathroom, a living area with a TV, a kitchenette, and a separate dining area. Rest assured, the bed is incredibly soft and comfortable, complete with high-quality bedding, pillows, blankets, and fine linens that you might want to purchase for your home.

The Family Suite Room accommodates up to 4 guests and comes with comprehensive standard amenities.

The Superior Room is a starter accommodation with a space of 26 square meters.

For additional amenities, there is a variety to support different lifestyles.

This accommodation is the most enjoyable in Khlong Wan, to the point where we have to come back again. ‘AT T Boutique Hotel’ is a lovely hotel with a tranquil atmosphere, located by the sea with mountain views. You can see the fish bridge. They also recharge your batteries every time you come.

Located in Tambon Khlong Wan, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, it’s about a 4-hour drive from Bangkok. For those who want to change the atmosphere from Hua Hin or Pranburi, try visiting Khlong Wan. You’ll have a peaceful day off with a simple charm unlike any other. Whether it’s the quiet community, cute little shops selling local goods, the sea, waves, wind, or sandy beaches, all without having to compete with anyone. Plus, ‘AT T Boutique Hotel’ provides bicycles for guests to ride around. Even a short ride to the fish bridge yields many beautiful photo opportunities.

Take a break before checking in, especially after a tiring journey. Enjoy a cup of coffee or a refreshing cold drink to rejuvenate. The logo of this place is a whale fin, which is incorporated into the resort’s decoration at various points.

This spot has such great airflow. This corner daybed is incredibly comfortable. The back faces a lush garden while the front overlooks the sea.

The highlight of ‘AT T Boutique Hotel’ is the Seaview Suite room. What makes it special is the bathtub on the balcony, offering unobstructed views. The bathtub is a large Jacuzzi that can accommodate up to 2 people.

The interior of the room is equally comfortable, with its spaciousness, brightness, and separate areas for lounging and relaxation. The bathroom and bed are meticulously arranged. It feels like staying in a private beachfront villa.

As for other room types, there is the Deluxe room, which is the entry-level option. With a room size of approximately 42 square meters, it is considered spacious for a Deluxe room. You can choose between twin beds or a double bed. The interior is themed similarly to the suite rooms.

The Family room is perfect for families as it features 1 large bed and 2 bunk beds for children.

Another thing that I love about AT T Boutique Hotel is the incredibly spacious balcony.

Evening atmosphere at AT T Boutique Hotel is so chill. The cool breeze is so comfortable. They’ve recently built a bridge that extends into the sea. Sitting by the bridge, enjoying the view, and listening to the sound of the waves bring utmost happiness.

Visiting Khlong Wan, you don’t need to search for dinner anywhere else. The best place is @T Terrace Restaurant and Bar. It has a great atmosphere, delicious food, and high-quality ingredients. The portions are generous too.

Evening atmosphere at the accommodation is…

Here, there’s a fitness center facing the sea. You can do some light exercises in the morning and then go for a swim afterward.

The breakfast here offers a variety of options including Thai, Chinese, and Western cuisines, along with pastries.

“AT T Boutique Hotel, a regular accommodation choice in Whale Canal, never fails to create wonderful memories every time you visit.

Explore Kanchanaburi, sleep by the river, and have the happiest time at the newly opened ‘Erachon Raft Resort’ located near the Erawan Waterfall. Conveniently situated right by the river, and to top it off, you can catch the morning mist. ‘Erachon Raft Resort’ offers accommodation in two zones: the raft zone and the building zone.

At ‘Erachon Raft Resort,’ you’ll be surrounded by a relaxing atmosphere filled with the tranquility of nature, allowing you to fully recharge. The modernly decorated accommodations in the building zone are complemented by a spacious swimming pool, designed to cater to family vacations, romantic getaways, and even elderly guests.

The accommodation also features an elevator for added convenience.

The River View Room located in the main building or the Standard Room both offer views of the river. The interior is decorated in clean and inviting white tones, with spacious balconies.

This room is the VIP Room. Its highlight is the large bathtub where you can soak while enjoying the view, making your stay truly delightful.

Staying by the riverside is a dream for many travelers, isn’t it? We’re no exception! The accommodations in the river zone of this place are indeed very inviting, with beautiful views and a serene atmosphere.

In front of the room, there will be a mesh net porch where you can relax and enjoy the cool breeze. It’s very refreshing! Rooms in the river zone are the best spot to get close to the morning mist. In the early morning, you’ll see water vapor rising from the river.

Above, there is a grass-covered rooftop deck for chilling out and enjoying the view. There are also daybed chairs provided for your comfort.

At ‘Erachon Raft Resort,’ one of the most enjoyable activities is kayaking along the Erawan River. It’s a pity that during our visit the water may be murkier than expected due to the beginning of rain. However, if you wait a bit longer, perhaps until November, or December, the water will clear up to a deep greenish-blue tone. This is considered the highlight season at ‘Erachon Raft Resort’.

On this trip to Chiang Mai, we have a wonderful accommodation that we’d love to share with our friends because we enjoyed it so much. That is the “RatiLanna Riverside Spa Resort, Chiang Mai,” a 5-star hotel that has been consecutively awarded by the Thailand Tourism Awards for 5 years. The hotel is situated along the Ping River, just 5 kilometers away from the airport, in the heart of Chiang Mai city. It is a resort filled with the rich history and intricate art of the Lanna culture, beautifully portraying the riverside way of life. With its contemporary luxury and 5-star service, our stay at the “RatiLanna Riverside Spa Resort, Chiang Mai” was truly exceptional and special.

The timeless design and concept of “Putahracsa Hua Hin Resort” ensure that no matter how much time passes, it remains appealing. We adore the ambiance and the incredibly warm hospitality. Every time we indulge in the Southern cuisine and bakery treats from “Warm Oven Café,” we are thoroughly pleased. Please savor a refreshing cocktail while admiring the sea at the “Oceanside Beach Club & Restaurant.” A stay at “Putahracsa Hua Hin Resort” guarantees another wonderful day of relaxation that we highly recommend experiencing.

“Putahracsa Hua Hin Resort” is located right in the heart of Hua Hin, making it truly a prime area. It’s considered the true hot spot of Hua Hin—quiet, private, and right by the sea, with plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. Despite all these conveniences, it still retains the classic charm of Hua Hin. The accommodation has two zones: Beachside, which is right by the sea and has a chill, beachy vibe, and the rooms are luxurious villas seamlessly integrated with nature. These two zones are separated by a small road, just 100 meters apart, making it easy to access either area.

There is ample parking available, provided on both sides.
