Escaping the hustle and bustle for a retreat, “Kept Bangsaray Hotel Pattaya” in Thailand near Bangkok, is one of the ultimate trips I’ve ever taken. Situated in the tranquil village of Bang Sare, in Sattahip district, Chonburi province, Bang Sare exudes a charming, distinctive charm. The sea here is relatively calm and private compared to Pattaya or Jomtien. Personally, if we want to sit back, enjoy the sea, the sky, and indulge in delicious fresh seafood, far away from Bangkok, Bang Sare is always one of our top choices.

“Kept Bangsaray Hotel Pattaya” is an exceptional accommodation that welcomes guests in a unique, unicorn-like style. It has its own charm but with a special touch. Under the concept of intending to preserve Bang Sare, allowing you to collect wonderful experiences, starting from check-in, the staff are lovely, and they even provide bubble baths for us to use in the room, as our room has a Jacuzzi. As for the lobby, it feels like the sea itself has entered, creating a floating relaxation vibe. It truly feels like this is the ultimate relaxation mode. We have arrived at the sea, indeed.

Let’s take a look at our room, the “Kept Deluxe.” It’s a room located on the upper floors of the hotel building. You can see the sea even when lying on the bed. The balcony is very spacious and equipped with a Jacuzzi. The room’s functionality is straightforward yet highly useful. It’s decorated in a marine style, using blue and white tones, with a theme of the sky and the sea.

In addition, “Kept Bangsaray Hotel Pattaya” also offers top-notch accommodation that requires advance booking, as it’s sure to fill up quickly. That would be the “Kept Water Villa,” reminiscent of the Maldives to a great extent. These villas are built over the water, providing unobstructed views of the sea. If you book this room during this period, there’s complimentary high tea included.

This trip, we’re going to relax at the Oriental Beach Pearl Resort, where we’ll stay in private villa-style accommodations with a luxurious Laguna-style swimming pool. Just seeing the pool makes me want to jump in and swim immediately.

The Oriental Beach Pearl Resort is located in Sam Roi Yot District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, about half an hour away from Hua Hin. The accommodation offers a high level of privacy, making it suitable for group gatherings with friends, families, or even for romantic getaways for couples.

The atmosphere of staying here is like being in your own air-conditioned vacation home, surrounded by long winding swimming pools. Each villa opens directly onto the pool, allowing for easy access to swimming. Due to the vastness of the project, transportation to the main facilities requires shuttle bus service. Upon calling the front desk, the shuttle bus arrives promptly.

The accommodation starts with the Lotus Poolside Townhouse, featuring 1 bedroom. Inside, there’s a sofa set, a kitchenette, and a separate bedroom area. What’s particularly special is that every villa here comes with a private Jacuzzi on the rooftop, where you can even barbecue. It’s perfect for special occasions and parties.

The Executive Exclusive Villa is very spacious. It boasts 2 bedrooms and 2 luxurious, large bathrooms. Additionally, there’s a larger kitchen area and an expanded living room space.

The Royal Poolside Villa is a perfect accommodation for larger group gatherings. It features 3 bedrooms with similar amenities to the other villas. What sets it apart is the larger size of the bedrooms and bathrooms.

The atmosphere around the resort is incredibly refreshing, especially with such a vast swimming pool. Playing in the water and taking photos feels even better with no other guests in the frame. You can capture plenty of beautiful shots.

The resort provides a small playground for children to play in.

For dining recommendations, I suggest trying the resort’s offerings rather than going out. The prices at the resort are not expensive, and sometimes they can even be better than those outside. They use good quality ingredients and the taste is delicious. I would like to suggest trying the charcoal oven pizza. They make their own dough, knead it, and bake it fresh from the chef.

The Western-style dishes are delicious in every aspect.

The Thai dishes here are incredibly spicy and flavorful. One notable dish is called ‘Gueb Jab Pla,’ which is a mix between Pla (fish) and Yum (spicy salad). It’s a unique blend of the two, hence the name. The fresh sweet shrimp is also delicious. Another standout dish is the fried squid with garlic, truly tasty. The dipping sauce is also spicy and complements the dishes well. Overall, all the dishes are worth trying.

Tonight is perfect for enjoying cocktails. Even swimming in the pool with the lights on at midnight creates another ambiance. The cocktails here are reasonably priced, definitely not hotel prices. You can order several glasses and drink in a relaxed manner.

Taking a warm bath in the Jacuzzi on the rooftop of the villa at midnight, with the accompanying lighting system, is truly delightful.

For breakfast, it’s a la carte, but you can refill as much as you want.

It’s a relaxing day, focusing on water activities and enjoying delicious food. Although the resort is not beachfront, it’s very close to the sea. The Sam Roi Yot area offers serene beaches where you can enjoy magical water activities. Nearby attractions include the Sam Roi Yot National Park, Sam Roi Yot Beach, Khao Kalok, and Phraya Nakhon Cave. These attractions are not heavily touristic but offer stunning and unforgettable views.

This is our second time coming back to the ‘Chaolao Cabana Resort,’ perhaps because we are enchanted by the serene atmosphere and the incredibly delicious seafood served during sunset. The pool access rooms allow us to take just a few steps from the bed to plunge into the water.

Today, we’re going to show you some of the new additions at the ‘Chaolao Cabana Resort.’ First off, it’s conveniently located near the parking area. As soon as you step in, you’ll notice The Sea Café, decorated in shades of blue, white, and navy, evoking a seaside ambiance. If you arrive before check-in time, you can grab a drink and relax while waiting. Perfect for rejuvenation! As for recommended items on the menu, their signature item is the iced cocoa. Their purple sweet potato milk tea is also a must-try. When you drink it, you even get small bits of purple sweet potato texture.

The ‘Chaolao Cabana Resort’ now has a new zone that has recently opened. It’s a zone perfect for those who enjoy swimming in a more private setting, with fewer people and a quieter atmosphere. The pool in this zone is significantly larger compared to the number of newly built pool access rooms. Inside, the decoration is contemporary, with thick, soft bedding sets and more modern amenities compared to the original zone.

The rooms on the inside are decorated in a contemporary style, with bright and refreshing colors. The bathrooms feature a semi-transparent sliding door design.

And here we have a connecting room with two bedrooms. One bedroom features a single bed, while the other has a double bed, allowing for convenient access between the two rooms.

The Cabana Villa is a family-friendly accommodation option that offers privacy and comfort. The room is divided into two zones: a bedroom and a living area. It can accommodate up to 6 guests comfortably.

As for the Chao Lao Villa, it accommodates up to 4 guests.

Here, the serene seaside atmosphere, expansive beaches, and clear waters without rocky obstacles still remain, providing the same enjoyable swimming experience as before.

Additionally, there are added features such as picturesque nets for capturing memorable photographs.

Another swimming pool of the hotel is located right in front of the beach.

I’ve been captivated by the Blue Marine Restaurant since my last visit. The fresh seafood, stunning view, and especially the breathtaking sunset make it even more beautiful. Recommended dishes include fried prawns with tamarind sauce, stir-fried barramundi with chili paste, and seafood Tom Yum soup.

The newly renovated interior of the restaurant features a beverage bar area with seating for guests who may not prioritize a sea view but prefer a comfortable and bright atmosphere.

The breakfast restaurant emphasizes Thai cuisine, which is delicious and appealing to Thai taste buds. It offers a variety of dishes such as Tom Yum soup, fried rice, and various stir-fried vegetables. Perhaps it’s because the majority of the guests here are Thai, which adds to the authenticity and appeal of the cuisine.

However, there are also additional options for Western-style dishes available to cater to the preferences of Western guests.

Don’t forget to try the delicious pork noodles and many other tasty dishes of Chanthaburi city. End your Chanthaburi trip on a super happy note!

The name “Khao Soi Dao” might ring a bell for many, yet it might still be unfamiliar to some travelers. When thinking of Chanthaburi, many might immediately think of Chaolao Beach or more prominently, waterfalls. However, another gem in Chanthaburi is its mountains, boasting breathtaking views comparable to those in the northern region. For this stargazing trip, we plan to visit Khao Khitchakut National Park, the Khao Soi Dao Wildlife Sanctuary, and Khao Soi Dao Waterfall. We’ll be staying at the newly opened “Soi Dao Good View Resort” in Chanthaburi.

“Soi Dao Good View Resort” in Chanthaburi is the latest newly opened accommodation. It is situated atop a unique hill. Due to its elevated location, guests can enjoy stunning mountain views with crystal clarity.

The highlight of this place is its expansive swimming pool with a panoramic view of the Phanom Rung Mountains.

For accommodations, there are various options available, starting with the deluxe rooms. These rooms feature spacious balconies with panoramic views and modern interior decoration.

Another deluxe room is located on the third floor.

The family suite consists of two bedrooms, one living room, and spacious interiors. In addition to accommodating up to 2 guests, this suite is also suitable for private social gatherings such as family parties or gatherings with friends. Special rates are available for booking the entire suite directly with the accommodation.

We decided to have dinner at the hotel. The restaurant serves a fusion of Thai and Chinese cuisine, with the recommended dishes being the Braised Pork Leg and Crispy Noodle with Duck. I must say, they are incredibly delicious. The chef must be highly experienced, coming from a renowned hotel.

The grand hills are accessible for travel all year round. During weekends, driving for pleasure, stopping for delicious meals, and enjoying good coffee are common activities. There are plenty of options to choose from. When we visit the grand hills, we often seek out excellent accommodations and spend the whole day at the resort. On this trip, we had a specific desire to stay in a villa-style accommodation amidst the hills, with a serene atmosphere, focusing on swimming pools, and having beautiful gardens for us to enjoy the fresh air. Finally, we found ourselves indulging at the “Limon Villa Khao Yai,” where we could also stroll through the vibrant Lemon-themed garden, featuring fresh yellow hues, reminiscent of those found in Italy.

Limon Villa Khao Yai offers villa-style accommodations. Each villa is built separately, emphasizing privacy. Thick shrubbery fences separate them from the outside world, providing a fresh and relaxing atmosphere. The Fiore One Bedroom Villa is a starting option for accommodation.

This room type is also a villa, but it is much larger, spanning two floors. It features a living area and inside the room, there are charming and dreamy furnishings, suitable for group relaxation and vacationing together.

“Onhill Village” offers a retreat-like feel, perfect for leisurely exploration of the hills and immersion in nature. Located in Pak Chong District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, this accommodation resembles a warm and inviting home rather than a typical resort. Despite not being situated within a bustling community, it is conveniently close to amenities such as restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, and even the popular Khao Yai National Park.

Finding your way to “Onhill Village” is not difficult as it is easily located and accessible via GPS. The atmosphere is serene and tranquil, with abundant trees and spacious areas perfect for cycling or jogging to enjoy the fresh air and pristine surroundings.

The resort area is expansive, characterized by iconic pine trees that can be seen lining the resort’s surroundings, showcasing large-sized pine trees scattered throughout the resort area.

Our accommodation is a newly built house decorated in a Scandinavian minimalist style, which is incredibly inviting. It exudes a sleek, modern vibe. Upstairs, there are twin beds, while downstairs, there is a comfortable double bed. It’s warm and cozy, perfect for a good night’s sleep. Another highlight is the spacious terrace with a bathtub, where you can relax, soak in the water, and enjoy the view. It’s so relaxing that you won’t want to leave the house at all.

The accommodation comes fully equipped with all necessary amenities, ensuring convenience and comfort throughout your stay.

There are multiple styles of rooms available, and this is another one that we particularly love. It offers the most breathtaking view of the sunset, with the sky painted in golden hues. It’s incredibly beautiful. You can even order a barbecue to enjoy while waiting for the sunset. We visited in February when the weather was still pleasantly cool in the hills. Having a barbecue grill added to the ambiance, making the experience even more enjoyable.

You can order the BBQ set directly from the resort. It’s delicious and definitely worth it. Additionally, the resort also provides BBQ equipment rental services, along with utensils, charcoal for the grill, and one jug of ice for customers.

“Onhill Village” is a pet-friendly accommodation, and small breed dogs are welcome to stay. However, they only accept dogs of the Beagle breed or smaller. You can bring your furry friend to stay in any area of the resort. Moreover, there is a celebrity regular at this resort, and that’s none other than the adorable ‘P’Tia On Hill.’ She’s incredibly friendly and loves to interact with guests. You can often find her running around, greeting visitors throughout the resort.

The villa now allows dogs to stay, ma’am.

The lobby and dining area are one and the same, so let’s take a look at the impressive breakfast spread at “Onhill Village.” It’s truly delightful, with a homemade style that’s both charming and delicious. If you happen to stay during various festivals, they often offer complimentary treats, or special menu items following the “good sleep eat well” concept.

For those who want to recharge amidst nature, living life at a slower pace, soaking in the tranquility, “Onhill Village” awaits you.

The accommodation offers a modern, hipster-style stay in Khao Yai, where we’ll be exploring today. “Green Pix Khaoyai” resort is stylish and creatively designed, offering eye-catching views wherever you look.

“Green Pix Khaoyai” is located in Pak Chong district, not far from popular attractions like PB Valley Khao Yai Winery, Piram Café, or Larn Ka Coffee Tree. Its convenient location makes it close to tourist destinations. The accommodations at Green Pix are housed in modern-style box-shaped buildings with trendy designs. The centerpiece of the resort is a long infinity pool, surrounded by accommodation buildings and various types of plants, giving the impression of a contemporary waterfall retreat.

Chiang Rai offers year-round travel opportunities. Experience the refreshing coolness of the air atop the hills whenever you visit ‘Katiliya Mountain Resort and Spa’. This time we visited Chiang Rai during the peak of winter, in February, and even though it was expected to be very cold, the air on the hills remained pleasantly cool in the mornings and evenings. It’s quite unexpected to encounter such cool weather at the end of February. This adds to the charm of our love for the northern mountainous regions.

Would you like to pack your bags and head to the beach to unwind from the heat? If you’re planning a trip and haven’t booked anywhere yet, why not check in here with us at “Tanaosri Resort,” Prachuap Khiri Khan? It might be a good alternative for you and your friends to consider. “Tanaosri Resort” is another popular resort in Prachuap Khiri Khan because of its excellent location. It’s situated right by the sea, with accommodations nestled in a garden setting. Plus, it’s conveniently close to Prachuap Khiri Khan’s walking street, where you can find various street food stalls offering affordable prices.

The sea is right across from the resort.

The sea in Prachuap Khiri Khan is something tranquil where you can gaze at the sky, look at the sea, feel the breeze, and spend time slowly and peacefully. In the evenings, people often ride bicycles and enjoy leisurely activities together.

The resort also provides bicycles for guests to use.

For many people, they may choose to park at the front of the resort, which is right by the sea. However, if it’s more convenient, you can park at the back as well. There’s a parking area close to the lobby.

“Tanaosri Resort” is lush and tranquil, tucked away beneath coconut trees and vibrant tropical greenery. On either side of the bridge leading to the lobby, the resort offers a serene and refreshing atmosphere.

Our rooms are villa-style, offering views of the garden, swimming pool, and the sea. They are located on the second floor, with access via a small staircase.

The villa-style rooms are all single-story.

The swimming pool is located at the front, right by the sea.

The resort’s restaurant is also located at the front, serving as the place for breakfast and dinner. Meals here are reasonably priced and delicious. The seafood is especially fresh, straight from the sea to the plate. Additionally, you can request a table by the poolside for a delightful dining experience.

We opted for a light dinner by taking a stroll down the nearby walking street. While the food wasn’t expensive, we didn’t actually purchase any as we were already quite full. We simply enjoyed the sights without indulging in a meal.

I want to watch the sunrise, so I’ll wake up around 6:30 a.m.

Then I’ll have breakfast afterward.

Whoever wants to enjoy a leisurely trip to Prachuap Khiri Khan at an incredibly worthwhile price should consider booking “Tanaosri Resort.” It’s perfect for a slow-paced and enjoyable vacation.

A trip to Chanthaburi would not be complete without exploring the town itself. We would like to emphasize that Chanthaburi town offers plenty of goodness, including restaurants, cafes, and tourist attractions. Spending just one day in the town is sufficient, as it is packed with continuous enjoyable activities. This time, we stayed at the ‘Usabai Riverside Boutique Hotel’.

The ‘Usabai Riverside Boutique Hotel’ is truly a centrally located accommodation in Chanthaburi, close to tourist attractions such as the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, which is said to be the most beautiful cathedral in the country. While the exterior of the hotel may appear modest, stepping inside reveals luxurious decorations that blend modern design with elements of Chinese art.

Walk a little further and you’ll see the curve of the Chanthaburi River flowing past the accommodation.

The resort features a charming little café decorated with care. Whether you choose to sit indoors and enjoy the cozy atmosphere or step outside to feel the breeze in the outdoor zone, you’ll surely find delight in both options.

The rooms at the ‘Usabai Riverside Boutique Hotel’ are modernly decorated, with each room having its own unique design. This particular room features twin beds that are quite spacious. It is fully equipped with amenities and also has a balcony for enjoying the view. The beds are extremely comfortable, and high-quality bedding materials are used.

This room, called the ‘Heaven Suite,’ is designed to fulfill various needs with abundant amenities. It features a bathtub, spacious layout, and an exceptionally comfortable bed.

Come together in large numbers! This ‘Adjoining Leisure’ room is really worth it. It can accommodate up to 7 people, perfect for families or groups of friends who want to stay together. If you’re looking for a happy stay, then this is the room for you!

The breakfast at the ‘Usabai Riverside Boutique Hotel’ is incredibly delicious. You can’t go wrong with any choice. It’s better to indulge and eat to your heart’s content. You’ll be satisfied until midday for sure!

Within just a 5-minute drive from the hotel, you can comfortably reach the Ploy Market, a nearby attraction where you can enjoy leisurely strolls.

Afterward, you can proceed to the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.

Make a stop at the kitchen counter of the café that resembles a Parisian setting in the heart of Chanthaburi. Those who enjoy pastries will surely love the offerings from this place. The pastry crust from this shop is exceptionally crispy on the outside yet soft and light when bitten into, with a delightful buttery aroma.
