This trip was refreshing because we went to Koh Kood… The sea at Koh Kood is truly blue, clear blue. It fills the heart with joy. Besides the blue sea, when we think of Koh Kood, we also think of Sea Far Resort Koh Kood, where we stayed by the sea, right on the white sandy beach. We had been to Blue Resort before, and what captured our hearts was the clear blue sea and the simple atmosphere, living close to the sea. That’s why it led us to come back here again. And this time, we were impressed once again.

Sea Far Resort Koh Kood is located at Ao Taphao, Koh Kood, facing the long beach bay with fine white sand. The accommodations are villa-style, situated in the back, offering high privacy. What impressed us this time was the Blue Resort’s charming bridge at the end, made of wood, with a slow curve. Moreover, they’ve decorated the bridge with new lighting and added a net over it. It instantly reminded us of Maldives. When the sun sets and the lights come on, it becomes even more beautiful.

The cafe has arrived, and the verdict from team members is that the cheesecake here is the best on Koh Kood. As for coffee, after trying out 4-5 cafes on the island, we must say that the one here is the best.”

This beachfront villa is located right on the beach, and it features a Beachfront Deluxe with Jacuzzi Bathroom. Apart from being beachfront, this room also boasts a whirlpool bathtub for soaking while enjoying the sea view.

The private villa is located right on the beach, offering clear turquoise sea views. After soaking in the water, you can just run straight into the sea. As for the interior, the room is decorated in shades of blue, enhancing the cozy atmosphere with themed tie-dye patterns, making it unique and stylish.

The Beachfront Bungalow is also located right on the beach, allowing you to feel the sea, breeze, and full sunlight. However, unlike the Beachfront Deluxe with Jacuzzi Bathroom, this room does not feature a jacuzzi bathtub. Other than that, it offers similar amenities such as a television, refrigerator, WiFi, mini-bar, towels, soap, and shampoo.

The Coconut Pool Garden Deluxe room is nestled amidst a coconut garden. This zone offers tranquility, located approximately 100 meters away from the beach. In the center of the zone, there is a swimming pool equipped with sun loungers. This area tends to be less crowded, making it perfect for those seeking peace and quiet to read a book or enjoy a swim in the pool.

You can find refreshing drinks to enjoy at the beach bar, which is open all day.

Dinner on Koh Kood, I recommend the hotpot pork set. It’s a great value and delicious. Almost every table orders it.

The breakfast is served buffet-style, offering both Thai and American breakfast options. Guests can also help themselves to tea and coffee.

This trip feels like living in a blue world, to be honest.

Let’s go camping in the middle of Pattaya city at The Pattaya Glamper! This newly opened accommodation offers the ultimate chic experience right in the heart of the city, less than 10 minutes away from Terminal 21 and Pattaya Beach. Here, the convenience of hotel stays meets the charm of safari-style tents, creating a cool camping atmosphere. Sleep in ultra-clean tents with plush mattresses and ensuite bathrooms, ensuring a very comfortable camping experience.

The Pattaya Glamper boasts several impressive photo spots, starting from the entrance gate leading to the minimalist-style lobby. It’s spacious and airy, enhanced with wooden accents and wicker decorations. The lobby area is open-concept, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the breeze in a chill atmosphere.

The bathroom at the lobby area is also beautifully designed, perfect for photo opportunities.

During the 3 PM afternoon session, complimentary refreshments are provided, featuring a set of Thai snacks, cakes, and beverages. Guests can enjoy these treats at their tents or opt to sit and indulge in the lobby area.

Our accommodation tent was incredibly comfortable and inviting, perfect for two people. It had a cozy and warm ambiance, with ample space for placing belongings and a surrounding area around the bed. We especially loved the soft and comfortable bed, equipped with its own air conditioner. Additionally, the amenities provided, such as complimentary drinks, battery charging stations, were thoughtful touches. Most importantly, having an ensuite bathroom was a real luxury. The decorative bathtub had a luxurious tropical style, creating a mood of relaxation amidst the garden. Privacy was ensured with the availability of curtains. Furthermore, the bathroom and rain shower were separate, with a separate sink area, making everything feel well-designed and convenient. Overall, we felt extremely comfortable and relaxed. Outside the tent, there were chairs where we could sit and enjoy the evening views. Given the hot weather, we preferred to indulge in snacks or relax in the cool, air-conditioned tent rather than staying outside.

Amphawa is another popular tourist destination near Bangkok. It offers easy access, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy the beautiful riverside scenery. Choosing to stay at Na Tree Tara Riverside Resort fulfills all needs, as the resort is surrounded by nature and situated by the Mae Klong River. The atmosphere is pleasant, quiet, and perfect for a relaxing getaway not far from Bangkok.

This trip review of my stay in Pattaya this time offers a different feel from previous ones. It’s a relaxing getaway without any rush, as the sea is right in front of you and the swimming pool is right beside it. Delicious dining options surround you at Marine Beach Hotel Pattaya, located along Jomtien Beach with a small road separating the hotel from the beach.

The accommodation is decorated in a contemporary style blended with chic Chinese elements, using tones of elegant grey, brown, and white. The lobby will be located on the 1st floor of the accommodation building, which will serve as both a restaurant and a café.

The room we stayed in is the Marine Bedroom Suite, which is divided into separate areas including a sitting area, dining table, and a work desk. The bedroom is also separated, and the bathroom comes with a bathtub and rain shower. The size of the room is approximately 70 square meters.

The Marine Presidential Suite, sized at 126 square meters, comes with 2 bedrooms, making it suitable for families. The master bedroom features a king-size bed with a bathtub and offers a sea view directly from the bed. The second bedroom has twin beds with a similar sea view. This suite also includes a spacious living area and a dining table. It’s the highest tier accommodation type at Marine Beach Hotel Pattaya.

The entry-level room type of the hotel is the Superior room, which comes with a balcony. Guests can choose between a king-size bed or twin beds. The room size is compact at 30 square meters, but it is fully equipped with standard hotel amenities.

A highlight not to be missed is the evening around 6 o’clock, where you can witness the sunset directly from the hotel. We chose to sit at the Street Bar, selecting a front-facing table to enjoy the sunset view. Street Bar serves street food-style dishes with a creative twist, elevating ordinary favorites into extraordinary culinary experiences.

It’s perfect for relaxing and enjoying the breeze. Apart from the front seating area, there is also a back area with tables by the poolside, offering another delightful ambiance.

The combination of Parma Ham with melon is a delightful fusion that works exceptionally well. I highly recommend this dish. Additionally, the salmon and grilled ribs are also must-try options.

In the morning, just about 100 meters from the front of the hotel, there’s a small morning market. The highlight is the fresh seafood directly from the boats that have just returned from fishing. They will park the boats right by the football field for you to buy directly from the shore. It’s like serving fresh catches straight from the sea onto the shore. Definitely worth buying as it’s extremely fresh.

Even though there are tempting pastries and a variety of foods available, we cannot resist sticking to the hotel’s breakfast. We’ve secretly peeked and found many appetizing options. The breakfast quality is exceptional, especially the fresh seafood like steamed seabass with lime, which is so delicious that we couldn’t resist asking for more. The fresh vegetables and tasty pastries are also delightful. As for coffee, you can choose between cappuccino, latte, or opt for tea.

Staying for just one night, it’s more relaxing to find a café to hang out by the sea. From Marina Beach Hotel Pattaya, Sattahip is about half an hour away. Sattahip Beach is something we really enjoy because of its tranquility and unique character. It’s untouched and has its own natural charm, with the sea boasting beautiful colors. The café we visited, Manga & Hubba, can be easily located via GPS. Upon arrival, there’s parking available, and you can call the café to come pick you up. They have cute little cars to pick up their customers.

The atmosphere of the café is shady, with beautiful sea views. I ordered a drip coffee to drink. It was so refreshing!

The food was delicious! The yellow curry with seabass was as spicy and flavorful as if I had eaten it in the south. And the pizza was tasty too!

 

Talking about Pala-U, many people might be familiar with the name, as it’s often heard in passing. But wait, where is it exactly? What does it offer? Why should one consider visiting? Today, hotelandresort will take you on a simple, comfortable trip, yet fulfilling. That’s right, we’re talking about a trip to the Orchard Luang Prabang Resort, a resort nestled amidst orchards of various fruits, including durian and other types of trees, located in Kaeng Krachan District, Phetchaburi Province.

The Orchard Pa La-U Resort is located approximately 1 hour away from Hua Hin and is situated near the boundaries of Kaeng Krachan National Park. This area is rich with lush vegetation, waterfalls, streams, and wildlife. The resort itself is about a 20-minute drive from the Pa La-U Waterfall. Being nestled amidst fruit orchards, the resort derives its name from this characteristic, making it the Orchard Pa La-U Resort.

Prior to this, we only knew about Apsara Beachfront Resort & Villa through their advertising campaign. The images depicted a large resort located by the Main Beach, with an infinity pool and contemporary-style buildings amidst lush greenery. That was the impression we had of this 5-star accommodation. However, as we all know, photographs cannot fully capture the essence of a resort like experiencing it in person. And ultimately, when we stood right here, we found that Apsara Beachfront Resort & Villa exceeded our wildest imaginations.

Apsara Beachfront Resort & Villa is a tranquil kingdom nestled by the Main Beach, boasting a shoreline perfect for water activities. The long stretch of fine sand offers ideal conditions for surfing, with waves of moderate strength suitable for surfing enthusiasts. Moreover, the hotel is conveniently located near Memory Beach as well. However, it must be emphasized that the hotel’s beachfront is particularly ideal for surfing. Guests staying here can easily access the hotel’s beachfront for surfing activities. It’s evident that the waves are quite inviting.

Once a year, it’s essential to plan a trip to Ayutthaya, to pay respects at the temples, admire the ancient city, indulge in boat noodles, and stop by cute cafes. Such a short trip can recharge your energy in no time. Although Ayutthaya isn’t too far, the journey there and back can be tiring. Thus, finding a good accommodation close to tourist attractions at an affordable price is a smart idea. For this trip, we decided to stay at The Cavalli Casa Resort, a newly opened accommodation just 10 minutes away from the city center. Whether it’s visiting temples, enjoying grilled prawns, or buying silk scarves, everything is within a 10-minute reach.

The Cavalli Casa Resort, located on a vast 35-acre property, boasts 120 rooms. The resort is divided into two buildings, Building A and Building B. It offers new accommodation options for those who prefer staying in freshly decorated rooms with clean, new beddings. The lobby for check-in is located in Building A, and as you drive in, it will be on your right-hand side. There’s ample parking space available, possibly due to the hotel hosting events, meetings, and seminars regularly.

The most beautiful room at the resort, which also comes at an attractive price (price stated at the end of the review), is decorated in a contemporary style. It features a sophisticated navy blue color scheme complemented by soothing white accents, creating a clean and relaxing ambiance. The room is perfect for unwinding and getting a good night’s sleep. It offers all standard amenities, and the spacious bathroom includes a bathtub. Additionally, the private balcony provides views of passing trains, as the resort is located near the Ban Ma Railway Station. Train schedules are available at intervals, allowing guests to enjoy distant views of trains passing by.

This hot weather calls for cooling off with some water fun, and the top water park in Kanchanaburi, Lake Heaven Resort and Park, or Lake Heaven, is our next destination. Then, we drove until we reached the Srinakarin Dam to encounter the floating houses surrounded by mountains. It took about 1 hour and 15 minutes from downtown Kanchanaburi, which is quite reasonable. The route is good, with plenty of shops and cafes along the way for a pleasant drive.

Pattaya Paradise Beach Resort, a private beachfront accommodation in Sattahip District, Chonburi Province. I’ve heard of this resort before and seen pictures of its cottage-style seaside accommodations, but I was rather indifferent. However, upon actually visiting, I found many impressive aspects here that left a lasting impression. While it may not emphasize luxury or standard hotel services with abundant amenities, it has a charming quality and offers something special with its location and atmosphere. We’d like to say it’s another accommodation in Sattahip that we were impressed with.

Pattaya Paradise Beach Resort is decorated with inspiration from English Country style and situated atop a hill. The first time we drove there following the GPS, we weren’t sure if we were on the right track as there weren’t clear signs. However, when we saw the sign for Pattaya Paradise Beach Resort, we knew we were in the right place. Upon arrival, we couldn’t see the accommodation at first, but as we walked a bit further, we were pleasantly surprised. We found ourselves on a hill with a path leading down to the lobby and colorful cottages. In front of us was a vast expanse of sea.

An infinity pool that overlooks the sea.

The resort is built descending in tiers along the cliff towards the beach, creating a vibrant and colorful kaleidoscope. Adorned with fresh shades of umbrellas and flowers, this style of accommodation is not commonly found in Pattaya or Sattahip. The recommended room type is the Deluxe Cottage, which is situated by the infinity pool. Guests can simply walk out of their rooms and directly access the pool. Inside the room, amenities include a refrigerator, television, air conditioning, and complimentary toiletries.
