Amidst the mountains and lush greenery, the 700-plus-rai kingdom of Rancho Charnvee Resort & Country Club is reputed to be one of the most delightful places to stay in Khao Yai. With its vast, shady grounds, cozy and private rooms, and most importantly, a plethora of activities, it captivates visitors. The food here is also exceptionally delicious. It’s safe to say that once you check in, you won’t want to leave, because the resort is so comfortable and enjoyable.

Rancho Charnvee Resort & Country Club is a resort with a large area, but the rooms are sparsely distributed, focusing on quality and privacy for guests. Therefore, the number of rooms is relatively small compared to the many activities and facilities provided. This is another highlight of Rancho Charnvee, and we were very impressed.

Let’s take a look at the rooms. The rooms are decorated with an English vibe, in an elegant and luxurious English Countryside style that is also warm and cozy. Our room was the Premier Pool Access, which is connected to the main swimming pool so you can step right out the door into the pool. The room is divided into a functional bathroom and a studio-style bedroom, complete with a soft sofa perfect for lounging and watching TV. The bed is a king size, and the bathroom has a separate shower. There’s also a small tea corner where you can sit and enjoy tea or coffee and take beautiful photos. The room provides coffee along with a Nespresso machine, so we made some coffee to sip and relax.

This is what makes rooms near the swimming pool so great. You don’t have to walk far, and if you forget something, you can easily go back and get it. You can change outfits for photos as many times as you want without any hassle. From our Premier Pool Access room, it was just a few steps to the pool. I noticed that there is a small iron fence separating the pool from the rooms, making it feel like the pool is almost your own.

The pool bar serves a variety of drinks. You should order some to refresh yourself. Swimming while sipping on a cold drink is very relaxing.

And here is an activity that we must say is a lot of fun: driving a classic car along the shady roads of Rancho Charnvee. It’s a joy to drive and view the large golf course, which is a championship-standard course. For golfers, this is one of the top courses in Khao Yai, an 18-hole, par-72 course, perfect for a round of golf and relaxation. But for non-golfers like us, driving a classic car to enjoy the scenery and take photos is a great alternative. The cars are very cute, and driving slowly is very relaxing. Additionally, there are ATVs for those who enjoy adventurous activities.

Our evening activity today was dining at Chez Sonia, the resort’s Italian restaurant, which we must say is extremely delicious. If you’re in Khao Yai and craving Italian food, head straight to Chez Sonia—you won’t be disappointed. The restaurant has two seating options: a cool indoor area or a comfortable outdoor area by the pool. We recommend ordering the wood-fired pizza with a thin, crispy crust and thick, soft edges. There are many pizza toppings to choose from. Today, we tried a spicy but flavorful topping with aromatic cheese that paired well with the crispy, chewy crust. The fried calamari was excellent, not greasy at all, and seasoned perfectly without overpowering the natural, sweet flavor of the squid. The dipping sauce was great too, cutting through any heaviness. However, we found that eating it without the sauce was just as delicious. The pasta was cooked al dente, with a wonderful aroma of butter, garlic, and white wine. The quality steak was served with potatoes, and we finished with the chef’s special tiramisu. It was all incredibly delicious and very satisfying.

After dining, we continued on to Pimarn Terrace where they were showing movies during dusk. The atmosphere was charming, warm, and truly special. It was perfect for those who enjoy sitting down to watch a movie while having dinner or sipping drinks. It was a wonderful night. Sweet dreams!

Tonight is beautiful at Rancho Charnveee Resort & Country Club.

Let’s take a look at the breakfast buffet together. The breakfast spread offers a good variety, everything is of high quality with fresh, new ingredients, and most importantly, it’s delicious.

With such good food, who worries about missing out on exercise during a trip? At Rancho Charnvee, there’s no need to worry at all. They have a well-equipped air-conditioned fitness room with various types of exercise equipment for you to choose from.

After finishing breakfast, we went to explore Rancho Club, which is perfect for families with young children. They have cute little farm animals like ponies and ducks. If anyone wants to try horseback riding, they offer professional supervision. For those who love horseback riding, it’s a must-try experience. They also provide pony rides for beginners, and if you want to learn how to ride, they offer lessons too.

A rainy season trip like this at Khao Yai’s Rancho Charnveee Resort & Country Club is absolutely delightful. It’s fresh and vibrant everywhere you look, with soothing greenery and beautiful mountain trees. This season is truly perfect for visiting Khao Yai.

This trip to Hua Hin was absolutely delightful with charming accommodations. Every corner was perfect for photos, and the location was incredibly convenient. Absolutely loved The Sea-Cret Hua Hin! For anyone looking for affordable accommodation, centrally located in Hua Hin, and most importantly, comfortable with beautiful photo spots and delicious food, you must read this review.

The Sea-Cret Hua Hin is located in a not-so-secret spot on Soi Hua Hin 75/2, close to Cicada Market and surrounded by popular restaurants and cafes. The area is bustling with life, so you won’t feel lonely. While the accommodation isn’t beachfront, you only need to walk less than 100 meters to reach the beach. My first impression of The Sea-Cret Hua Hin began at the lobby, which was filled with nothing but charm. Every detail exuded cuteness, painting a picturesque scene.

Wherever you go, the pink pathways and pastel palette scream chic! It’s a trip worth taking, with plenty of photo opportunities to fill your Instagram for the next three years. Just relax and enjoy!

The swimming pool is centrally located within the hotel, surrounded by 3-story accommodation buildings. It features a kids’ zone and a nearby pool bar where you can order refreshing drinks to beat the heat.

Three types of rooms are available, starting with the Deluxe Jacuzzi room, which is 40 square meters. What I love about it is the minimalist yet adorable decor that’s incredibly clean. I especially appreciate the Jacuzzi on the balcony, where the water pressure is excellent, providing a relaxing massage experience. Plus, the view of the swimming pool from this room is fantastic. I like that there aren’t too many rooms, creating a comfortable and spacious atmosphere.

The Deluxe Poolside room is similar to the Deluxe Jacuzzi in terms of decoration and room size. Additionally, it offers a terrace connected to the swimming pool, allowing you to jump into the pool whenever you want. If you’re looking for a refreshing and fun-filled stay, focusing on swimming and splashing around, this room is the perfect choice.

The Suite Poolside room features two bedrooms, accommodating up to 4 guests, making it perfect for a family vacation. This room comes with a Jacuzzi and direct access to the swimming pool. With a spacious size of up to 80 square meters, it also includes a dining table for you to relax, enjoy drinks, and perhaps have some tea or coffee. It’s an ideal space for families to unwind and make the most of their stay.

Come on in, I’ve got a Top Secret to share! This place is the ultimate hidden gem. The café here is absolutely fantastic. Top Seacret Beach Café is part of the hotel, just a short walk away. It’s a hip and trendy beachfront café that definitely ranks among the top spots in Hua Hin.

Let’s check out the beachfront together! The beach here is absolutely stunning—wide and perfect for swimming. I recommend coming in the late afternoon when the sun is setting, and there’s a gentle breeze. You can chill out on these cool pink bean bags that perfectly match the ambiance.

The café has several photo spots, perfect for capturing memories. You could easily spend an hour just taking photos at various spots.

The food not only looks good but tastes delicious too, just as impressive as the ambiance. And don’t forget about the cakes—they offer a wide selection!

Since the café stays open until late, having dinner here sounds like a great idea. The atmosphere changes from a chic café during the day to a romantic dining spot as evening falls. Enjoying a meal while watching the sea is simply wonderful. I recommend trying their burgers, salmon steak, fried shrimp salad, seafood pasta, and beef steak.

The breakfast here is served buffet-style, and you’ll love the atmosphere of the breakfast room, themed in pink and surrounded by fresh green plants. Waking up to such freshness in the morning is delightful. The breakfast menu offers both Thai and American dishes, and it’s considered a complete hotel breakfast spread. Most importantly, the food is delicious and of high quality. Anyone staying at The Sea-Cret Hua Hin would agree that one word sums it up: you’ll want to come back for more, longing for Hua Hin and The Sea-Cret.

This trip has truly filled our hearts with joy until they feel like they might burst! Sira Ran Resort is more than just a place to relax on vacation; it’s where we collect unforgettable memories to take back home. Every moment there brings us happiness. For anyone tired of touristy destinations or mass tourism, seeking accommodation close to nature, tranquil, and private, where you can leisurely wander and let time pass without hurry, gradually soaking in the increasing happiness with each passing minute, Sira Ran is the perfect answer.

Sirarun Resort is located in Thap Sakae District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, in a spot known as a hidden gem. Here, it’s tranquil and close to the sea, surrounded by lush trees. Just a 4-hour drive from Bangkok, which for us is totally worth it because this is the kind of seaside we long for: brilliant blue waters, clean sandy beaches, and few people around. It truly feels like a relaxing escape, where the sky, the beach, and the sea belong to us alone.

The lobby is a welcoming point designed to impress. The staff are incredibly friendly, helping to carry our belongings so we don’t have to tire ourselves out. While waiting to check-in, we can take beautiful photos in the open-air lobby, enjoying the fresh sea breeze.

The beach is another highlight of Sirarun. It’s long, wide, clean, with fine sand and beautiful turquoise waters, perfect for enjoying water activities.

There are various types of rooms available, so I’ll recommend one that suits different lifestyles and preferences. Let’s start with the Beachfront Pool Villa, a luxurious villa with 2 bedrooms, accommodating up to 4 guests. It’s the highlight of Sira Ran Resort. This room is spacious, and just lying there, you’ll feel like strolling down to the beach and diving into the sea in no time. It’s just a few steps from the bedroom to the expansive beach, and what’s important is that it’s a very private beach, free from crowds and noise, only the soothing sounds of nature. This is the strength of Sirarun Resort. Furthermore, the villa is generously sized, with all amenities provided, including a swimming pool and a spacious terrace. Inside, the villa is decorated in a contemporary Thai style, using local materials, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing stay.

If it’s just the two of you and you’re looking for a romantic villa for a special occasion, the Jacuzzi Pool Suite Villa would be perfect. This villa is also beachfront, offering stunning sea views, a private pool, and a jacuzzi. Inside, you’ll find a cozy sofa set and a comfortable bed, along with all the amenities you need for a relaxing stay.

If you’re considering the Boutique Suite Villa, it’s quite similar to the Jacuzzi Pool Suite Villa but without the private pool. However, it does come with a bathtub, although not a jacuzzi system. The price is lighter compared to the first two types, but it still maintains the comfort of the bedding and amenities. If you have the budget, I’d recommend opting for one of the first two types for that extra special experience. However, if you’re looking for a comfortable stay without focusing too much on special occasions, the Boutique Suite Villa is an excellent choice at a more affordable price.

For the Garden View Suite Villa, the price is indeed very appealing. This villa offers garden views and comes with a spacious area of up to 85 square meters. It includes separate bedrooms and living areas, along with a separate shower in the bathroom. The amenities provided are comprehensive and meet your needs perfectly. It’s definitely great value for money.

At Sirarun, there are only 25 villas in total, but the pool is massive. You can peacefully lounge by the sea, order refreshing drinks from the pool bar, and even swim when the shade cools things down. This is what you’d call an ideal day of relaxation.

In the afternoon, you should definitely order some afternoon tea and enjoy it by the poolside. The atmosphere is lovely, the tea is fragrant, and the pastries are delicious without being overly sweet. Sipping tea, indulging in pastries, and admiring the beautiful view—it’s truly something wonderful.

For activities, there’s a variety to choose from, catering to every lifestyle. Starting with beach activities, you can enjoy kayaking and snorkeling tours. For the snorkeling tour, you’ll need to book in advance through the hotel, as there may be additional charges.

Lounging in hammocks tied to two coconut trees by the beach is both cool and unique, unlike anything else. Most importantly, it’s incredibly enjoyable and makes for beautiful photos.

For family activities, there’s also the option of biking and collecting chicken eggs provided by the resort itself. They also offer feeding rabbits and deer, which I’m sure the kids will love. On the way back, the resort even gives you eggs to take home. It’s truly impressive and leaves a lasting impression.

Tonight, leave your appetite with the beachside BBQ. They serve it right at the villa, with a fun and lively BBQ party. The ingredients are top-notch, the dipping sauces are delicious. Remember to book in advance. Once you’ve tried it, you’ll know just how amazing the beachside BBQ vibes at the villa are.

The pool bar is still open for service even at midnight.

This beach area is where you can catch the sunrise in the morning. Anyone who wakes up early can come and admire it. The clear weather allows for a pure sunlight experience.

The breakfast options are plentiful and of high quality. Ordering breakfast here means you can skip lunch and still feel completely satisfied. It’s so delicious and fulfilling that it leaves you feeling happy and content. You’ll take back home many wonderful memories. Thinking about it brings joy wherever you are. Sira Ran Resort truly makes every moment a happy one.

When mentioning Bang Saphan, some people might not be familiar, and others who do know might say they’re quite remote. However, for those who have experienced sleeping by the sea and explored the area around these bridges, they all seem to unanimously agree that it’s truly good for the soul. This review will take you to discover the hidden gems of Bang Saphan District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, a land of serene and exclusive seaside tranquility. For the accommodation we believe is the best in this area, you won’t be disappointed. It’s cool, chic, and deeply connected to the sea – SEAnery Beach Resort.

Traveling to Bang Saphan from Bangkok is a comfortable drive, approximately 300 kilometers. Along the way, you’ll pass through renowned seaside destinations like Cha-am, Hua Hin, and Pranburi. Each of these places boasts its own charm and allure. However, don’t be swayed, because the beautiful destination awaits you at the end of the journey. Rest assured that the beaches around Bang Saphan are enchanting in their own right. This trip may not be packed with activities, but let me tell you upfront: Bang Saphan is perfect for those who enjoy slow, relaxed travels, away from the hustle and bustle. If you’re in the mood for a peaceful recharge, where you can unwind without encountering crowds, then Bang Saphan is the ideal destination. It’s a simple, tranquil getaway, close to nature.

We departed from Bangkok a bit late, taking about 4 relaxing hours with two brief stops along the way. Arriving at Serenity Beach Resort, we managed to check in just in time. The lobby is conveniently located near the parking area, with the resort’s elevated position offering a breathtaking view of the sea right from the moment we parked. Today, the weather is delightful, and the sea is a stunning shade of turquoise blue.

Let’s take a look at the Premier Beachfront Pool Villa. This villa is perfect for a couple celebrating a special occasion. The villa is situated right by the beach, just a few steps away from the sea. It comes with a private pool, offering a tranquil space for relaxation. The villa comprises separate living, sleeping, and bathroom areas, each beautifully proportioned.

The interior of the Premier Beachfront Pool Villa is stunning, chic, and stylish. It’s equipped with all the amenities you could need, and the furniture is particularly impressive. It’s cool and contemporary, yet it gives off a cozy and warm vibe. Plus, you can catch glimpses of the sea from every corner of the room, which adds to its charm.

The Grand Deluxe Beach Pool Villa is designed and decorated similarly to the Premier Beachfront Pool Villa, but it features 2 bedrooms. One bedroom has twin beds, while the other has a king-size bed. With its spacious layout, it’s suitable for accommodating 4-6 people, and extra beds can be added if needed. The villa offers a serene and tranquil atmosphere, allowing guests to fall asleep to the soothing sound of waves by the pool.

The Secluded Sea View Hill Suite with Kitchen is a fully equipped accommodation with everything you need. You can enjoy a sea view from the room and have a kitchen at your disposal. The layout of the room is similar to a studio, with separate sleeping and living areas. This room features a large balcony for enjoying the sea view, and waking up to the sunrise is a breathtaking experience. Just a little while after sunrise, the sea turns into a vibrant shade of deep blue. The bathroom has a separate shower, and the kitchen corner is fully equipped for simple cooking.

After resting and rejuvenating from the drive, it’s time to hit the beach and immerse ourselves in the sea. The shoreline at Serenity Beach Resort stretches endlessly, with soft sand and gentle waves lapping at our feet. Although the sand may not be as white and fine as powdered sugar, it’s still delightful to play in. Here, it’s genuinely peaceful—a high-quality day of relaxation where stress melts away with the gentle breeze, sunlight, and soothing sound of waves. Just lying down and gazing at the sea is therapeutic. Then, it’s time for a refreshing swim. The infinity pool, perched atop a hill, offers a stunning view of the sea. In the evening, the shade of the sun and cool breeze make it even more pleasant. Floating in the water, gazing at the sky and the sea, it’s a truly uplifting experience.

Traveling to Bang Saphan is all about embracing a simple and laid-back lifestyle, doing what makes you happy. Our trip revolves around eating, relaxing, and finding joy in the little things. As the finale of our day, we head to The Sea Restaurant & Bar for a delicious seafood meal. Prepared from fresh local ingredients, the dishes are mouthwatering. We indulge in steamed sea bass with lime, pineapple fried rice, tom yum goong, stir-fried broccoli with shrimp, and salt and pepper fried prawns. The flavors are authentically Thai, deliciously spicy, and absolutely worth it. The ambiance of the restaurant is fantastic, with ocean views adding to the romantic atmosphere, perfect for a real date night.

For breakfast, The Sea Restaurant & Bar offers an a la carte menu, allowing you to choose until you’re satisfied. The dishes come in small portions, perfect for sharing and trying a variety of items. Additionally, the restaurant sets up a small buffet table for bread, grilled items, tea, coffee, milk, yogurt, and fruits. The ambiance of this dining area is chic, resembling a seaside café. The food is excellent, the flavors delightful, and the atmosphere charming.

Traveling to Bang Saphan offers another advantage besides tranquility and the opportunity for a slow-paced seaside life. Here, you can also enjoy the benefit of reasonably priced food that doesn’t compromise on quality. The seafood is exceptionally fresh and of high quality, and the accommodation is affordable. I really like it here. It feels like a true day off, where I can completely relax. SEAnery Beach Resort in Bang Saphan truly provides an outstanding and memorable holiday experience.
