Panwa, the tranquil zone of Phuket, with its clear blue sea and fine white sand beaches, is indeed a highly desirable destination. In this area, there are numerous luxurious 5-star hotels to choose from. Today, we will introduce you to the “Pullman Phuket Panwa Beach Resort,” a 5-star beachfront accommodation. It offers private villas and a wide range of activities and amenities for your enjoyment and relaxation.

From the drone footage, you can see that the beach is incredibly inviting. Its main highlights include its fine sand and gentle waves, perfect for swimming. In the mornings, the resort offers trips to explore marine life, where you can see small starfish, crabs, and various sea creatures along the shoreline. The abundance of marine life on the beach indicates the richness of this area’s ecosystem.

“Pullman Phuket Panwa Beach Resort” welcomes us with a breathtaking sea view visible from the lobby, along with a list of breakfast items served in the style of a floating breakfast. It’s definitely exciting, and you’ll want to capture some stunning photos for sure.

Our accommodation is the Pool Villa Andaman View, situated beachfront with a private pool. After enjoying a dip in the pool, we can easily run down to the beach for some sea play.

Upon seeing the bathtub placed in the middle of the bathroom, I couldn’t help but exclaim in awe! The bathroom is beautifully constructed, featuring a walk-in closet and his and her basins, which I particularly love. It’s so convenient, especially with all the women’s toiletries that tend to accumulate. It makes washing, makeup, and hair styling much easier. As for the body lotion and shampoo from “Pullman Phuket Panwa Beach Resort,” they are consistent across all the hotels in the chain, which I really appreciate. I’ve tried them and I’m impressed!

For the rooms located within the main building, they also have options available. Like this one, the Deluxe Seaview room, where you can enjoy a view of the sea from a higher vantage point. The room size is just right, and the bed is as comfortable as those in the Pool Villas. The sea view is simply stunning.

The swimming pool at Pullman Phuket Panwa Beach Resort is designed as an infinity pool, with cascading layers gradually descending.

There is a pool bar and a pavilion for relaxation.

Paddle boarding activities are provided free of charge.

The beautiful sea surrounds us at “Sai Daeng Resort Koh Tao” where accommodation is perched on a hilltop, separating itself from the hustle and bustle. The resort is situated on a high promontory that extends downward above the sea, which transitions from clear blue skies to deep blue hues. One can clearly see the silhouette of Shark Island.

The beach at Sai Daeng Resort has a semicircular shape, with fine white sand. The water is clear, allowing for visibility of small sharks and various types of fish.

The clear and calm water allows for snorkeling to observe the coral reefs, and you can also swim out and lounge on the bamboo raft floating in the middle of the sea.

Due to its promontory shape extending into the sea, there are two coastlines at Red Sand Resort: the Beautiful Rock Bay and the Deep Bay. One side features a sandy beach with clear water suitable for snorkeling, while the other side boasts beautiful coral formations, although it lacks a natural beach. The resort creates an artificial sandy beach on this side, where guests can sunbathe, swim, and snorkel. There are also rocky outcrops where you can climb up for scenic views, but caution is advised while climbing.

With its distinctive landscape design, each villa at the hotel offers unobstructed, picturesque views, ensuring privacy and tranquility. Guests who come to stay can fully immerse themselves in nature’s beauty.

This is the hotel lobby. The hotel provides shuttle service to and from the Koh Tao Island pier, divided into rounds according to the boat schedules. Please inform the hotel in advance of the arrival time of your boat.

Your accommodation is the Deluxe Ocean View Balcony room, featuring a spacious balcony offering clear and stunning views of the sea. Inside, the room is equipped with a sofa bed, a large bathroom with a bathtub, and amenities such as a refrigerator, television, and minibar. The ambiance feels like a private villa.

The infinity pool overlooking the panorama is another remarkable feature that would surely impress anyone who visits. I’ll provide various snapshots of the pool ambiance at different times for you to enjoy.

It sounds like you particularly enjoy the serene ambiance of the tree-lined path with its graceful arching bridge. It’s a beautiful and tranquil spot indeed.

Notice that Sai Daeng Resort stands out with its variety of trees and beautiful, chic gardens. Every corner is picture-perfect and worth capturing.

For the best evening ambiance, you must dine at the beachside restaurant of Red Sand Resort. Today, we’re enjoying Japanese-style cuisine.

This dish is the Spicy Tuna and Salmon Poke Bowl, a set that includes fresh raw fish, which is both satisfying and incredibly enjoyable.

Grilled Salmon Steak in Green Curry Sauce combines perfectly cooked large pieces of salmon with the delightful flavor of green curry sauce.

For a healthier option, you might want to include some vegetables. In this dish, if you’re watching your weight or prefer something lighter, you can opt for Uncle’s Som Yum Salad.

And don’t forget to celebrate your relaxing day with a refreshing cocktail!

Under the starry night sky at twilight…

Good morning! Starting the day with a beautiful view from the dining room and high-quality breakfast options, both Asian and Western, sounds absolutely delightful.

It’s a truly perfect day of relaxation on Koh Tao Island.

I want to travel in a way that forgets everything about work, forgets all the stress, and head to Intercontinental Phuket for guaranteed 5-star fun. On this trip, we won’t think about anything other than eating and exploring. We’ll be busy snapping photos and updating stories because there are plenty of chic corners to capture.

“Intercontinental Phuket” is a newly opened 5-star hotel that combines the magnificence of paradise and the earthly concept, located along Kamala Beach. The hotel is divided into 2 zones. The “Buddha” zone is situated right by the beach, allowing guests to enjoy stunning beaches like Kamala Beach where swimming is possible, and the beachfront is wide with beautiful sea water.

As for the ‘Paradise’ zone, it will be located on the opposite side of the resort. The hotel has constructed an underground tunnel with shuttle services to transport guests to the Paradise zone. This zone is grand and magnificent, truly living up to its name as a paradise zone.

For the lobby, during our visit, we will utilize the lobby area in the Club Lounge of the Buddha zone, which is located by the sea. This serves as a temporary lobby.

The original lobby will be a large, luxurious building located in the Paradise zone, decorated with a clean, elegant white color scheme, exuding grandeur. There will be plenty of picturesque corners for photography.

Above the lobby, guests will have a clear view of the ‘Paradise’ building, with the topmost floor featuring an infinity pool and stylish seating areas where guests can enjoy watching the sunset.

The accommodations in the Paradise zone are intricately designed with captivating details, making it a hidden gem. With luxurious amenities and stunning vistas, it offers an unparalleled experience for guests seeking tranquility and indulgence.

Many people would probably like to go and see inside the ‘Paradise’ building. Come on, let’s go take a look!

And here is our room, the Club Intercontinental Pool View Room, located in the Buddha zone, beachfront area. This room comes with exclusive Club Intercontinental privileges, allowing access to the club lounge. From this room, you can enjoy views of both the pool and the sea. The bed is soft, there’s a bathtub, and with the hotel being newly opened, all amenities in the room are brand new. The minibar is fully stocked with everything except alcoholic beverages.

And this is the view from our room balcony.

If anyone prefers to stay in a pool villa and seeks tranquility, I would recommend the 1 Bedroom Club Intercontinental Pool Villa in the Paradise zone, with mountain views amidst a tropical garden. It offers quiet privacy, luxurious decoration, and comfortable amenities. The villa includes a spacious bedroom, private pool, bathroom, relaxation pavilion, walk-in closet, and beautifully landscaped garden, providing a balanced and serene environment.

Most of the main facilities are located in the Buddha zone, and today we’re here to enjoy the Sunday Brunch at Jaras restaurant. The restaurant offers both Beach View and Pool View, with a very chill atmosphere that makes you want to stay all day. Intercontinental Phuket’s Sunday Brunch is served as a set menu, each course carefully curated for quality and taste. Let’s start with the first course. The appetizers feature a Thai fusion, with the standout being the Thai papaya salad. It’s served with grape seaweed, adding a unique twist to the classic dish. The flavors are well-balanced, with a perfect blend of sour, salty, spicy, and sweet. You definitely have to try this dish. Another must-try dish that stands out is the pork larb, served with crispy rice crackers, offering a delicious salty taste. The rest of the menu is equally enticing, and with so much food served, just one course is enough to make us feel satisfied.

And the main course is absolutely fantastic, especially the Lobster Pasta. The pasta is homemade here, and the bread and pasta are infused with yeast for added flavor and goodness, resulting in a unique texture that’s unlike any other. The lobster is perfectly crispy and tender, making it a delight to eat. However, by this point, you’ll have to save some room for the next course because the main dishes just keep coming. Italian, Thai, Japanese, French, you name it, they have it all. Our favorite dish is the Thai stir-fried noodles, bursting with all three flavors perfectly balanced. The noodles are cooked just right—not too soft, not too firm, just perfect. The pizza has a thin crispy crust, freshly baked and fragrant with cheese. And the quality of the Japanese salmon is impeccable, tender and full of flavor.

Today’s desserts include sticky rice with mango and Nutella pizza, both of which are truly worth it for a brunch priced at 1,900++ per person. Additionally, they provide a bottle of rose wine for every two persons, along with mineral water.

After finishing our meal, we head to Pine, located by the poolside, to enjoy some beachside music. Pine offers a DJ playing tunes while we relax by the pool.

If you book a room that comes with Club Access service, they will provide an afternoon tea with homemade pastries. This is definitely not to be missed! In addition to this benefit, the club also offers complimentary non-alcoholic beverages from 6:30 am to 10:00 pm. During the period from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, there will be a service of alcoholic beverages by the Sommelier, classic cocktails, sparkling wine, and canapés. Moreover, you can also enjoy breakfast at the club lounge. This exclusive benefit allows for a more private and intimate dining experience.

The Club Lounge features a private pool area and sunbathing lounges where you can relax and enjoy the ocean views in a more secluded setting. From the images, you can see the main pool, which is a large pool, while the Club Lounge pool is a long rectangular pool with a blue hue.

Sati Spa & Wellness – anyone who has tried it will be captivated. Relieve exhaustion and fatigue with the recommended lavender-scented massage oil. It’s soothing and relaxing.

The perfect end to the day is watching the sunset at Pine, accompanied by firefly lights and lively music from the DJ. It’s a fantastic atmosphere, and you can tell that everyone is thoroughly enjoying this moment.

And with the truly delicious flavors of the papaya salad and pad Thai, we couldn’t resist ordering another round in the evening. I can’t emphasize enough how delicious they are and how much I want everyone to try them like we did.

For breakfast, we enjoyed an a la carte menu at the club lounge. We had congee and steamed dumplings with crab sauce, as well as smoked salmon Benedict. It was a fantastic breakfast that gave us a great energy boost.

It’s a blissful trip in paradise and Buddha at Intercontinental Phuket Resort.

On weekends with only 2 days off, there’s still plenty of time for a trip to Kamphaeng Saen, Nakhon Pathom province. Hotelandresortthailand recommends ‘Chawalun Resort’ for accommodation, offering a variety of activities for us to enjoy during our stay. For those with limited time who want to relax and escape the city, ‘Chavalan Resort’ is the perfect choice for a joyful getaway.

“Chawalun Resort” offers a cozy atmosphere with several prominent highlights. Check-in starts as early as 2:00 PM, so we arrived right on time to fully utilize the resort’s facilities and activities.

This is our room named ‘Moonlight Room,’ situated by the riverbank, elegantly decorated. The bed is soft and comfortable, equipped with a television and a refrigerator. The bathroom features a bathtub and a rainfall shower. Stepping out onto the balcony, you can enjoy a view of the swimming pool.

Before engaging in other activities, let’s recharge with a light lunch at the Sky Pavilion restaurant. They offer simple yet delicious menus.

The large pool with cool breeze invites you to relax and dip your feet in the water, or perhaps even paddle around on a duck float. It’s sure to bring joy and happiness.

The resort’s swimming pool features a water slide that can be enjoyed by both adults and slightly older children.

The resort boasts vast grounds with various picturesque spots, and this bridge is considered another highlight.

There’s a cozy coffee shop by the riverside.

There’s a pool table available.

There’s a delightful and shady garden.

Due to being a large resort, there are various types of accommodations available to cater to families and large seminar groups. Another room I’d like to recommend is the ‘Leelawadee’ or Deluxe Garden View room. It offers a luxurious ambiance with a splendid garden view, perfect for a relaxing stay.

Bangkok Gallop Rattanakosin and Ratchapruk.

As for the Nakkrat room, it offers a vibe similar to enjoying the breeze while admiring the bridge. Its design resembles lounging on a luxurious pier.

Escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, recharge overnight for two nights. On the way back, make stops to visit the Moonlight Palace, Lamphaya Floating Market, Don Wai Floating Market, or pay homage at Phra Pathom Chedi. In those areas, there are plenty of dining and sightseeing options, offering delicious food to satisfy your appetite.

There might not be anywhere clearer than Dusit Buncha Resort to see Nangyuan Island so distinctly. The accommodation we’ll be exploring today is situated on a distinctive hill that characterizes Turtle Island. Apart from offering balcony views of Nangyuan Island, it also serves as a fantastic spot for snorkeling with a myriad of fish species in the crystal-clear waters.

“Dusit Buncha Resort” offers shuttle services for guests, picking them up from the pier and taking them to the resort. The route involves a gradual ascent up a hill, eventually leading to the spectacular rock formation marking the entrance to the resort. This is another distinctive feature of the resort. After passing through these two giant rocks, guests can immediately enjoy breathtaking views of the million-dollar scenery.

Our accommodation is the Hillside Seaview room, which offers an exceptionally stunning view. The highlight is the spacious balcony with seating, perfect for enjoying the sea view, particularly the prominent and clear view of Nangyuan Island.

If you’re coming with family, there are family rooms available. These rooms typically have separate sleeping areas, a sitting area, a balcony for enjoying the view, and a bathroom. The villas, which are constructed on rocky terrain, often incorporate large rocks as part of the room’s walls, giving them a unique and distinctive ambiance.

Dusit Buncha has also developed a new zone featuring hotel-style buildings located near the newly constructed swimming pool. Every room in this zone offers a view of the sea.

Thai massage is also available.

And then the awaited moment arrives: the sunset. At Dusit Buncha, there are various romantic viewpoints during this time. You can stroll along the wooden bridge perched on rocky cliffs, dine at the resort’s Sunset Restaurant, or simply sit atop natural rock formations. Whichever spot you choose, the ambiance is undeniably magical.

Or you can enjoy the stunning sunset while swimming, which is equally beautiful as any other viewpoint. Just one day of stay here is not enough, I must say.

The most romantic dinner at the Sunset restaurant will be during the last rays of light before the sun dips into the sea. This time is truly a special and magical moment.

The sea in the morning on Turtle Island is simply breathtaking with its azure blue waters.

With a view like that, you definitely have to go for a swim!

I want to say that the view of Nangyuan Island is incredibly clear, especially in the early morning. The sea is exceptionally beautiful and special.

I recommend that the best time for snorkeling is in the morning because there will be many fish swimming around the rocky cliffs, and they are often not yet timid. If you venture closer to the rocks, you’ll be amazed at the variety of colorful fish waiting to be discovered.

If you dive underwater, you’ll see approximately this many fish.

After finishing your dive, it’s the perfect time to satisfy your hunger. Here, breakfast is served in a cozy island atmosphere with outdoor dining tables offering a sea view.

With the vastness of the resort and its distinctive landscape, we just have to say that even two nights aren’t enough to fully enjoy the bliss. It’s a place you come to and never want to leave. “Dusit Buncha Resort”

If the theme of your visit to Koh Tao Island this time is tranquility, pure relaxation, and immersing yourself in nature without hesitation to trek through the jungle, you’re likely to fall in love with it just like us – “Koh Tao Bamboo Huts”. It’s a paradise reached on Koh Tao Island, with an experience that truly can’t be found anywhere else. There’s nowhere else that brings us closer to the sea, rugged cliffs, and lush hills as much as here. Accommodation in traditional bamboo-thatched huts on giant cliffs, with the sea as the front scene and mountains as the backdrop, offers an unparalleled experience.

Encountering such a view feels almost magical. You can sit and gaze at it for hours without getting bored.

The villas are constructed and arranged in a cascading manner, following the rugged cliff landscape.

The bamboo villas, now equipped with private swimming pools, are indeed the best. The pool offers the most beautiful view imaginable, being a large infinity pool that provides utmost privacy. Whether you want to swim and admire the sea during the daytime or float and stargaze in the evening, undisturbed by anyone, it’s truly a perfect setting.

Inside, all amenities are provided for complete convenience. Being situated on the island in a relaxed manner, you can immerse yourself in the natural ambiance by the sea.

Even villas without pools can be decorated similarly, offering equally stunning views that rival those with private swimming pools.

The bathrooms are beautifully hidden, resembling a mysterious cavern waiting to be explored. It feels like bathing in a cave.

Or you can opt for a rain shower, which provides an invigorating and refreshing feel.

A million-dollar view from a balcony, but paying only a fraction of that price? Absolutely worth it.

Just imagine waking up in the morning to this view, stepping up to wash your face at this very spot. You’d almost never want to leave home.

“La Isla Pranburi Beach Resort” is located in Pranburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan province, situated near the Phraya Nakhon Cave in the heart of the fishing village.
