Visiting Amphoe Sam Phran, Nakhon Pathom province, you’ll find that this province isn’t just famous for its “sweet pomelo, jasmine rice…” No, sir! Amphoe Sam Phran, Nakhon Pathom, is renowned for its culinary delights. Here, you’ll find reasonably priced fruits, high-quality signature dishes at local eateries, and plenty of hip cafes. Each place has its own unique charm, tempting you with diverse choices. You can definitely explore a different spot every day for a month, without repeating, guaranteed!

Exploring Sam Phran for a one-day trip is truly comfortable. However, if you’re tired of the hustle and bustle of city life and want to change the atmosphere for an overnight stay, Hotelandresortthailand recommends “Suan Sampran” as the best accommodation option in the Sam Phran area. Located by the Tha Chin River, you can enjoy the most beautiful sunset in the river’s curve, surrounded by nature, waterways, trees, and the local community’s way of life. Besides relaxing by the riverside at “Suan Sampran,” you’ll also be close to interesting tourist attractions such as Rai Khing Temple, Don Wai Floating Market, Phra Pathom Chedi, and Bangsai Royal Palace. Moreover, the drive from Bangkok takes only 1 hour, making it a convenient and enjoyable trip for your day off!

“Suan Sampran” is a hotel that has been providing services for a long time at very affordable prices, starting at just 2,000++ baht. The buildings and beautiful gardens are well-maintained. For those who love nature, lush greenery is everywhere you look. It’s a high-quality oasis near Bangkok, offering an organic atmosphere and various Thai cultural activities. It’s safe to say that you’ll definitely fall in love with this place!

What’s even more impressive is the cleanliness measures here. We were highly impressed with their strict hygiene protocols. Before check-in, guests must pass through screening points where body temperature is checked and detailed health histories are recorded. Additionally, thorough disinfection measures are conducted both inside and outside the hotel premises. Staying at “Suan Sampran,” we felt reassured and relaxed, knowing that their exceptional prevention standards are in place. It’s truly a comforting and worry-free experience, allowing us to enjoy our trip with peace of mind.

There is hand sanitizer available at every point along the walkway.

Let’s check in at the lobby first. It’s truly beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable for the eyes.

Let’s go check out the rooms. We’re staying in a Superior room by the riverside, which is 26 square meters and suitable for 2 guests (twin beds). The balcony offers a view of the Tha Chin River curve. This room is the starting room type.

We were very excited to go and capture beautiful pictures and immerse ourselves in the lovely atmosphere at ‘De Chaochom Hua Hin’. Before going, we saw many beautiful corners on the hotel’s page and website, and upon arrival, we were not disappointed. It was as beautiful as depicted in the pictures. What’s more, this trip resulted in a lot of photos. We absolutely loved the relaxing, tranquil day. Perhaps it was because it’s located near the royal palace, adding to the peaceful ambiance. During this trip, we were able to fully enjoy the stunning sea views, the infinity pool stretching out towards the sea, the private villa with its own pool, and the soft beds.

Greetings! Let’s start off with the iconic landmark of the resort, almost everyone wants to take a picture here. But we’re taking it up a notch by borrowing bicycles to capture the moment.

It took a long time to reach the room from the lobby because along the way, there were too many cute corners to take playful pictures.

Our room is a pool villa with a private swimming pool. The surrounding fence provides excellent privacy, ensuring that no one sees us while swimming. The interior of the room is very spacious, with a luxurious and soft bed. The bathroom is particularly impressive, with a large bathtub, perfect for relaxation, and it’s as spacious as the bedrooms.

Here’s an inspiring story behind the name of the resort, “De Chaochom Hua Hin.” Originally, it was a significant place for the royal family, specifically for the mother and grandmother of King Rama V. There were old wooden houses transported from Wang Thewes Palace in Bangkok to be constructed here. These were the “Luk Mai” and “Mettha” houses. The resort has preserved the original architectural structures and has continuously maintained and upgraded them to ensure a comfortable and convenient stay for hotel guests.

If you want to see a beautiful beach in the heart of Pattaya, you should visit Wong Amat Beach. The water here is crystal clear, especially on sunny days when the sea sparkles even brighter than usual with beautiful shades of blue. The wide and long sandy beach is perfect for leisurely walks and swimming. It’s definitely another top hit beach in Pattaya.

The hotel where we stay has a great location right by the beach, and the rooms offer a sea view. It’s the ‘Pattaya Modus Beachfront Resort’.

You can also see the Sanctuary of Truth nearby.

The hotel is an Industrial Loft-style establishment, uniquely decorated with an eccentric touch. It stands out as unparalleled in Pattaya, offering a bold, chic, and luxurious ambiance.

Nearby, there are small cafes perfect for enjoying coffee and pastries.

I highly recommend the Deluxe Ocean View room for the most stunning sea view experience. The balcony faces directly towards the sea, offering a wide space with a cozy sofa set for relaxation. The interior of the room is elegantly decorated, and it comes with a bathtub for added luxury.

If you’re looking for something grand, consider upgrading to the Premium Pool Access room by paying a bit extra. This room type offers direct access to the hotel’s swimming pool from the balcony, providing an elevated experience. Enjoy the luxury of stepping into the pool right from your room.

The spa services are available poolside, offering an outdoor spa experience.

The resort features multiple swimming pools catering to different levels, including a children’s pool, an adult pool, and a whirlpool. Additionally, there are sun loungers available poolside for relaxation.

The lighting at the swimming pools during the evening is exceptionally beautiful.

The resort’s facilities are comprehensive, catering to all needs, including a Kids Club to delight the children.

 And there’s also the E-Zone that older kids might enjoy, and adults can also join in the fun.

For those who enjoy exercising, come this way to the stylish fitness center with a cool atmosphere.

As the evening sun sets low, take the hotel’s glass elevator up to enjoy the view of the beach from a high vantage point. You’ll see Hat Wongamat Beach from another beautiful angle.

But for us to truly enjoy this kind of trip, we must indulge fully in the buffet breakfast at the Pattaya Modus Beachfront Resort. It offers both Thai and international cuisines, and even the noodles are delicious. Try everything and you’ll be satisfied enough to skip lunch.

Summary: This resort is highly recommended – great value for money, beachfront location, excellent breakfast spread. It’s another worthwhile option for those seeking relaxation by Wongamat Beach.

Another beauty that impresses everyone when visiting Samui is the opportunity to see the panoramic sea view from luxurious villas perched on the hills. And here, the sea view is breathtakingly beautiful, no less than anywhere else. “Merit Resort Samui,”  offers views that are truly stunning. The hotel is located on the eastern coast of Samui, where the area is quiet but not far from Chaweng Beach and Lamai Beach. The highlight of the “Merit Resort Samui” is that every villa offers a sea view, adorable prices, and most importantly, delicious food.

The resort’s check-in point is right at the front, which also doubles as a restaurant. This allows us to know that besides the captivating accommodation views, experiencing the cuisine of “Merit Resort Samui” at the Merit Life Cafe is something not to be missed. Everyone will get to enjoy million-dollar views along with top-notch food. The restaurant opens from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

The restaurant is situated atop a high cliff, overlooking villas arranged in tiers below. Can you see those rocky cliffs? We think this is something truly iconic. Even on the day we visited, when the weather wasn’t cooperating and the sky was overcast, it added a subtle charm to the sea’s ever-changing hues. Despite the moody weather, the sea still retained its allure.

We arrived around noon, just in time for lunch, and decided to indulge in a meal first. Given the wellness resort concept here, the food is meticulously prepared with an emphasis on organic vegetables grown on-site. We tried the mango shrimp salad with avocado, dressed in a slightly spicy and tangy sauce, and the seafood spaghetti stir-fry. It’s safe to say that being seafood on an island, the freshness of the seafood was outstanding, and the flavors were absolutely delightful. The burger was another highlight, featuring a big juicy beef patty topped with cheese, vegetables, and a side of crispy fries. We were so satisfied that we almost skipped dinner.

Mango smoothie served with large mango chunks and a hint of soda.

Let’s go check out the room! Our accommodation is the Deluxe Pool and Sea View, boasting a bathtub that’s simply irresistible. Soaking in the water while enjoying the view, who wouldn’t fall in love with a stay like this? However, I must say, staying in this room requires a bit of stamina because you’ll have to walk up and down stairs to reach the lobby or the dining area. Since the accommodation is perched on a cliff, if you prefer not to walk too much, you might want to opt for a room closer to the main facilities. It’s advisable to inquire about this before booking.

The room and bed face towards the sea.

If it’s just a plain Deluxe Villa, you’ll still have a sea view, but it might be partially obstructed, and you won’t get the full panoramic view of the panorama. However, in a Deluxe Seaview room, you’ll have an unobstructed view of the sea.

The Beachfront Sea View room is exceptionally beautiful, located right at the forefront by the beach. It’s romantically decorated, perfect for a honeymoon, and offers a lot of privacy.

The fitness center is located near the breakfast restaurant and the swimming pool.

The infinity pool is absolutely stunning, and it’s another spot where you can enjoy the view and take beautiful photos. Additionally, there is a children’s pool available.

For the spa, it’s recommended to book in advance. The spa here offers reasonable prices and excellent service. Massages are conducted in private rooms, ensuring tranquility and relaxation.

Dinner at “Merit Life Cafe” recommends the delicious and worthwhile seafood set. Grilled seafood set includes shrimp, crab, fish, squid, grilled fish, and cockles. No wonder why staying on the island is so enjoyable. The seafood is very fresh.

Let me recommend the main dishes first because they are the highlights, but the appetizers are also fantastic. I’m particularly drawn to the crispy fried prawns, which have a crunchy exterior and juicy interior, complemented by crispy noodles and sweet dipping sauce. As for the pork skewers, they’re exceptionally tender and go perfectly with the dipping sauce.

The dessert is authentic sago pearls from Phatthalung Province. It’s my first time trying sago pearls like this, and it’s quite different from those made from tapioca starch. Authentic sago pearls have a denser texture and a more fragrant aroma. They are incredibly delicious!

Waking up early to breathe in the fresh air, the freshness of the sea has a unique freshness, unlike the freshness of mist. You can feel the distinctive aroma, the refreshing cool breeze. Especially when accompanied by gentle sunlight, it feels like recharging your energy.

Start your day with a good feeling and some delicious breakfast at the “Cliff View Restaurant”. You’ll enjoy stunning sea views while indulging in a buffet-style (although currently served as an à la carte menu).

After a day filled with recharging ourselves, enjoying delicious food, and admiring the beautiful views of Koh Samui from our room and the hotel’s viewpoint all day long, even though we had to walk up and down the hill and felt a bit tired at times, we didn’t feel exhausted. A brief rest was all it took to rejuvenate, and we continued to have fun taking more photos. Let’s fill ourselves up with energy for another fantastic day on our trip to Merit Resort Samui.

My body craves the ocean. You just know when you’re dehydrated, it’s like your body’s way of telling you it’s missing something vital. That’s why for this trip, I couldn’t help but yearn for the sea so much. That’s why we chose to stay at ‘The Emerald Cove Koh Chang’ because it’s right by the sea, and the atmosphere is so private. It’s like being completely immersed in the sea atmosphere. With the beachside swimming pool, sun loungers, trees, flowers, and the room decor, it truly feels like a beach resort. I couldn’t shake off the longing for the sea, so here we are.

“The Emerald Cove Koh Chang” is located on Klong Prao Beach, one of the top-rated beaches on Koh Chang. The beach stretches up to 50 meters long, offering a serene and tranquil atmosphere, almost like having a private beach.

The resort is cozy and has a tropical atmosphere. Even before reaching the room, you can immediately relax and unwind in the surroundings.

The resort features three main pools, with the largest one designed to parallel the beach, resembling an infinity pool that stretches up to 50 meters long.

In addition, there are two other pools available: one for children and another one for Jacuzzi.

Our room is a Deluxe Premium Wing, which is 50 square meters wide and includes a bathtub and a balcony facing the sea. Although it’s a bit of a walk to reach the beach due to its location in the building zone, the sea view is still stunningly clear. It’s considered a room that offers good value for its price compared to the view and the amenities provided inside the room.

This room also offers a clear and stunning view of the sea, it’s a Deluxe Ocean Facing room.

The room with a clear view of the sea and spacious layout, consisting of a bedroom and a living area, is specifically designed to cater to those seeking luxurious accommodations. It’s known as the One Bedroom Ocean Facing suite, perfect for those desiring an upscale stay.

“Centara Chaan Talay Resort and Villas Trat” is located in Trat province. Initially, we imagined it to be in the town of Trat itself, but upon further investigation, it turns out to be a true hidden gem, with a secluded location that might not be widely known among general tourists. When people think of Trat, they usually think of Koh Chang Island predominantly. This is our first time here, and we must say we are extremely impressed with the exclusivity and tranquility of our entire stay at the resort. It feels like our own private space, with the resort situated by the sea, a private beach, few people, and a peaceful atmosphere.

At the front of the resort, there is a lobby area with a wooden bridge that allows guests to cross over and explore the garden.

Due to the large size of the resort, guests may need to take a shuttle bus to reach their accommodations.

The Tropical Suite, with a spacious 62 square meters, features separate areas for the bedroom, living room, and bathroom, all proportionately arranged. The villa is surrounded by lush greenery, creating a serene atmosphere.

Choosing the Tropical Family Suite for a family stay would be highly worthwhile. With a large enough bed to comfortably accommodate two people, the room size and decor are similar to that of the Tropical Suite.

The Honeymoon Suite comes with a jacuzzi tub, offering a view of the garden. The interior decoration is similar to that of the Tropical Suite.

The Beachfront Villa is our favorite room. It is located right by the beach, allowing us to enjoy views of the sea while soaking in the jacuzzi. We can easily walk down to the beach and have everything we need. Plus, it offers a high level of privacy.

The swimming pool is located right in front of the beach, seamlessly blending with the coastline.

The atmosphere when the sun sets is enchanting, beyond words to describe. Nowhere else in Tak province can you find such tranquility and breathtaking sunset views. We believe this place is truly the best for experiencing such beauty.

And it gets even better when you grab a cocktail and head straight to the Breezy Beach Bar. There, with a great cocktail in hand, you can enjoy the sunset to the fullest. It’s guaranteed to be an incredibly enjoyable experience.

For our dinner tonight at the Azur Restaurant, there’s an ambiance reminiscent of a Mediterranean seaside. They serve a delightful array of Thai cuisine, with incredibly fresh seafood as if it were just brought ashore. I highly recommend trying their fried sea bass with fish sauce. It’s a must-order dish!

Stir-fried crispy pork belly with broccoli, seafood hot pot with poached eggs, and chicken galangal soup—all of them taste delicious. Dining options outside the resort may be limited, but you can be confident in the resort’s offerings, which are not only delicious but also reasonably priced.

In the refreshing morning air, with the invigorating sea breeze and the scent of lush greenery filling the air, being here feels like a breath of fresh air, rejuvenating and energizing.

For breakfast, there is a selection of both Thai dishes, such as stir-fried vegetables, fried rice, and basil stir-fry, as well as Western-style options, focusing on egg dishes, sausages, bacon, bakery items, and pancakes.

This trip is a real relaxation getaway. We swam, strolled along the beach, played in the sea, enjoyed delicious food, and breathed in the fresh air so much that we didn’t want to leave. We’d like to invite you to try it out once, and you’ll be hooked just like us. “Centara Chaan Talay Resort and Villas Trat”

Our relaxation journey for this trip begins with a desire to change the scenery, heading towards the mountains, rivers, and perhaps catching a glimpse of waterfalls. Due to multiple beach trips in the past, this thought leads us to a simple and relaxing day amidst lush greenery, surrounded by our own private villa at Vorona Resort, Kanchanaburi.

Vorona Resort, Kanchanaburi rejuvenates us from exhaustion as soon as we arrive. Starting from the refreshing atmosphere of the towering trees providing shade, the pristine white color of the lobby welcomes us, and the intricate details of the charming decorations make us want to explore every corner of this delightful resort.

Our accommodation is a Riverside Cottage, situated right at the forefront by the river. The circular white villa amidst the trees provides a private retreat immersed in nature. Besides lounging by the riverside, one thing we particularly enjoy is the outdoor rain shower. It’s incredibly refreshing.

The resort is characterized by a long stretch along the riverbank. Our villa is located at the very end, so a short walk brings us to the Kwai River. In the early morning when the water level recedes, sandbanks like these emerge.

The atmosphere surrounding the resort.

The swimming pool is compact yet stylish, not overly extravagant.

I’d say there are plenty of chic photo spots around here.

Vanilla Sweet Restaurant is the dining venue here. Don’t miss out! Their food is incredibly delicious, featuring homemade dishes served dish after dish. Eating there feels warm and cozy, just like having a meal from home.

For the other accommodations, they are all villas as well. The main difference lies in the view. For example, the Vorona Cottage features a hammock for lounging just like this one. The highlight of these rear villas is their tranquility, surrounded by trees and conveniently located near various resort facilities. They are close to both the dining area and the swimming pool.

We really love the Vorona Room as well. It’s so charming and cozy. It’s a 50-square-meter villa with a private garden, which we adore.

The breakfast is simple yet heartwarming. The rice porridge is exceptionally delicious, and we particularly love the crispy and sweet cantaloupe. It’s a delightful touch that these products are locally sourced from Kanchanaburi province itself.

Staying at Vorona Resort, Kanchanaburi, you can spend the whole day at the resort without getting bored at all. Immerse yourself in nature to the fullest and wait until check out before heading elsewhere. Enjoy your time!
