Nui Beach, also known as Water Beach Club, is one of those secluded paradise beaches with barely any people on it. With its remote and hard-to-reach location, few people know about it, but there is a new attraction that may make this beach more popular; I’m talking about a playground for pose loving people with a couple of swings, nests, etc. — probably inspired by those in Bali.
Got a thing for tropical islands? I feel you. There is something exciting about them. Something you associate with total relaxation. That’s why a trip to Thailand is high on many holiday wish lists. Below are 17 Thai islands I have visited that could be some kind of inspiration for your next vacation.
Bon Island, or Koh Bon as in Thai, is a small beautiful island with a tiny beach and a restaurant situated at the northern part. Despite the close distance to Rawai Beach on Phuket’s southern coast, few people visit the island making it a perfect getaway — especially if you’re staying in Rawai as we did.
Ao Luek is a lesser-known district in the northern part of Krabi province which has gained popularity the last year thanks to a newly built pagoda standing 109 meters tall. But visiting Ao Luek only for a temple would be a shame because this area including Than Bok Khorani National Park is offering so much more. Below I’m giving you six reasons to visit Ao Luek, including the stunning Pagoda.
Aonang Fiore Resort is a relatively new hotel, completely surrounded by nature 10 minutes away from Ao Nang Beach in Krabi. The resort has 79 bungalows and rooms nestled on a hillside overlooking the lush greenery and breathtaking limestone mountains, making you feel one with nature. There is also a flower-filled park and organic garden in harmony with the environment perfect for a stroll. The hotel offers golf carts to take you up and down your room, which you will need depending on how high up you’re staying. The higher up, the better the view.
Royal River Kwai Resort & Spa, located on the River Kwai 10 minutes west of the famous bridge, is a lovely oasis in Kanchanaburi. We stayed one night for free as we had enough Agoda points to cover the room rate of around $50 when we made a trip to this area a few months ago. I have no hesitation in giving my best recommendations for this place; the clean and cozy rooms, the super friendly staff, the gorgeous pool in the beautiful tropical garden and the spa. And the room rates are unbeatable!
Massage Corner in Ao Nang is a hidden gem located at the end of a side street on Klong Haeng Road out of sight of the hustle and bustle of Ao Nang. Holding onto a reputation of being the best massage center in Ao Nang, we knew we had to try them out. We went here just after opening at 10 in the morning and were met by warm smiles.
Phuket is known for its long white sandy shores, but if rocky beaches are your thing, you won’t be disappointed.
