Howdy! It’s been almost a year since I last updated my blog due to lack of material. But recently, when reading a post about the town of Khanom in Nakhon Si Thammarat, I realized that I have forgotten to write about our stay last year at Aava Resort & Spa situated at the beautiful Nadan Beach. And since Thailand is slowly opening up again as new coronavirus cases slow, I thought some people might be interested in new, quieter locations.
After blogging every week for some years now, my writing streak has come to an end. The reason is simply lack of material, and next year we will probably not go to Thailand for several reasons — one being that we want my wife’s family to come to visit us in Norway. And that should be pretty interesting considering they have never been outside Thailand.
I want to finish by saying thank you to those who have been reading my blog. And whenever we’re going back to Thailand, I will for sure start posting again. Below is my last material from our previous trip, and my last post in quite a while.
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. However, 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!
