Everywhere you look, it is like you have stepped into a Restoration Hardware catalogue, but with more colour. Blue skies, swaying palm trees coupled with a calming décor of teak furniture, cotton linens, smooth hardwood floors, cool marble bathrooms accented with rainbow coloured orchids. And every villa has its own private swimming pool. It's like having your own beach villa. We barely left our room, let alone the resort!
On the days we did leave the resort, one day was spent visiting the protected marine park. If you must do one touristy thing, this is highly recommended. The day was spent power boating, snorkeling, hiking, swimming, kayaking and of course, eating. The water looked so velvety and color was like a soft jade green. Just beautiful.
Another night was spent on the town taking in an authentic action packed Muay Thai fight card headlined by Rob from Canada. The stadium was loud, hot and smoky. The card had 7 fights, 5 which ended by brutal knocks out so time was well spent on a Tuesday night.
My one guilty indulgence - I spent 4 hours at a 5-star spa, for a fraction of what it would cost at home. Scrub, wrap, massage, facial were all words of the day. I did, however, draw the line when they suggested I sit in a pool where fish would nibble the dead skin off your body...yuck.
I can't believe I have only 3 more hours here before I spend the next 20 hours getting home. There have been very times in my life when I felt a trip was too short and Thailand was definitely one of them. If you are looking to plan a trip for your clients that they will never forget, I highly recommend booking them on 2 week trip to Thailand.
