| For beautiful beaches, the most gorgeous resort you could imagine, away from it all, but still close enough to civilisation to check out some local culture, temples, elephants etc go to Hua Hin and stay at Evason Resort.
Check out their website for detials. It is even better than it looks on the site. I have a very specific holiday / resort wish list and this met and exceeded all of them.
My wish list - beach, gorgeous pool area with views of beach, waiters and a bar, gorgeous rooms with space, verandah or courtyard and views or garden, nice products you actually want to use, day spa, good food and a choice of restaurants, cafes, bars etc. And friendly, helpful, unsnooty staff. This place has it all plus beautiful landscaped gardens, ponds with fish, I could go on and on... even the other people staying there were nice!
How to get there: fly to Bangkok then get a car transfer (about 3.5 hours) or you can fly in a little propellor plane which is another 30 mins flying time and then 30 mins drive at the other end.
I got a great deal on CX Holidays a few months ago. Would be worth checking if they are still offering packages there.
Bon voyage!  |
