We are taking advantage of amazing rates and the ability to travel in country to enjoy Thailand before it (hopefully soon) goes back to normal. The MO has a p...
The going rate before Covid was 500 TBH per hour or (go figure) 2000 - 2500 for a full day tour. All taxi drivers will offer this but make sure the one you se...
I don't think you'd get up to Sandalwood on a moped unless you are expert. Even a normal car might struggle. It is very steep. Rent a 4x4.
New, new for later this year is the Hyatt Regency. They put the sign up over the last week so hopefully will happen. Might be some soft opening deals.
Full disclosure we love Six Senses in Samui. It is near our home and we are regular visitors. We have stayed there when building two houses and enjoyed many (...
Note to self don’t pull up at a five star *super hotel* in scruffy clothes and looking like you’ve been dragged through a hedge backwards (we’d come off a windy...
Incredible first impression created by reaching out and offering not only an early check in but - had we wished it - a 9am one. Beautiful entranceway with a ...
Intercontinental and similar large brands wouldn’t normally be on my radar but given the world as it is Kamala Beach had been recommended as a good option for a...
Staying here was a homage to our first visit to Phuket in 1997 when we had a fantastic holiday at what was the Laguna Beach Club – probably a 3 or 4 star facili...
Couldn't agree more re resilience of the Thais. Also Phuket is stunning.. I just think that the tap isn't going to be a flood - more of a drip, trickle then m...
We’ve had a place on Samui for over fifteen years and have flown over to Phuket a few times for a change in scene – but we have never driven. I can safely say ...
We live in Samui and have been on the island mostly since last March. We’ve nipped to Bangkok and Koh Phangan but each time we wanted to head west were thwarte...
Also time of year is material as the tides change. From (guessing but roughly) October to now the beach is narrow and you cannot walk on it but the rest of the...
Thanks guys. Yes I think I was looking a bit early. All seems green now so very excited to go on holiday :-))
We need a change of scene so are heading across to the west (finally - been in the planning for forever) from Samui. We don't need a lot of life just not co...
Does anybody know where I can find out good information on the up tp date rules for travelling between provinces? Red zones accepted. We want to drive from Su...
Hey Jim. Great minds think alike - and at exactly the same time LOL.
Please wait a while before making a decision and taking advice on your location or hotel. Chaweng is very wounded by the pandemic and unlikely to have recover...
There are some fabulous places right on the beach on one side of the village just next to the action but not fully in. One I remember is called Panu but there ...
I haven't stayed there but have eaten at Lanna in Bangrak and seen a room. They have two bedroom apartments which on the face ot things sound ideal for your p...
