Silver Gold Garden Suvarnabhumi Airport Hotel, Bang Na/Suvarnabhumi Airport

Silver Gold Garden Suvarnabhumi Airport Hotel, Bang Na/Suvarnabhumi Airport

This is a very convenient located hotel within 10 to 15 minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport and it offers a free round trip transfer to/from the airport and it's very affordable. What else can you ask for.

I will use it tonight for a late arrival from Samui and an early departure from the airport, just perfect for my purpose this 4 story property with 67 rooms and suites.

The transfers from the hotel to the airport are every hour on the half hour and upon arriving at the airport, you may have to wait a bit before the transfer takes off. All in all worthwhile considering it's included in the rate.

There's a 24 hours Tesco Lotus branch opposite the hotel at the right hand side and a 7-11 at the left hand side as well as a night market and the hotel itself offers babysitting, business center, family room, hotel/airport transfer, laundry service/dry cleaning, meeting facilities , restaurant, room service, safety deposit boxes and WiFi (at a small surcharge). The hotel also has ample parking space available. Sounds about ideal to me!

The room amenities are also well taken care of; air conditioning, balcony/terrace, bathrobes, complimentary bottled water, desk, hair dryer, mini bar, non smoking rooms, satellite/cable TV, shower, television, television LCD/plasma screen and there's a small massage parlor attached to the hotel.

Can't beat this in my humble opinion for this price. An absolute winner at low cost! The rooms are small but do the job for a night and the reception staff was very efficient during my stay. I got a room at the ground floor, which was very convenient, be aware that the hotel does not have an elevator, getting to the room will be easy with staff help but getting out of a room might be more tricky unless you get staff involved. Biggest downside in mu opinion is the lack of free internet, similar hotels in the are do include this at similar rates. Until they change this policy they won't get my business anymore.

This Marriott resort has a dream location, along the white, almost untouched beaches of Khao Lak. The resort offers all the 5 star amenities one can and should expect for very reasonable prices. Special offers are on a regular base available.

The nearby Similan Islands undoubtedly provide the best dive sites in Thailand, while the three national parks (Khao Lak Lam Ru, Khao Sok, Sri Phang Nga) are perfect for treks-on foot and on elephants, rafting and canoeing.

Baan Lanta, Baan Kan Tiang Bay, Koh Lanta

Baan Lanta, Baan Kan Tiang Bay, Koh Lanta

This nice and small Resort and Spa is tucked away on Baan Kan Tiangs Beach, still one of Koh Lanta's best kept secrets. The first time I drove to Baan Kan Tiang, I thought I left the point of no return on the road a few times already and when you don't expect anything at all to show up anymore, all of a sudden, there's this little village in a valley as if it just walked out of a book! Later I found out that this still isn't the end of the world and the road actually continues for a little bit.

In this nice little valley is exactly where the Baan Lanta is located. Small, nice and very relaxed. With only 15 rooms, no need to be afraid that it will be overcrowded!

The view over the bay is astonishing and romantic at the same time and the restaurant at Baan Lanta has some tasty meals waiting for you.

The nice thing about the location is that although it's far away from everything else on the island, the valley has a few nice other things to offer, a 7-11 (very convenient!), some more restaurants and everything you may need to cover first things at hand. At night the 'why not' is not to be missed with their own band!

Scubafish is running a tight ship at the resort for all your diving necessities and their boats leave from the bay in season, how convenient does this get?

Time for a break, looking for a nice secluded bay in mid range prices, Baan Lanta may well be your choice.

Rawi Warin Resort & Spa Koh Lanta

Rawi Warin Resort & Spa Koh Lanta

Tucked into the foothills of the Koh Lanta Yai and overlooking the crystal waters of Klong Tob Bay in the Southern part of the island.

If you are looking for a quiet, battery charging holiday, this may be exactly your place but if you are interested in an action packed getaway, this is not for you.

The hotel boosts an excellent children care room and boasts an fantastic home movie theater, which you need to book in advance but you can watch your own movies in it, in a mini movie theater setting.

Outside of the premises is Aunty Mae's bakery which has 50% off on all cakes between 7 and 8pm.

The resort features its own pier for guests arriving from Krabi town which has a newly renovated airport. It is also possible to arrange exclusive dining whereby specially created menus can be prepared in the privacy of one of the villas. There's also a personal butler and staff on hand.

With over 10,000 trees and flowers planted in the landscaped gardens, you are likely to spend much time foraging through the resort grounds itself.

The Rawi Warin has 180 guest rooms and villas and especially in off season the rates are very attractive.

Be pampered in luxury for reasonable prices off season and enjoy the great weather during high season and get well rested in this luxury resort.

Holiday Inn Resort, Koh Phi Phi

Holiday Inn Resort, Koh Phi Phi

It's been a while since I've been to Koh Phi Phi, almost 12 years ago, late 1998, when the movie 'The Beach' was being filmed there, around the corner in Mango Bay and I was doing my PADI Divemaster course on Koh Phi Phi.

A lot has happened ever since, including the 2004 Tsunami that had an impact on Phi Phi.

One of my friends stayed at the Holiday Inn and really enjoyed it. There are 77 bungalows available, including garden, superior, family and beach bungalows on 20 acres of land. Interestingly, the rooms come without TV sets!

If you arrive at Phi Phi's Tonsai Bay, pretty much the only way to get to the resort is by a long tail boat transfer, since the resort is located at the Laem Tong Beach, about 9km away from Tonsai Bay.

Due to its location on the secluded Laem Tong beach, it's a very quiet and idyllic stay, far away from the hustle and bustle of Tonsai. It's rather pricey but very pleasant to stay here.

Narima, Baan Kan Tiang Bay, Koh Lanta

Narima, Baan Kan Tiang Bay, Koh Lanta

This lovely resort is located in the 'deep' South of Koh Lanta, far away from the 'hustle and bustle' of Saladan, the main town on the Northern shores of the Koh Lanta.

With natural beauty engulfing its modern composition, the Narima is sure to dazzle nature-lovers and casual travelers alike.

Located near the National Marine Park on the unspoilt south coast of the magnificent island of Koh Lanta, the hotel sits close to sandy beaches, crystal clear water and an amazing underwater world. My next IDC that I will teach, starting 27th October on Koh Lanta will be conducted in this resort!

All bungalows come with a spectacular ocean view are luxuriously appointed and decorated elegantly with dark wood furnishings, stylish fixtures, muted color schemes, and authentic artwork. The restaurants overlooking the beach include a wide range of traditional and international cuisines. Priding itself as a green hotel, The Narima preserved as many of the original trees and plants as possible. The bungalows are built around existing trees and only felled when absolutely necessary.
