Swadee Ka. Relax in the cool azure blue pool as you gaze out at the secluded stretch of warm white sands, only a few feet away with the spectacular green jungle as your back drop.
The pool bar in the centre of the pool will serve you anything from an ice cold Singha beer to a freshly made coconut lassi, sweetened to your taste.

If you prefer your fruit picked that morning you can buy a colossal bag of mouth-wateringly juicy pineapple or lychees from the 'wandering beach lady,' who does nothing more with her days than cut fruit from the trees in the morning and sell it on the beach that afternoon. The bags of fruit cost a mere 50 pence.
The resort sits on a secluded beach where many locals live. It is miles away from any busy streets or shops. The main street leading from the beach resort has 3-4 little shops, where you can buy things like cigarettes, sun creams and a few basic amenities.
All room rates are inclusive of breakfast. The resort restaurant serves excellent seafood- Thai and western cuisine, it is not included in the price of the room. It is quite a bit more expensive than the local restaurants for Thai cuisine. If you don't feel like dining in the resort restaurant there are several authentic Thai restaurants along the edges of the beach, you can dine for as little as a £2.
Be wary of the chillies, hot means hot. Being a complete chilli head I had the local Thai green curry, even though I had been pre warned that it is nothing like the British version. They weren't wrong. For a less fiery option try pad Thai, a mild vegetable noodle and omelette dish, or the evening barbeque of freshly caught seafood for dinner.

If all the peace and quite starts to become deafening you can head out on a speed boat to one of the local islands. If you feel like a spot of adventure there is a beautiful and untouched waterfall about 30 minutes walk away. You can have a secluded swim as you overlook the mountainous jungle.
For a spot of moonlight magic, a short speed boat ride will whisk you around to the other side of the island where you can, on one special night of the month attend the Full Moon Party. A bucket of island versions, whiskey and red bull will have you dancing on the sand until the sun rise.
