Our hotel was lovely. It was owned by a Swiss who had fallen in love with Thailand (as well as a Thai woman I do believe!). Many of the hotels and restaurants were owned by Europeans who obviously loved Thailand so much they never left. Not that I can really blame them.
The hotel restaurant served both Thai and Swiss food, both of which were delicious, although, being in Thailand, we mostly stuck to Thai food. I did enjoy my Swiss breakfast though.
Our room had a private balcony with a lovely view of the ocean.
We were in a perfect location, right in the middle of everything. And directly across the street we could hop on a longtail boat which would take us to any one of the various surrounding islands that had more secluded beaches and up-scale resorts.
This cat was always in the hotel lobby and was usually sprawled out on this same chair every day. She was pretty friendly.
As I already said, the food was absolutely delicious. I had never had Thai food before, but now I love it! It has such a unique flavour. The place was also bursting with fresh fruit! Even on the beach, some of the locals would walk up and down selling pineapple on a stick. I was very excited to drink straight from a coconut for the first time.
I also drank from a pineapple!
The nearby convenience store had a plethora of chip flavours. The Mexican BBQ flavour was really good, and of course I had to try the salmon flavoured chips! It was a bit of a let-down. They weren't that great. Go figure.
But everything else was delicious. Jordan said his favourite part of the trip was the food! It ranks pretty high on my list too.
