Khao Sok National Park Thailand

Destinations, Family Adventure, Family Fun, Featured, Tented Camps, Thailandon September 11th, 20092 Comments

There is something about immersing your self in the depths of a rainforest, the vibrant colours, the evaporating rain water steaming through the canopy and the tumultuous jungle orchestra whose notes and cacophony can be heard throughout the day and night. Khao Sok, as Thailand’s largest national park and by far its largest rainforest, is no exception. read more

Koh Lanta – Southern Thailand

Destinations, Featured, Honeymoon Destinations, Koh Lanta, Private Retreats, Thailandon September 8th, 2009No Comments

A district within Krabi province below Phuket on the Thai Malay peninsula, Koh Lanta Noi and Koh Lanta Yai are two of fifty two islands that make up the archipelago and are the easiest to access by boat from the mainland. As Koh Lanta has only very recently begun its tourist development you still find long stretches of mangrove interrupted by coral rimmed beaches. In 1990, the Koh Lanta National Marine Park was established to protect the fragile coastal environment. The Marine Park incorporates 15 of the 52 islands and covers an area of 134 sq km. read more

Khao Lak – Southern Thailand

Destinations, Featured, Thailandon September 8th, 2009No Comments

For a completely different and quieter experience than Phuket or Krabi venture to Khao Lak where the scene is less developed and the natural beauty entirely comparable with jungles in the background and the Similian Islands in the foreground. A small fishing village, Khao Lak is best known for its commodious stretch of quiet, exquisite beach. With Khao Lak National Park to the rear and Khao Sok National Park just an hours drive away, its proximity to the Similian Islands, with their renowned dive and snorkelling sites, make Khao Lak ideal for scuba divers and jungle adventure as well. read more

Northeast Thailand (Isaan)

Featured, Isaan, Thailandon August 28th, 2009No Comments

“I thought I knew Thailand – Bangkok, the hills, the beaches – and was slightly tired of what I knew. Or more specifically, I was fed up with the countless visitors, and the industries set up to cater for their needs. Isaan proved a breath of fresh air in all senses.” Sasha Bates, Thailand’s Isaan Province: a breath of fresh air by the Mekong, The Daily Telegraph (UK). read more

The Chedi, Chiang Mai Review

Chiang Mai, Featured, Thailandon July 27th, 20091 Comment

Think Chiang Mai and images are conjured of glistening temples, the historic Lanna culture, of hill tribes and markets overflowing with traditional handicrafts.  Few associate words like “Hip”, “Trendy” and “Design” with Chiang Mai, a city founded by King Mangrai in 1296 which once served as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom.  But woven into Chiang Mai’s history is a passionate relationship with art which over the last few years has undergone something of a renaissance. read more
