<p>There is a moment, about twenty minutes after turning off the main road towards Tub Kaek Beach, when you start to wonder if Google Maps has finally lost its mind. The asphalt narrows. Plastic chairs outside shuttered minimarts stare back at you. And then, just as you begin to doubt everything, the road opens up to Ao Thalane. The Andaman Sea appears on your left. A small, unassuming wooden sign appears on your right. Le Passetemps. This is it. This is the secret. For Asian Itinerary, as part of our media trip to discover the real Krabi, we spent two nights at what I can only describe as the most soulful beachfront retreat in all of southern Thailand. Forget the sterile marble lobbies of five-star chains. Le Passetemps is not a hotel. It is a living, breathing archive of a life well-travelled. And it is absolutely explosive in its charm. A Museum That Breathes You do not &#8220;check in&#8221; at Le Passetemps. You arrive. The reception area is not a desk with a computer. It is a living museum. Every square inch of that open-air wooden pavilion tells a story. Antique Burmese puppets hang next to Indonesian ikat textiles. Vintage cameras sit beside hand-carved wooden Buddhas from Laos. Old maps of Siam share shelf space with Chinese porcelain. These are not props. These are personal treasures collected by the owners over decades of wandering across Asia. Every object has a journey. And here is the beautiful twist: many of these items are for sale. That handwoven scarf from Chiang Rai? Yours. That antique brass bowl from the Mekong Delta? Take it home. The reception is a gallery, a shop, and a time capsule all at once. The Heart of Le Passetemps But the soul of this place is found in people. Anais, the manager, greeted us like old friends. Not the rehearsed &#8220;welcome to our hotel&#8221; smile. A real one. Warm. Curious. She wanted to know where we had been, where we were going, and what we hoped to discover. The staff brought us a cold towel and a homemade welcome drink, and she handed us a genuine conversation. Anais and her team at Le Passetemps do not serve you because it is their job. They care for you because that is who they are. It is the kind of hospitality that makes you emotional on your last morning. The Bungalows: Colonial Elegance Our room. You walk up a short wooden staircase. You push open a heavy wooden door. And suddenly, you are no longer in 2026. You have stepped back to a time when travel was slow, deliberate, and romantic. The bungalow is constructed almost entirely of rich, dark wood. The floors creak in that comforting, honest way. Two single-sized beds sit draped in crisp white linens, flanked by antique bedside tables from who-knows-where. The windows open fully, inviting the salty sea breeze to dance through the room. But the details kill you. A hand-painted silk cushion from Luang Prabang. A ceramic lamp from a small village in northern Vietnam. Art from all over Asia, carefully curated. You are not staying in a room. You are sleeping inside someone&#8217;s beautiful memory. And yet, none of it feels like a museum. It feels lived-in. Loved. The AC works perfectly. The rain shower is hot and strong. The bed is so comfortable you will consider missing breakfast. (Do not. Breakfast is great.) Cozy, colonial, timeless. That is the only way to describe it. The Beach: Nature&#8217;s Umbrellas Most resorts claim to be &#8220;beachfront.&#8221; Then you discover that means a ten-minute walk down a concrete path. Not here. At Le Passetemps, the beach is literally at the bottom of the garden. The restaurant, Le Bac-à-Sable (French for &#8220;sandbox&#8221;), sits right on the sand. And here is the magic: ginormous, ancient trees spread their branches over the entire dining area like nature&#8217;s own parasols. You sit at your table, feet in the sand, shaded by a canopy of leaves that has been there for longer than anyone can remember. Sunlight filters through in golden patches. The sea breeze cools your skin. Gentle waves are your background music. Breakfast is served here every morning. Fresh tropical fruits. Made-to-order eggs. Strong Thai coffee. But honestly, you could serve me instant noodles at that table and I would still give it five stars. Because the view is the real meal. From your seat, you look out across the pristine, almost private beach. The sand is soft and clean. No jet skis. No speedboats. No crowds. Just the Andaman Sea stretching out, and in the distance, the silhouette of Cape Chamuk Kwai and of Koh Hong archipelago jutting into the horizon. It is the kind of view that makes you put down your phone and just&#8230; breathe. In the evenings, Le Bac-à-Sable transforms into an intimate dinner venue. The chef prepares authentic Thai cuisine and international dishes. And it never feels crowded. It feels like a private dinner party hosted by friends. The Travel Agency: Because They Care Le Passetemps runs its own travel agency on-site called Koh Largo. And unlike the generic tour desks everywhere else, this one is run by people who genuinely care. Anais and her team do not push the standard &#8220;Phi Phi Islands speedboat tour.&#8221; They ask what you love. Adventure? Culture? Wildlife? Then they curate something special. Private longtail boats to deserted islands. Kayaking through the mangroves of Thalane Bay. Trekking to hidden waterfalls. They know the secret spots because they have explored them themselves. The Verdict Le Passetemps is not for everyone. And that is exactly why you should book it. It is for the traveller tired of crowds. For the couple who wants romance without clichés. For anyone who understands that a great hotel does not need a marble lobby. It needs a heart. And Le Passetemps has the biggest heart on the Andaman coast. We came as part of our Asian Itinerary media trip. We left feeling like we had discovered something precious. Something rare. Something that reminded...</p>

<p class="p3"><a href="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7416.jpg" rel="prettyphoto[71299]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-71317 alignright" src="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7416-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7416-300x225.jpg 300w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7416-768x576.jpg 768w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7416-600x450.jpg 600w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7416-150x113.jpg 150w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7416-369x277.jpg 369w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7416-770x578.jpg 770w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7416.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Le Passetemps is not for everyone. And that is exactly why you should book it. It is for the traveller tired of crowds. For the couple who wants romance without clichés. For anyone who understands that a great hotel does not need a marble lobby. It needs a heart. And Le Passetemps has the biggest heart on the Andaman coast.</p>
<p class="p3">We came as part of our Asian Itinerary media trip. We left feeling like we had discovered something precious. Something rare. Something that reminded us why we started travelling in the first place.</p>

But if you go to Le Passetemps, you will have a story. Do not miss it.</p>

<p>As part of our ongoing quest to discover the hidden corners of Thailand, we decided it was time to leave the crowded beaches of Phuket and Ao Nang behind. We wanted that feeling of discovery again. So, for Asian Itinerary, we pointed our car north from the tourist hub of Krabi and drove towards the wilder coast of Ao Thalane. Often called the &#8220;Guilin of Thailand&#8221; due to its dramatic limestone karsts rising directly out of the emerald water, Ao Thalane (or Ao Tha Lane) felt like we had stumbled into a lost world. This wasn&#8217;t just about sightseeing; it was about immersing ourselves in the quiet rhythm of the mangroves. Here is the story of our 48-hour escape. Day 1: Jungle Canals and Sunset Seafood Our Home on the Beach: Le Passetemps We arrived in the late morning and checked into our sanctuary for the next two nights: Le Passetemps. Tucked away on the quiet Tub Kaek coastline, this wasn&#8217;t your standard Thai resort. It felt like staying at an eccentric, well-traveled friend&#8217;s estate. The property is intimate—just a handful of wooden bungalows scattered around a lush garden and a private beach. We immediately understood the positive reviews we had read online. Le Passetemps is peaceful, with a &#8220;Phuket of 20 years ago&#8221; vibe. The best part? They run their own travel agency on-site, which is incredibly convenient. They don&#8217;t just sell generic tours; they listen to what you want to do. After settling in, we took their advice and headed out for our first adventure. The Crystal Waters of Tha Pom Just a 20-minute drive from the resort lies a natural phenomenon you absolutely cannot miss: Tha Pom Khlong Song Nam (or Tha Pom Canal). This is a stunningly preserved natural park where a boardwalk winds through a pristine mangrove forest. The magic of Tha Pom is the &#8220;Canals of Two Waters.&#8221; As you walk the 700-meter wooden bridge, you look down into the clearest, most ethereal blue-green water I have ever seen. It looks like a natural swimming pool. And all around us, rising dramatically from the emerald greenery, were the tall karst mountains that Krabi is famous for—their limestone cliffs towering over the mangroves like ancient guardians. The view was simply breathtaking. We found the designated swimming area and jumped in. The water was cool and refreshing, flowing from a natural spring out to the sea. You can rent a kayak here too, but we opted just to float and stare up at the intertwining branches of the trees above. Lunch with a View at The Bay After working up an appetite swimming and hiking the nature trails, we drove to The Bay Thalane Restaurant. Located right on the estuary, this isn&#8217;t just a place to eat; it&#8217;s a front-row seat to the limestone canyon views. We grabbed a table overlooking the water. As we dug into fresh seafood and spicy Thai salads, we watched other kayakers paddling slowly through the channels. The atmosphere was laid-back, the ingredients were fresh, and the view of the karsts reflecting off the still water was mesmerizing. It was the perfect, relaxed lunch spot before our big day ahead. Day 2: Paddling the Canyon Thalane Bay Kayaking Expedition This was the main event. The next morning, with the sun high and the tide rising (crucial for navigating the mangroves), we returned to the bay and drove directly to the launch point at Thalane Bay. This is hands-down the best kayaking in Krabi. The route takes you deep into a labyrinth of towering limestone cliffs and narrow canyons. Paddling through the Din Daeng Canyon (sometimes called the &#8220;Green Canyon&#8221;) was surreal. The walls are steep, covered in dripping ferns, and the silence is only broken by the calls of birds and the splash of monitor lizards sliding into the water. We navigated through &#8220;hongs&#8221; (collapsed cave systems) where we floated in hidden lagoons completely enclosed by rock walls. It felt like being in a scene from Jurassic Park. Even if you are a beginner, the bay is protected from the open sea wind, making it an easy paddle. We spent about 3 hours exploring, including a stop at a &#8220;Monkey Beach&#8221; where we watched macaques playing in the trees. Final Thoughts &#160; If you want to see a side of Thailand that hasn&#8217;t been polished for the masses, go to Ao Thalane. Stay at Le Passetemps for the quiet vibes, cool off at Tha Pom for the unreal clear water, and paddle Thalane Bay for the adventure of a lifetime. One piece of practical advice before you go: always carry water with you. The Thai heat and humidity are no joke, especially when you are kayaking under the midday sun or hiking the nature trails at Tha Pom. There are small shops at the entrances of these parks, but once you are deep inside the mangrove canyons or floating in those hidden lagoons, there are no vendors in sight. Dehydration can sneak up on you quickly. We each carried a reusable 1.5-liter bottle, and we finished every drop by the time we returned to shore. Trust me, you will thank yourself later. It&#8217;s the perfect antidote to a busy city life. &#160; 📋 Practical Info Box 🌙 Le Passetemps Resort Website: www.lepassetemps-krabi.com (French/English). Price: 2,000–4,000 THB/night (depends on season &#38; room type). Features: 9 private bungalows, beachfront location, on-site restaurant &#8220;Le Bac-à-Sable&#8221; (Thai &#38; international cuisine, wine list, cocktails). Direct booking benefits: Lowest rates guaranteed, 10% loyalty discount, free room upgrade (subject to availability), welcome drink. 🚣 Thalane Bay Kayaking Price: 300–500 THB (self-guided rental) / 800–1,000 THB (guided 3-hour tour). Tip: Go at high tide to enter the narrow canyons.

<p class="p1">This is hands-down the best kayaking in <a href="https://asianitinerary.com/category/thailand/krabi/"><strong>Krabi</strong></a>. The route takes you deep into a labyrinth of towering limestone cliffs and narrow canyons. Paddling through the Din Daeng Canyon (sometimes called the &#8220;Green Canyon&#8221;) was surreal. The walls are steep, covered in dripping ferns, and the silence is only broken by the calls of birds and the splash of monitor lizards sliding into the water.</p>
<p class="p1">We navigated through &#8220;hongs&#8221; (collapsed cave systems) where we floated in hidden lagoons completely enclosed by rock walls. It felt like being in a scene from <i>Jurassic Park</i>. Even if you are a beginner, the bay is protected from the open sea wind, making it an easy paddle. We spent about 3 hours exploring, including a stop at a &#8220;Monkey Beach&#8221; where we watched macaques playing in the trees.</p>
<h3 class="p1" style="text-align: right;"><b>Final Thoughts<br />

<div id="attachment_71286" style="width: 361px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7400.jpg" rel="prettyphoto[71280]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-71286" class="wp-image-71286 " src="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7400-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="351" height="263" srcset="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7400-300x225.jpg 300w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7400-768x576.jpg 768w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7400-600x450.jpg 600w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7400-150x113.jpg 150w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7400-369x277.jpg 369w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7400-770x578.jpg 770w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_7400.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-71286" class="wp-caption-text">Ao Thalane kayaking pier</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p1">If you want to see a side of Thailand that hasn&#8217;t been polished for the masses, go to Ao Thalane. Stay at Le Passetemps for the quiet vibes, cool off at Tha Pom for the unreal clear water, and <a href="https://asianitinerary.com/it/tag/kayak/"><strong>paddle</strong></a> Thalane Bay for the adventure of a lifetime.</p>
<p class="p1">One piece of practical advice before you go: always carry water with you. The Thai heat and humidity are no joke, especially when you are kayaking under the midday sun or hiking the nature trails at Tha Pom. There are small shops at the entrances of these parks, but once you are deep inside the mangrove canyons or floating in those hidden lagoons, there are no vendors in sight. Dehydration can sneak up on you quickly. We each carried a reusable 1.5-liter bottle, and we finished every drop by the time we returned to shore. Trust me, you will thank yourself later.</p>
<p class="p1">It&#8217;s the perfect antidote to a busy city life.</p>

<p>Suspended high above Bangkok’s emerging On Nut neighbourhood, INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit’s awe-inspiring rooftop tapas bar has launched a new menu that pays homage to Spain’s bold regional flavours. Crafted by the hotel’s Spanish chef de cuisine, Madrid-born Juan Ignacio Garcia Racionero, also known as Chef Nacho, who has honed his craft in some of Spain’s leading kitchens, LUZ’s new menu celebrates Spain’s vibrant and diverse gastronomy.  Think San Sebastian-style pintxos and Basque-inspired dishes to Madrid street-food favourites, Andalusian seafood specialities and hearty rice and fideuà dishes synonymous with Spain’s eastern coastal regions. Affording sweeping views of Bangkok’s skyline from the hotel’s 33rd floor, LUZ sits beneath the transparent base of the hotel’s infinity pool, allowing diners to peer into the pool above while dining. Among the standout dishes are Steak tartar y Gilda San Sebastian that pairs Wagyu tenderloin tartare with brown and white anchovies and Spanish pickles on ciabatta, and Tacos de Rabo de Toro, with braised oxtail, roasted piquillo peppers and smoked Idiazabal cheese are folded into homemade corn tacos. Seafood dishes feature prominently throughout the menu, including Carpaccio de Gamba Roja, a delicate red prawn carpaccio finished with espelette pepper and extra virgin olive oil, and Lomo de Corvina al Pil Pil de Azafran y Aji Amarillo, showcasing croaker with a saffron-infused pil-pil sauce layered with yellow chilli and fish collagen. Other highlights include Pulpo Frito served with mashed potato and paprika oil, black squid-ink fideuà with red prawns and octopus, and a seafood paella with clams, mussels and squid. Desserts continue the Spanish influence with a burnt Basque chocolate cheesecake served with white chocolate ice cream, warm chocolate fondant with vanilla custard, and creamy rice pudding with confit strawberries. “This menu is very personal to me because it draws on the different regions and flavours I grew up with in Spain,” said Chef Nacho. “Spanish cuisine changes dramatically from one region to another, and I wanted the menu to encapsulate that diversity and match the energy of LUZ’s, with dishes designed to be shared over cocktails and incredible views of Bangkok”. LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar is open daily from 4pm until midnight.

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“This menu is very personal to me because it draws on the different regions and flavours I grew up with in Spain,” said Chef Nacho. “Spanish cuisine changes dramatically from one region to another, and I wanted the menu to encapsulate that diversity and match the energy of LUZ’s, with dishes designed to be shared over cocktails and incredible views of Bangkok”.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar is open daily from 4pm until midnight.</p>

<p>Marriott International’s Luxury Dining Series returns for its third edition, uniting world‑class chefs and cultural storytellers across Asia Pacific to celebrate what brings us together – one table at a time. Some of life’s most meaningful journeys begin not with distance travelled, but with a seat taken. Across a table, stories unfold, flavors linger, and strangers become companions. Returning for its third edition, Marriott International’s Luxury Dining Series invites guests to rediscover the quiet power of gathering – where a shared meal becomes a moment of connection, and time slows to the pace of conversation. Guided by the theme Across the Table, the series transforms dining into an intimate exchange – one shaped by generosity, curiosity and the joy of being present. Here, plates arrive with provenance, hands pass dishes meant for sharing, and chefs step beyond the kitchen to meet guests as storytellers. Every experience is designed to feel unguarded and alive, celebrating not just what is served, but what is shared. Unfolding across Asia Pacific, the 2026 Luxury Dining Series brings together celebrated culinary voices and evocative settings to create spaces where culture, creativity and human connection converge. From softly lit dining rooms to extraordinary destinations, Marriott International invites guests to take their place at the table – and discover how a single meal can become a lasting memory, carried long after the last course is cleared. The locations of the 2026 series include JW Marriot Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort &#38; Spa, The Naka Island, a Luxury Collection Resort &#38; Spa, Phuket, The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto, and a trip across Japan on Luminara, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht. Exclusive stay packages will be available across the six destinations, inviting guests to experience Across the Table beyond the dining room. Offered only in conjunction with the Luxury Dining Series, these limited offerings pair signature culinary moments with thoughtfully curated stays – encouraging guests to slow the pace, deepen connections and discover each destination as an integral part of what is shared at the table. The full schedule of the series is as follows: Vietnam – August 5-9 – JW Marriot Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort &#38; Spa Thailand – August 12-16 – The Naka Island, a Luxury Collection Resort &#38; Spa, Phuket Maldives – August 25-30 – The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort Indonesia – September 9-13 – Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve Japan – September 23-27 – The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto Japan – October 9-18 – Luminara, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection More details on programming will be announced soon.

<p>Brazil is one culture the world can’t stop talking about right now. From Shakira’s free concert on Copacabana Beach, to the clubs of Europe playing funk carioca from Rio&#8217;s favelas, the Brazil-core movement has made an unmistakable mark on global culture. With record numbers of international visitors heading to Brazil this year, the Slate Phuket is bringing the passion, rhythms and cuisine of Brazil to Phuket for a night of celebration. On Saturday 13 June, The Slate Phuket presents Brazilian BOLD – Amazonian Fire Ritual, one of the most immersive dining events the island has seen all year. Set in Rivet &#38; Rebar, The Slate&#8217;s celebrated open-fired grill, its industrial-chic decor will be reimagined for one extraordinary night. For the latest BOLD event, the space will be transformed into dense layers of lush greenery cascading through the interior, to create a living, breathing forest, which will be brought to life with samba, fire, and the seductive aromas of South American cooking. Inspired by Phuket’s tin mining past and The Slate’s industrial design language, Rivet &#38; Rebar’s identity is rooted in fire-kissed cooking, showcasing flavours that are honest, elemental, and bold. This is cuisine built on heat, texture, and contrast, where smoke, char, and spice are not accents but foundations. A samba dancer will move through the room, bringing the heartbeat of Brazil directly to the table. The sound, the colour, the movement provide everything to transport guests far beyond Nai Yang Beach and into the heart of Rio. BOLD is the flagship expression of The Slate Phuket&#8217;s defining belief: that travel at its best is about creating immersive experiences where culture, creativity, and community come together to produce something extraordinary. BOLD events invite guests to Be Original, Lighthearted and Daring by introducing the world’s most exciting chefs, musicians, and artists in a fun and interactive way. Whether it has been Japanese silk and electronic soundscapes at Electric Kimono Night, the fire and flamenco of BOLD España, or the Cuban rhythms of a Havana takeover, each BOLD event pushes Phuket&#8217;s experiential dining conversation forward. BOLD Brazilian III continues that tradition with the full force of a culture that currently captivates the world. “Brazilian food and culture are vibrant, bright and exciting,” said The Slate’s owner Krystal Prakaikaew Na-Ranong. “Brazilian BOLD will allow our guests and locals alike to learn more about South American food, music and culture without having to fly to the other side of the world.” The menu will include Caipirinhas; traditional suckling pig, Brazilian and South American prime beef cuts, Brazilian rice and Feijoada, a Brazilian black bean stew; and for dessert, cheese bread with Dulce de Leche and ice cream, served with a rum shot.

<p>Award-winning mixologist Nipichthorn “Francisco” Junkaew from MAI The Sky Bar at Meliá Chiang Mai will headline a special two-night guest shift at Garbo, Meliá Hanoi’s cinematic cocktail bar, in celebration of World Cocktail Day. To be staged on May 14 and 15 from 4pm until midnight, the takeover, titled “Garbo’s Signatures Reimagined in Chiang Mai Flavors” will see Francisco reinterpret Garbo’s signature cocktails with a Thai expression of herbs, spices and citrus. Known for its old-Hollywood atmosphere and cocktail menu inspired by silver screen icons and classic films, Garbo has collaborated with Francisco on three bespoke cocktails to coincide with World Cocktail Day on May 13. Inspired by Greta Garbo and the 1936 film Camille, “Black Glamour” combines Johnnie Walker Black Label, cacao-infused Averna Amaro, coffee and tonka bean tincture, topped with Chiang Mai stout cacao and cava air foam. “Call Me By Your Name”, that pays tribute to Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, blends Chiang Mai tea-infused vodka with clarified pomelo juice. A nod to Ginger Rogers in Top Hat, “Chiang Mai Confidential” combines neem leaf-infused gin, Lillet Blanc and soda water for a herbaceous serve. Each cocktail is accompanied by a limited-edition coaster inspired by the Hollywood figure and film behind the drink, with a QR code that “unlocks the scene behind the sip”. Francisco was crowned winner of the Thailand Hotel Bartender’s Championship 2025. He was also the second runner-up in the World Class Thailand 2025 national competition and won the Zacapa “Above the Clouds” Challenge. He has more than eight years’ experience in luxury hospitality and mixology and played a key role in the pre-opening of Meliá Chiang Mai before becoming the hotel’s beverage manager. He leads the beverage program at MAI The Sky Bar, the hotel’s 360-degree rooftop venue perched high above the Ping River with a striking glass bridge and panoramic views across Chiang Mai. “This guest shift gives me the chance to recast Garbo’s signature cocktails through the flavours and atmosphere of Chiang Mai, with Northern Thai ingredients stepping into the spotlight,” said Francisco. “The drinks still carry that old Hollywood glamour and mystery, but with Northern Thai ingredients playing the leading role.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Award-winning mixologist Nipichthorn “Francisco” Junkaew from MAI The Sky Bar at <strong>Meliá</strong> <a href="https://asianitinerary.com/category/thailand/chiang-mai/">Chiang Mai</a> will headline a special two-night guest shift at Garbo, Meliá Hanoi’s cinematic cocktail bar, in celebration of <strong>World Cocktail Day</strong>. To be staged on May 14 and 15 from 4pm until midnight, the takeover, titled “Garbo’s Signatures Reimagined in Chiang Mai Flavors” will see Francisco reinterpret Garbo’s signature cocktails with a Thai expression of herbs, spices and citrus.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Known for its old-Hollywood atmosphere and cocktail menu inspired by silver screen icons and classic films, Garbo has collaborated with Francisco on three bespoke cocktails to coincide with World Cocktail Day on May 13.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Inspired by Greta Garbo and the 1936 film <em>Camille</em>, “Black Glamour” combines Johnnie Walker Black Label, cacao-infused Averna Amaro, coffee and tonka bean tincture, topped with Chiang Mai stout cacao and cava air foam.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“This guest shift gives me the chance to recast Garbo’s signature cocktails through the flavours and atmosphere of Chiang Mai, with Northern Thai ingredients stepping into the spotlight,” said Francisco. “The drinks still carry that old Hollywood glamour and mystery, but with Northern Thai ingredients playing the leading role.”</p>

<p>Meliá Pattaya Hotel’s Yitong Chinese Restaurant &#38; Sky has unveiled an indulgent brunch paying homage to the humble dim sum. In the heart of Pattaya, the 12th floor rooftop restaurant and bar hosts ‘Dim Sum Unlimited’ every Saturday and Sunday from noon until 3pm. The all-you-can-enjoy dim affair brims with steamed and deep-fried dim sum options, as well as soups, rice and noodle dishes, and desserts. Traditional Ha Gaw, steamed shrimp balls, rice roll with shrimp, pork shumai, Xiao Long Bao pork dumplings, pork wontons with Mala spicy sauce, and Cantonese pork-, BBQ pork- and Chinese mushroom buns are among the steam dim sum options. Deep-fried dim sum dishes range from taro and roasted pork dumplings, and shrimps wrapped in tofu sheet, to pan-fried turnip cake, vegetables spring rolls and green chives dumplings. Double-boiled pork ribs soup, ‘Yitong’ fried rice with crab meat, and Tang Yuan glutinous rice balls with caramelised ginger broth are among examples of soup, rice and noodle fare, and desserts. The menu can be accessed here. “Translating to ‘touch of the heart’, dim sum represents a Cantonese tradition of sharing small, delicate dishes and tea, sometimes described as a ‘team sport’ where everyone shares,” said Peter Laird, Meliá Pattaya Hotel’s director of food and beverage. “At Yitong, we’ve made it a team sport of serving a joyous, communal dining experience with an incredible selection of dishes accompanied by a front-row view of Pattaya’s shoreline.” As they set foot in the venue, diners are greeted by a ribbon-like ceiling sculpture installation that makes for a compelling contemporary interpretation of calligraphy. Characterised by gold and black trimmings with pops of crimson to signal prosperity, the restaurant’s colour palette is magnified by the backdrop of floor-to-ceiling windows affording views of Pattaya’s beach and sky. In addition to the main dining area with soft lighting, earthy tones and natural textures inspired by the landscapes of Chonburi and Northern Thailand to evoke calm and refinement, the sky bar’s chic rooftop space features greenery and affords panoramic views. Dim Sum Unlimited Brunch is priced at THB 750 net per person. A ‘Dine as five and pay for four’ offer is also available. For more information or to make a booking, call +66 (0)33-168-555, email info.pattaya@melia.com, or reach out on Facebook Messenger m.me/MeliaPattayaHotel or LINE ID @meliapattayahotel bit.ly/MeliáPattayaHotel. The Dim Sum Unlimited Brunch menu is available on linktr.ee/meliapattaya</p>

<p>Available at Banyan Tree Samui from May 1, 2026, the Banyan Tree Connections: A Private, Immersive Holistic Wellbeing Journey for Two responds to a growing desire for meaningful connections in an increasingly fragmented world.   Banyan Tree Samui, an 88 pool villa beachfront property overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, announces the launch of Banyan Tree Connections: A Private, Immersive Wellbeing Journey for Two, now available for bookings for stays from May 1, 2026, onwards. The programme invites guests to slow down and reconnect with themselves, with loved ones, and with the rhythms of nature through a curated series of movement, mindfulness, and shared rituals guided by Banyan Group’s 8 Pillars of Wellbeing philosophy. “Banyan Tree Connections was created in response to a universal longing for deeper relationships, genuine presence, and time well spent together,” said Ms. Katejiraporn Kaewngarmsa-ard, Hotel Manager at Banyan Tree Samui. “Our tranquil resort, bathed in a lush tropical environment and idyllic for those seeking intimacy and peace of mind, is a natural canvas for a wellbeing journey shared between friends and/or family.” Banyan Tree Samui invites guests to experience a journey of wellbeing with a loved one or special partner through a personalized program of healthy living activities, each designed to nurture balance, presence and togetherness, with each experience initiated in harmony with the resort’s tropical beachfront setting, the island’s natural beauty, and Thailand’s spiritual culture. Connections guests will begin their journey at Banyan Tree Samui with a 30-minute wellbeing consultation, undertaken by one of our professionally trained associates, in order to lay out a health and fitness itinerary that caters to each person’s individual targets. Among the selection of pursuits included in the Connections program that a couple may benefit from are: a 60-minute session of Private Yoga Duo; Sound Healing Meditation; a one-time Herbal Massage Oil &#38; Reflexology Workshop; two joint 60-minute spa treatments; kayaking; an introduction to Thai boxing; a private culinary workshop; and an intimate dinner for two served in style at our private beach. A Sanctuary for the Senses Banyan Tree Samui’s 88 spacious pool villas, each with its own private infinity pool, provide a serene and secluded oasis where guests can unwind and reconnect with nature. Designed to seamlessly blend with the surrounding landscape, the villas feature contemporary Thai architecture and are adorned with locally sourced materials and artwork, creating a truly authentic and immersive experience. The resort hosts three restaurants, including Saffron which was recently listed in the 2025 MICHELIN Guide. Other onsite facilities include a fitness centre, a kids’ club, a meetings and events centre, and a library.

<p>It used to be we turned to Brahms for lullabies; now we’re tucking into nap capsules and sleep studios all over Asia for the best possible slumber. Hotels are also getting into the act, and why not: We’ve been paying them for space to sleep for hundreds of years. Today, from Thailand to Vietnam, resort hotels are doubling down on their raison d’être. We’ve rounded up a few that may pique your interest as the grist for another look at how to get to the Land of Nod. We have: A sleep enhancement programme at Banyan Tree Samui A bath ritual that goes beyond a soak with massage, lavender-reishi drinks, and sleep amenities at TIA Wellness in Da Nang A sleep meditation class and rest ritual kit at Kamalaya Alab Wellness Valley’s tailored &#8216;Sleep Well&#8217; retreat at a hot springs resort in Hue Rest Assured at Island Sleep Retreat Sleep deprivation has become a modern epidemic, driven by stress, overstimulation and relentless schedules. At Kamalaya Koh Samui, the Sleep Enhancement programme takes a structured approach to restoring healthy rest by addressing both the mental and physiological causes of insomnia. Guests begin with a consultation designed to identify personal barriers to sleep, from an overactive mind to lifestyle habits that disrupt natural rhythms. From there, a team including wellness consultants, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and life enhancement mentors guides the process. Therapies such as targeted massage and bioresonance help calm the nervous system, while herbal and nutraceutical supplements support the body’s natural sleep cycles. Personalised nutritional advice and practical stress-management techniques form part of the programme. The goal is straightforward: deeper, longer and more restorative sleep, along with tools guests can use to maintain healthier sleep patterns once they return home. A Soak for Sleep With TIA Wellness Resort’s “Deep Slumber” bath ritual, sleep time preparation begins away from bed with the choice of relaxing massage in the resort’s wellness center. Therapies like the Himalayan Heart Stone and Deep Connection Remedy ease tension, release tight muscles and help relax the body. Upon return to the room, guests will find a soothing lavender-infused bath with lavender oil and flowers, Epsom salts (for magnesium) and dried mugwort (another natural remedy, like lavender, for easing anxiety and deepening sleep quality). The bath can be taken under the soft glow of candles to help signal to the brain it’s time to rest. A relaxation tray near the bath features a lavender eye mask, one of the new sleep amenities that creates a more sleep-inducive environment. A Lavender Reishi Latte is also served, with reishi, a medicinal mushroom, promoting quality sleep and reducing stress. Meditation and Herbal Face Steams on Koh Samui  For those with an insomniac disposition, a special routine of sleep rituals has been devised at a leading resort in Koh Samui to help send guests off into the Land of Nod. Surrounded by lush tropical flora and with each spacious villa offering privacy and its own infinity pool, Banyan Tree Samui is an ideal spot for those who seek tranquility and rest. A Sleep Meditation class has been designed to help participants relax deeply and prepare mind and body for restorative sleep using breathwork, mindfulness, and gentle visualization techniques, and is set in a quiet environment with calming music. On return to one’s villa, a Rest Ritual kit will be waiting by the bedside. A set of fragrant ingredients and herbs are to be soaked in a bowl of hot water, then the guest drapes a towel over their head and inhales the aromas. Among the nightly rotation of ingredients for the Rest Ritual are: agarwood, jasmine and sandalwood essential oil, fresh kaffir leaf, lime, aloe, ginger, coconut milk, and a rose &#38; vanilla essential oil.  Slip Away Into a Sleep Retreat in Vietnam Set amidst the tranquil landscapes of Huế, the Sleep Well Retreat at Alba Wellness Valley by Fusion introduces a thoughtfully curated wellness experience dedicated to restoring the art of deep, natural sleep. Rooted in the belief that restorative sleep emerges from harmony between body and mind, the retreat addresses both the visible symptoms and underlying causes of sleep imbalance. Each guest begins with a personalized wellness consultation, shaping a tailored program that evolves throughout the stay. Signature therapies form the heart of the experience, including the deeply calming Four Hands Ayurvedic Massage, Shirodhara, and Nasya Therapy—ancient practices known to soothe the nervous system and quiet mental unrest. Complementing these are daily foot reflexology, floating meditation, and immersive sound healing sessions featuring Tibetan singing bowls and crystal tones. Evenings unfold gently with herbal tea rituals and Alba’s Sleep Well Kit, infused with lavender notes to encourage relaxation. Guests are further supported by sleep-conscious cuisine, crafted from fresh, local ingredients, alongside the resort’s signature mineral-rich onsen—an essential element that enhances both physical release and sleep quality.</p>

Hotels are also getting into the act, and why not: We’ve been paying them for space to sleep for hundreds of years. Today, from Thailand to Vietnam, resort hotels are doubling down on their raison d’être. We’ve rounded up a few that may pique your interest as the grist for another look at how to get to the Land of Nod. We have:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">A sleep enhancement programme at Banyan Tree Samui</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">A bath ritual that goes beyond a soak with massage, lavender-reishi drinks, and sleep amenities at TIA Wellness in Da Nang</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">A sleep meditation class and rest ritual kit at Kamalaya</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Alab Wellness Valley’s tailored &#8216;Sleep Well&#8217; retreat at a hot springs resort in Hue</li>
</ul>
<h3><b>Rest Assured at Island Sleep Retreat</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sleep deprivation has become a modern epidemic, driven by stress, overstimulation and relentless schedules. At <a href="https://asianitinerary.com/category/thailand/surat-thani-thailand/koh-samui/"><strong>Kamalaya Koh Samui</strong></a>, the Sleep Enhancement programme takes a structured approach to restoring healthy rest by addressing both the mental and physiological causes of insomnia. Guests begin with a consultation designed to identify personal barriers to sleep, from an overactive mind to lifestyle habits that disrupt natural rhythms. From there, a team including wellness consultants, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and life enhancement mentors guides the process. Therapies such as targeted massage and bioresonance help calm the nervous system, while herbal and nutraceutical supplements support the body’s natural sleep cycles.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Personalised nutritional advice and practical stress-management techniques form part of the programme. The goal is straightforward: deeper, longer and more restorative sleep, along with tools guests can use to maintain healthier sleep patterns once they return home.</span></p>
<h3><b>A Soak for Sleep</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With <a href="https://asianitinerary.com/?s=TIA+Wellness+Resort&amp;submit=">TIA Wellness Resort</a>’s “Deep Slumber” bath ritual, sleep time preparation begins away from bed with the choice of relaxing massage in the resort’s wellness center. Therapies like the Himalayan Heart Stone and Deep Connection Remedy ease tension, release tight muscles and help relax the body. Upon return to the room, guests will find a soothing lavender-infused bath with lavender oil and flowers, Epsom salts (for magnesium) and dried mugwort (another natural remedy, like lavender, for easing anxiety and deepening sleep quality). The bath can be taken under the soft glow of candles to help signal to the brain it’s time to rest. A relaxation tray near the bath features a lavender eye mask, one of the new sleep amenities that creates a more sleep-inducive environment.

<p>A hidden retreat where Thailand feels like home. Just north of Phuket, where the crowds thin and the landscape opens into canals, jungle, and mountain air, Baan Ati Resort &#38; Spa sits quietly in the Natai area of Phang Nga — waiting to be discovered by those who know to look. &#160; &#160; It was precisely this promise that brought the Asian Itinerary team here: on a drive to uncover the quieter, less-travelled side of southern Thailand, just a short distance from the bustle of Phuket, we wanted to find out whether Phang Nga could offer something genuinely different. Baan Ati answered that question immediately. The resort was born from a deeply personal vision: a Thai woman with over two decades of international hotel management behind her, and a lifelong passion for art and design, set out to create not just a place to stay, but a place to belong. That intention is felt the moment you arrive. The wooden stilt houses, the shaded verandas, the canal that runs alongside the property, the mountains visible through the canopy — none of it feels accidental. Everything has been considered, and everything has been chosen with care. The Villas Baan Ati offers several villa styles, ranging from cosy single-story houses to a generous two-story family retreat. Each one is built in a contemporary take on traditional Thai architecture, with spacious front porches, natural materials, and enough privacy to make you forget the world outside. The larger villas come with both front and rear verandas, blurring the boundary between indoors and the lush surroundings in the most pleasant way possible. Facilities The facilities are thoughtfully scaled to match the resort&#8217;s intimate character. There is a swimming pool with Jacuzzi for long, unhurried afternoons, a spa with steam and sauna where tired muscles are quickly forgotten, a fitness centre for those who can&#8217;t entirely switch off, and a restaurant and coffee shop serving Thai and international dishes in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. A poolside pavilion rounds things off — ideal for small gatherings or simply watching the light change over the water. Experiences What sets Baan Ati apart is how much it encourages guests to slow down and engage. They offer cycling along canal-side paths, kayaking on the waterway, batik fabric painting, Thai cooking classes, and guided visits to the local morning market. For those who want to venture further, the surrounding province delivers generously: ethical elephant encounters, waterfall hikes, temples, Andaman Sea snorkelling, Phang Nga Bay cruises, and the unforgettable panoramic view from Samet Nangshe Hill are all within reach. The Feeling Baan Ati is the kind of place that doesn&#8217;t try to impress you with scale or spectacle. It impresses you instead with quietness, with detail, and with the rare sense that someone genuinely cared about the experience you would have here. For travellers looking to experience Phang Nga beyond the postcard version of southern Thailand — and for anyone wondering what lies just beyond Phuket&#8217;s crowded shores — it makes for an exceptional base, and a stay that is difficult to leave.

Each one is built in a contemporary take on traditional Thai architecture, with spacious front porches, natural materials, and enough privacy to make you forget the world outside. The larger villas come with both front and rear verandas, blurring the boundary between indoors and the lush surroundings in the most pleasant way possible.</p>

<h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">Facilities</h2>
<div id="attachment_71081" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-pool.jpg" rel="prettyphoto[71071]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-71081" class="size-medium wp-image-71081" src="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-pool-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-pool-300x225.jpg 300w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-pool-768x576.jpg 768w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-pool-600x450.jpg 600w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-pool-150x113.jpg 150w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-pool-369x277.jpg 369w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-pool-770x578.jpg 770w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-pool.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-71081" class="wp-caption-text">Baan Ati swimming pool area</p></div>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The facilities are thoughtfully scaled to match the resort&#8217;s intimate character. There is a swimming pool with Jacuzzi for long, unhurried afternoons, a spa with steam and sauna where tired muscles are quickly forgotten, a fitness centre for those who can&#8217;t entirely switch off, and a restaurant and coffee shop serving Thai and international dishes in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. A poolside pavilion rounds things off — ideal for small gatherings or simply watching the light change over the water.</p>
<hr class="border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5" />
<h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">Experiences</h2>
<div id="attachment_71080" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-spa.jpg" rel="prettyphoto[71071]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-71080" class="size-medium wp-image-71080" src="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-spa-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-spa-300x225.jpg 300w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-spa-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-spa-768x576.jpg 768w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-spa-600x450.jpg 600w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-spa-150x113.jpg 150w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-spa-369x277.jpg 369w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-spa-770x578.jpg 770w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Baan-Ati-spa.jpg 1440w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-71080" class="wp-caption-text">Baan Ati spa</p></div>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">What sets Baan Ati apart is how much it encourages guests to slow down and engage. They offer cycling along canal-side paths, kayaking on the waterway, batik fabric painting, Thai cooking classes, and guided visits to the local morning market.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">For those who want to venture further, the surrounding province delivers generously: ethical elephant encounters, waterfall hikes, temples, Andaman Sea snorkelling, Phang Nga Bay cruises, and the unforgettable panoramic view from Samet Nangshe Hill are all within reach.</p>
<hr class="border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5" />
<h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">The Feeling</h2>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><a href="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7243.jpg" rel="prettyphoto[71071]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-71074" src="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7243-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7243-300x225.jpg 300w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7243-768x576.jpg 768w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7243-600x450.jpg 600w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7243-150x113.jpg 150w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7243-369x277.jpg 369w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7243-770x578.jpg 770w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7243.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Baan Ati is the kind of place that doesn&#8217;t try to impress you with scale or spectacle. It impresses you instead with quietness, with detail, and with the rare sense that someone genuinely cared about the experience you would have here. For travellers looking to experience Phang Nga beyond the postcard version of southern Thailand — and for anyone wondering what lies just beyond Phuket&#8217;s crowded shores — it makes for an exceptional base, and a stay that is difficult to leave.</p>

<p>Forget the crowded beaches. Just north of Phuket, the province of Phang Nga unfolds in a tapestry of emerald jungles, limestone giants, and quiet canals. Here, on a media trip for AsianItinerary.com, we discovered a day where adventure meets tranquility. Our Basecamp: Baan Ati Resort &#38; Spa Our home for this exploration was Baan Ati Resort &#38; Spa, tucked away in the Natai area. The resort feels like a secret discovered. The vision behind it is unique: conceived by a Thai woman with over two decades of international hotel management and a deep-rooted passion for art and design. You feel her touch immediately. It&#8217;s a collection of charming wooden stilt houses nestled along a serene canal, with breathtaking mountain vistas visible through the lush canopy. The air smelled of damp earth and blooming flowers. This wasn&#8217;t just a place to sleep; it was an immersion. After settling in, we set off, following the sound of rushing water. The First Plunge: Wat Khao Kok Kloi &#38; Its Secret Waterfall Our first stop was Wat Khao Kok Kloi, a temple complex clinging to a forested hill. Hidden in its backyard is the Khao Kok Kloi Waterfall – a series of gentle, multi-tiered cascades. The water was cool and clear, pooling in natural basins perfect for a refreshing dip. Locals picnicked on mats, their laughter echoing off the limestone. Scaling the Heights: Phu Pha Sawan Waterfall A short drive deeper into the jungle brought us to Phu Pha Sawan Waterfall. The name translates to &#8220;heavenly mountain,&#8221; and you understand why as you climb the path. The vegetation is impossibly green – ferns the size of dinner tables, vines thick as pythons. Then you see it: a magnificent curtain of water tumbling into a wide, emerald pool. We scrambled over boulders to sit directly under the cascade, the force of the water a natural massage after the humid hike. Lunch Among the Trees: Baan Chan Café &#38; Restaurant Just minutes from our base, tucked down a quiet lane, we found Baan Chan Café &#38; Restaurant. Turning into the driveway feels like entering a secret garden – a charming open-air space topped with thatched roofing, surrounded by fruit orchards and towering trees. The food was delicious, but what we loved most was the atmosphere. We had a great chat with Khun Ai, the young and beautiful owner, whose passion shines through every detail. Sitting under the trees, warm light filtering through the leaves, with no rush to be anywhere else – Baan Chan is the kind of local spot travelers dream of finding. This is their FACEBOOK. The Coastal Road: Where Marshes Meet the Sea Refreshed, we pointed the car north. The road began to hug the coast, weaving through a landscape suspended between land and sea. On either side, marshes and lagoons stretched toward the horizon. We drove slowly, windows down, letting the salty breeze fill the car. Somewhere along that winding ribbon of asphalt, we realized we weren&#8217;t just driving to a destination. We were already there. Wat Thettharamnawa: A Temple Born from Tranquility Nestled on the shores of Tha Sai Beach, Wat Thettharamnawa rose from the coastal pine forest like a vision. The land once served as a forest cemetery where villagers brought their deceased by boat. Death lingered here. But in 1990, monks began coming to meditate, transforming a place of endings into a sanctuary of beginnings. The heart of the temple is its ubosot (ordination hall) – and I have never seen anything quite like it. Unlike the gold-laden temples of Thailand&#8217;s tourist trail, this one is crafted almost entirely from golden teakwood. The wood carvings that adorn every window panel are sermons carved in wood: delicate lotus petals, mythical creatures, scenes of enlightenment so finely rendered that you marvel at the hands that held chisels decades ago. The temple is not ancient – it was consecrated in 2010 – but it feels timeless. Perhaps because of the silence, broken only by the distant murmur of waves and the rustle of pine needles. &#160; Meditation by the Sea We didn&#8217;t plan to stay two hours. But Wat Thettharamnawa has a way of holding onto you. I sat on the cool wooden floor of the hall, cross-legged, and closed my eyes. Later, I found a spot on the beach, watching the light shift across the Andaman Sea. A monk walked past, offering a gentle nod. No words were needed. A Dip in the Andaman As our meditation faded, one look at the ocean was all it took. The beach unfolds for miles in either direction – a seemingly endless ribbon of soft, pale shoreline. No crowds, no vendors. Just us, the waves, and the whispering casuarina pines. We waded in. The water was warm, soothing, a gentle embrace. We floated on our backs, staring up at the sky, letting the saltwater wash away the last traces of tension. Afterwards, we sat on the sand, letting the sun dry our skin. No words were needed. Just that knowing smile of travelers who have stumbled upon something perfect. Sand between our toes and salt in our hair, we knew: this was the perfect end to a perfect day in Phang Nga. ____________________________________________________________ Baan Ati Resort &#38; SPA The Asian Itinerary team&#8217;s stay was kindly hosted by Baan Ati Resort &#38; Spa. The resort is nestled along a serene canal in the Natai area of Phang Nga, and offers charming wooden stilt villa-style accommodations surrounded by tropical gardens and mountain views. Each villa features private living space, a shaded veranda, and access to the resort&#8217;s pool. Visit their WEB PAGE HERE. Visit their FACEBOOK page HERE.</p>

<p class="p1">Just minutes from our base, tucked down a quiet lane, we found <strong>Baan Chan Café &amp; Restaurant</strong>. Turning into the driveway feels like entering a secret garden – a charming open-air space topped with thatched roofing, surrounded by fruit orchards and towering trees. The food was delicious, but what we loved most was the atmosphere. We had a great chat with Khun Ai, the young and beautiful owner, whose passion shines through every detail. Sitting under the trees, warm light filtering through the leaves, with no rush to be anywhere else – Baan Chan is the kind of local spot travelers dream of finding. This is their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565625161141" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>FACEBOOK</strong></a>.</p>
<h3 class="p1"><b>The Coastal Road: Where Marshes Meet the Sea</b></h3>
<p class="p1">Refreshed, we pointed the car north. The road began to hug the coast, weaving through a landscape suspended between land and sea. On either side, marshes and lagoons stretched toward the horizon. We drove slowly, windows down, letting the salty breeze fill the car. Somewhere along that winding ribbon of asphalt, we realized we weren&#8217;t just driving to a destination. We were already there.</p>
<h3 class="p1"><b>Wat Thettharamnawa: A Temple Born from Tranquility</b></h3>
<div id="attachment_71048" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7259.jpg" rel="prettyphoto[71041]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-71048" class="size-medium wp-image-71048" src="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7259-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7259-300x225.jpg 300w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7259-600x450.jpg 600w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7259-150x113.jpg 150w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7259-369x277.jpg 369w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7259.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-71048" class="wp-caption-text">Wat Thettharamnawa, the temple by the beach</p></div>
<p class="p1">Nestled on the shores of Tha Sai Beach, Wat Thettharamnawa rose from the coastal pine forest like a vision. The land once served as a forest cemetery where villagers brought their deceased by boat. Death lingered here. But in 1990, monks began coming to meditate, transforming a place of endings into a sanctuary of beginnings.</p>
<p class="p1">The heart of the temple is its ubosot (ordination hall) – and I have never seen anything quite like it. Unlike the gold-laden temples of Thailand&#8217;s tourist trail, this one is crafted almost entirely from golden teakwood. The wood carvings that adorn every window panel are sermons carved in wood: delicate lotus petals, mythical creatures, scenes of enlightenment so finely rendered that you marvel at the hands that held chisels decades ago.</p>
<div id="attachment_71049" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7262.jpg" rel="prettyphoto[71041]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-71049" class="size-medium wp-image-71049" src="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7262-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7262-300x225.jpg 300w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7262-600x450.jpg 600w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7262-150x113.jpg 150w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7262-369x277.jpg 369w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_7262.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-71049" class="wp-caption-text">The white Buddha at Wat Thettharamnawa</p></div>
<p>The temple is not ancient – it was consecrated in 2010 – but it feels timeless. Perhaps because of the silence, broken only by the distant murmur of waves and the rustle of pine needles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class="p1"><b>Meditation by the Sea</b></h3>
<p class="p1">We didn&#8217;t plan to stay two hours. But Wat Thettharamnawa has a way of holding onto you. I sat on the cool wooden floor of the hall, cross-legged, and closed my eyes. Later, I found a spot on the beach, watching the light shift across the Andaman Sea. A monk walked past, offering a gentle nod. No words were needed.</p>
<h3 class="p1"><b>A Dip in the Andaman</b></h3>
<div id="attachment_71051" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/natai-beach-pang-nga.jpg" rel="prettyphoto[71041]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-71051" class="size-medium wp-image-71051" src="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/natai-beach-pang-nga-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/natai-beach-pang-nga-300x200.jpg 300w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/natai-beach-pang-nga-768x512.jpg 768w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/natai-beach-pang-nga-600x400.jpg 600w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/natai-beach-pang-nga-150x100.jpg 150w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/natai-beach-pang-nga-369x246.jpg 369w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/natai-beach-pang-nga-770x514.jpg 770w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/natai-beach-pang-nga-285x190.jpg 285w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/natai-beach-pang-nga-236x156.jpg 236w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/natai-beach-pang-nga.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-71051" class="wp-caption-text">Phang Nga off the beaten path</p></div>
<p class="p1">As our meditation faded, one look at the ocean was all it took. The beach unfolds for miles in either direction – a seemingly endless ribbon of soft, pale shoreline. No crowds, no vendors. Just us, the waves, and the whispering casuarina pines.</p>
<p class="p1">We waded in. The water was warm, soothing, a gentle embrace. We floated on our backs, staring up at the sky, letting the saltwater wash away the last traces of tension. Afterwards, we sat on the sand, letting the sun dry our skin. No words were needed. Just that knowing smile of travelers who have stumbled upon something perfect.</p>
<p class="p1">Sand between our toes and salt in our hair, we knew: this was the perfect end to a perfect day in <strong><a href="https://asianitinerary.com/category/thailand/phang-nga/">Phang Nga</a></strong>.</p>

<p>Wyndham Grand Phuket Kalim Bay, a premier destination for luxury honeymoon, has launched its first fully electric vehicle (EV) dedicated to in-house guest transfers to reduce the property’s carbon footprint and fuel consumption, while ensuring a noise-free experience for guests. Situated high on a hillside overlooking the Andaman Sea, the upscale resort is spread out over a significant parcel of land, meaning that shuttle services are often required to connect guests travelling between the 132 pool villas and suites and facilities including the lobby, gym, main pool, restaurants, spa and onsite orchard. The average transfer distance is between 500 metres and one kilometre. With 9,000 to 10,000 internal transfers recorded monthly, the resort’s gradual shift from traditional combustion engines to zero-emission vehicles is expected to make a measurable impact on energy efficiency and noise reduction across the property. Annual CO₂ savings from switching to zero-emission EVs are estimated to range from 12.15 to 27 metric tonnes. “This initiative marks a significant step forward in our sustainability journey and commitment to environmentally conscious hospitality. By replacing noisy traditional engines with clean electric transport, we&#8217;re helping create a more sustainable future for our community and a more peaceful experience for our guests, many of whom are couples seeking relaxation,” said Dominic Egger, General Manager of Wyndham Grand Phuket Kalim Bay and Director of Operations Thailand at Travel + Leisure Co. Guests can easily book internal transfers through the resort&#8217;s Wyndham Grand app – which they are informed about during check-in – or via Kalim, the resort&#8217;s multilingual AI guide available on the resort’s website. The EV shuttle is a factor in the resort&#8217;s 5-star Sustainable Tourism Acceleration Rating (STAR) from the Tourism Authority of Thailand. It complements the property’s existing sustainability initiatives, like its onsite organic orchard supporting an “Orchard-to-Table” concept for dining and spa treatments, a composting program that upcycles food waste into fertiliser, energy-efficient smart villas, and the total elimination of single-use plastics. In line with Phuket’s growing emphasis on eco-tourism, Wyndham Grand Phuket Kalim Bay also offers an EV charging station for guests who travel with electric vehicles themselves. This initiative and others implemented by the resort’s Travel Green team ensure the property meets the criteria of the government initiative “Green Hotel Plus Phuket Sandbox,” which aims to certify 600 hotels on the island to global green standards this year to prepare for a surge in eco-conscious travellers. The island will host the Global Sustainable Tourism Conference (GSTC2026) in May 2026, an event which will serve as a major milestone for these environmental goals.</p>
