Thailand
Utter luxury. Spent a week not really doing much - it's not really the place to go if you want to explore, it's more a place for relaxing, eating and drinking. Loved the bath on the balcony!

We stayed in these apartments on the Thai island of Koh Samui and I would recommend them because they are situated right on the beach and luxurious but a bargain (we paid £10 a night in total for two people). The staff were very friendly (a waiter came as our guide to a local market) and there is an excellent choice of food. If you need some time out to chill and enjoy some real Thai hospitality this is the place to be!

This is a lovely little hotel on Chaweng Beach with rooms set in walled gardens. Very friendly staff and a there is a really good restaurant.
The best Thai massage on Chaweng Beach. Sweet middle-aged ladies, lovely place.
Chaweng Beach Road
One of the few remaining chilled-out beach resorts on the island. They are run by a great English couple and don't welcome s*x tourists.
