Anyone?

Looking at going somewhere in a few weeks. Got a few places in mind ( countries ) and one of em is Thailand.

 

Avoid the tourist kiddies crowd. The beaches in that area are nasty.

Anantara is pretty good, or any adjacent hotels in that area. Quieter, clean, and no drunken 18 year old's, unless that's what you are looking for.

 

Can't advise you on hotels since we rented a villa and the amount of accommodation has tripled in the last 5 years. Tripadvisor always helps us out.

If possible, arrange a trip through the backlands of Koh Samui in a Jeep Willy. Beautiful views and unspoiled nature. Also, if you're in for a treat, there are some great small hidden restaurants along several of the quieter beaches. Never had such good Thai cuisine in my life.

 

Def not going for the drunken 18year olds.

Want a quiet place to spend 10 days with a lady friend. We need a break.

Should have said i wanted recs. for the areas on which to avoid ( for the drunken ****wits etc ) and which places to go to have some peace and quiet. Hotels will follow after that. I use tripadviser alot for the hoterls, but harder to know what the area they are in is like.

Not sure where im gonna go yet ( fiji, tahiti, samoa, samui ) so wanted to get a few together and throw a dart typa thing.

 

Then check out the Anantara hotel, and the hotels in that vincinity.

Very quiet, nice beaches. I forgot where we stayed, but they asked us each morning what kind of seafood we want. Then they go buy it from the market and cook it for us that night, FTW.

In fact, the next time we go to Thailand, we will probably make a stop there. I miss Samui.

Skip Pukhet, it sucks. I brought the mrs there because she's never been. After the plane took off out of there, she told me she agreed that my initial assessment was correct, that Pukhet does indeed suck.

 

Just remember that in Asia its the rainy season right now.

 

June is the cusp. Really humid, but should be no rain yet.

July, August is brutal. I should know, we did our big destination wedding for friends and families around the world in Bangkok in August.

It rained way way way too much in Bangkok, Huahin, Samui, Singapore, and Hong Kong. The only place it didn't rain during our wedding/honeymoon was Shanghai.

 

Thanks ladies.

Got a few hotels that look alright so now gotta nail down the destination.

Not to interested in sitting in the rain for 10 days though, nor am i a fan of humidity.

 

I enjoyed Phuket when I went. We went to Bangkok and Phuket. If you end up going to Bangkok, look for one of the apartment/hotels. They're cheaper and sick.

 

Why do that when JW Marriott which beats the crap out of any 5 star hotel in the US is only 100 bucks a night?

And it's located in the middle of all the action.
