The Shore at Katathani – revisited
The villa is just impossible not to fall in love with. We find thoughtful little touches every where and the attention to detail is amazing. The pictures on their website are exactly what you get, and then some. This was our second visit. The last time we visited, our parade was completely rained on, pun […]
Similan National Park with Phuket Adventures
I have heard a lot about the Similan National Park from diver friends who reckon it is one of the best dive spots in South East Asia. Comprising of 9 protected islands in the middle of the Andaman Sea, the islands are all made of granite, giving them a rare natural beauty with unique formations. […]
Aleenta Phuket – Phang Nga Resort and Spa

Phuket Day 2: Wet Kata

The above images were taken from the resort website since my pictures […]
