Thailand multi centre

We travelled from Heathrow and our first stop was Bangkok where we stayed three nights at the Majestic Grand hotel, the hotel was in an ideal location with bars and restaurants just outside the hotel.

People watching is a fascinating pass time in the city that is for sure, but it is not all hustle and bustle, we had a fantastic day on the floating market, this is a must see whilst in Bangkok.

To get around we used the Sky train which is a surprisingly easy experience in such a busy city. We did travel once in a Tuk Tuk just to say that we had tried it but not something I would repeat, they are not the most relaxing forms of travel!

Khoasan road is also a must see, with the vibrant nightlife and the street food vendors selling a varied menu of grasshoppers, bamboo worms, silk larvae, crickets, weevils, ant queens and scorpions and of course noodles! I did have the most amazing foot massage here one evening whilst my husband enjoyed a cold beer.

Our next stop was Hua Hin, we had a taxi take us from Bangkok and we were surprised how little traffic there was once out of the City, our journey was a pleasure as we saw the rural Thailand.

We stayed at the Evason Hua Hin and wow, the welcome at this hotel was the friendliest that I have ever experienced. We had a villa with a private pool... absolute heaven! We decided that as we weren't going to leave the hotel very much on this part of the trip that we would take the All inclusive package, to us this was really good value, you still had a choice of restaurant and great selection of menu.

Our stay included bicycle hire and it was such a pleasant bike ride along the coast, certainly needed after all of the delicious food!

I would certainly go back to the Evason, it was such a relaxing experience.

Then our final stop was Koh Samui, we stayed at the Imperial Boathouse which was directly on a beautiful beach, from here we enjoyed trips which included snorkeling and a speed boat trip to different islands.

We visited Fishermans village one evening and the choice of restaurants and the atmosphere was brilliant.

This will certainly not be our only trip to this amazing country, there is so much to see and do, in fact we are planning our next visit right now!
