Bangkok

Bangkok Thailand is beyond simple description. Bangkok is an experience that cannot be duplicated anywhere else in the world. If you ask 100 people to describe Bangkok, you will probably get 99 different attempts. Some will surely dwell on Bangkok’s traffic and smog and what can be off-putting aromas. Others will revel in the hedonism available in Bangkok’s many entertainment venues.

But finally and simply, Bangkok is extremely personal. For one person, shopping in Bangkok will be that sought after rare experience. Luxuriating in a fine Bangkok health spa will be the appeal for another jet setter. And while Bangkok offers all of the above, it is so much more.

Bangkok is a culture, a people, a relationship, a philosophy and at the same time a harsh reality. Your Bangkok is still there waiting to be discovered.

Even the full Thai name of the Bangkok is special, the longest in the world … Full Name of Bangkok

    On my last holidays, I went to Koh Samui, to Kamalaya spa resort, they picked me up at the airport and the ride was exhilarating, so much green everywhere!

    What a place!! It wasn’t my first time in Thailand, I go there every two years or so, but I have to say I haven’t seen a hotel like that, it wasn’t only the facilities, it was everything, the staff, the food, the treatments…

    I will come back next year for sure, Kamalaya is one of the best spa resorts I have been to and Koh Samui is a magical place.

    Thanks for your blog.
