Chiva-Som Hua Hin
After hours, I switched off the computer and left my cubicle. When I looked out the office's window, I saw high-rise buildings and winding motorways. Cars were stuck in a traffic jam day in, day out.

Best Western Premier Bayphere Pattaya
As the sun shone through the deep mangrove jungle canopy, I walked down a long wooden bridge between Best Western Premier Bayphere Pattaya and the pristine Na Jomtien beach and enjoyed the gentle breeze. Looking around, other vacationers were showing off their surfing talent and small eateries enticed families with fresh seafood options.

Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya
It was a relaxing evening when I wandered down the pristine Wong Amat beach. The Sun sank over North Pattaya's horizon and the azure skies began to turn pink and orange as a brisk sea wind swept through. This looked to be a reward for vacationers staying at Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya.

Centara Reserve Samui
When I arrived at Centara Reserve Samui, the Gulf of Thailand's brilliant turquoise sea was set against a dramatic background of bright blue skies and the pure white Chaweng beach. It was a sunny morning, but the fresh sea breeze kept me cool and relaxed.
