Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort
A sandy path of the Shore Walk materialises in front of the Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort during low tide and the Sun reflects on the Andaman Sea waves, creating a mesmerising backdrop.

Holiday Inn Resort Samui Bophut Beach
The best time to get vitamin D is in the early morning when the Sun reflects on the clear waters of the Gulf of Thailand. I reclined by the ocean without a mask to inhale the fresh air on a private sand sundeck close to Holiday Inn Resort Samui Bophut Beach.

My Beach Resort Phuket
A yacht fleet was drifting leisurely in Chalong Bay as storm clouds were gathering when I arrived at My Beach Resort Phuket. I lounged to enjoy the nice sea breeze that flowed over the lobby.

Dewa Phuket Resort and Villas
It was sprinkling when I traversed a narrow lane from Dewa Phuket Resort and Villas to beautiful Nai Yang Beach in the late afternoon. The earthy scent assaulted my nose as the rain clouds swept over the sky, set against the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea and a white sand beach. This scene seemed like it came straight out of a painting depicting a romantic holiday during the rainy season.
