Luxury trips and holidays in Thailand – 12 most beautiful hotels
Thailand – a wealth of flavors and aromas. A country saturated with colors and distinguished by its rich culture. Beautiful beaches surrounded by rocks and breathtaking views. A place where everyone will find something for themselves. What do you think of when you hear the word "Thailand"? The first thing that comes to mind are the above-mentioned paradise beaches. Some are empty, like Mai Khao Beach, where we can hide in the shade of a palm tree and soak up the solitude. Others are famous, e.g. Railay Beach, where hundreds of tourists come every day to spend at least half a day in a fairy-tale environment. The crowd does not detract from her charm, she is a beauty in herself. Climbing enthusiasts will feel like in paradise here.
For those looking for absolute silence and seclusion, there are smaller islands, such as Koh Yao Yai or Koh Yao Noi, which can be reached, for example, from Phuket, and a fast boat cruise will take no more than 40 minutes. Koh Jum is intended for those craving nature and untouched areas - a magical place without luxury hotels, where the biggest attraction may be accommodation in bamboo houses. Koh Jum is often a destination in itself for backpackers. I could talk about such places for a long time, but there are definitely more of them...
The beginning of the journey is Phuket, unfairly associated with mass tourism. In fact, you may not experience tourism there at all. Intimate hotels, beautiful, pristine, sometimes even wild areas - this is Phuket. Everybody will find something for themselves. Lovers of good cuisine will feel like in paradise - you can eat delicious seafood and fresh fish here. Fans of European cuisine will also find something for themselves in the local menu, but delicacies are only the beginning of what Thailand has to offer. Temples, waterfalls and beautiful caves are just a taste of what awaits us next. For those looking for adventure, I recommend Khao Sok National Park with a beautiful lake and trekking paths. Yes! Yes! Thailand is not only about fabulous beaches and blissful laziness. But coming to the point: what are the most luxurious and best hotels in Thailand?

Even the most resistant to beauty will feel enchanted by the surroundings. The whole thing will be complemented by dinner at the restaurant in Skała, and after a blissful rest and a delicious breakfast (they serve really excellent breakfasts here, including Japanese cuisine), it is worth going kayaking.

The hotel area is large, which is its advantage. A buggy will pick us up in a few minutes, and bicycles are also available to guests.
