Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 31/01/2013
» There are various reasons why Rayong province's Koh Samet is one of the all-time favourite islands among Thai holidaymakers. Of course, I have a few of my own too, for example, the fine sand there is unmatched and, unlike other popular islands, virtually all the beaches are accessible to the public; the sea is among the clearest in the Gulf of Thailand; it's not very far from Bangkok, and accommodation is affordable.

» Over the past two years, the hill of Hin Lek Fai in Hua Hin has become one of the Kingdom's downhill mountain-biking hot spots, with five adrenaline-pumping DH trails for lovers of the gravity sport to enjoy. In mid-March, however, access to the best three of the trails was denied to downhillers when staff of the TV relay stations on the hilltop renovated and locked their crumbling metal gate that was previously left open.
