Making a Splash
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 15/07/2022
» More than a theme water park for the young, Andamanda Phuket is where people of all ages can have a blast. The water park empire is in Kathu district, within easy reach of downtown Phuket and isn't far from main tourist hubs like Phuket Old Town and Patong Beach. I begin my aquatic adventure at noon and stay until the water park closed at 7pm. After spending hours sliding and flowing, fun wasn't the only thing I felt but also the flairs of Thai culture and mythology through the concept and design of Andamanda Phuket.

A cool summer
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 27/05/2022
» I would not be lying if I said I enjoyed the lack of foreign tourists in the last two years, and that is simply because it made holiday islands like Samui more accessible to domestic tourists like me. Though this may be at the detriment of the resorts and other businesses on the island. Koh Samui, with its vast stretches of beaches and pristine turquoise waters, is no stranger to luxury resorts, W Samui on Mae Nam Beach being one of them.

Escape the hustle and bustle
Life, Pattarawadee Saengmanee, Published on 10/03/2022
» Just a few days before I arrived in Koh Mak, Trat province, veteran marine ecologist Thon Thamrongnawasawat posted on Facebook about his collaboration with Bang Chak Corporation to rehabilitate a 10 rai field of seagrass around Koh Mak and Koh Kradat to build blue coastal carbon ecosystems.

Travelling the beautiful back roads
Life, Punsita Ritthikarn, Published on 20/01/2022
» Tucked away at home during the Covid-19 pandemic, I inevitably found it hard to fight against depression and loneliness. After my utopia island in Nintendo's Animal Crossing had lost an air of excitement, I needed a new start to reconnect with the beauty of nature and warm sunshine in the real world again. Eventually, I discovered the splendour and tranquillity of Thailand's northeastern countryside.

Although museums, libraries and other recreational places are still off-limits, we'll start with a walking tour of the Ratchaprasong neighbourhood, home to sacred Hindu deities, shopping malls and a sanctuary of street food connoisseurs where you can spend the whole day.

More than meets the eye
Life, Karnjana Karnjanatawe, Published on 16/09/2021
» It was not my intention to end my travel series in the Central Region with another site of a gigantic Buddha sculpture. For my previous story, I visited Ang Thong's Wiset Chaichan district and went to Wat Muang to pay respect to the 95m-tall Luang Pho Yai, the largest seated Buddha sculpture in the country.

Exploring islands less known
Life, Karnjana Karnjanatawe, Published on 22/04/2021
» Koh Nok Phao was not a familiar destination to me when talking about exploring the islands in the southern province of Surat Thani. Known as Muang Roi Koh (meaning Hundred Island Province), Surat Thani has many islands and islets that have not yet become well-known unlike Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao.

Heralding the next chapter
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 19/03/2021
» Hilton Hua Hin Resort & Spa, which has long been a Hua Hin favourite for three decades, keeps up with the time with a big renovation plan. The spacious lobby is now modern and minimalist, compared to its grand but old-fashioned vibe in the past. The iconic floor-to-ceiling glass windows allow in ample natural light and afford guests a sense of arrival with a view of the swimming pool down to the horizon, befitting a beachfront property. Facilities and accommodations have also been refreshed while the garden and swimming pool area is up next for renovation.
