Thailand’s party isle goes chic
Times nline UK -
It’s the kind of beach where you can lie in a hammock all day long doing nothing but listen to the distant put-put of brightly painted fishing boats. Although tranquil and secluded Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi has several attractive places to stay including two hotels catering to grown-up “flashpackers” and some simple bungalows that cost only £10 a night. In a prime beachfront location tucked discreetly among the towering coconut palms is the newly opened Rasananda Ko Pha-Ngan’s first five-star hotel. Most rooms on the island offer few mod cons — for a tenner you can expect to get a thin mattress a table-top fan and a small tiled bathroom. The 44 villas and suites at Rasananda are rather more lavish each having its own plunge pool indoor and outdoor bathroom teak furniture and hand-woven silk furnishings. There is butler service a wine lounge and a swim-up bar. Even the journey is being given the five-star treatment — a plush new speedboat whisks guests directly from Ko Samui.

Not to mention easy access to the two airport expressways a great place especially for shopaholics as malls and street markets are only a walk away. That first night seemed to call for a cultural show and dinner at Siam Niramit.
