Best Kept Secrets

Does anyone know any hidden little places, that most tourists dont go in Thailand? My boyfriend and I are travelling at the end of august to Bangkok, Krabi, Singapore and then finally to Siem Reap and I would love to hear about anyone's experiences there. We are up for anything so please dont be shy. Thanks a bunch!

I spent a few days last year on the island of Ko Lanta. It's about 2 hours by car from Krabi. It was a great experience, there is tourism on the island but not so much that it's overrun by it. If you want a relaxing tropical island vacation, that's the place to go to. The only problem is that if you're going in August, it's going to be intolerably hot, so keep that in mind.

I spent 2 weeks in Koh Lak and loved it!!!


It's a small Island about 3 hours from Krabi by taxi.
Nothing very exciting going on there, but nice beaches, great little restaurants and not too many tourists.


I stayed at a place called 'The Andamania Beach Resort' (http://www.andamania.com/) and highly reccomend it.  It's a bit out of the way, but that's what I was looking for.


Enjoy your trip - Thailand is AMAZING!!!

Thailand
Groovy hotel chain in thailand www.reflections-thai.com/main.html
You have to (www.banyantree.com/en/bangkok/dining) for dinner or at least a drink – its a terrase in the clouds!
Best market in bangkok (in my opinion) is Chatuchak Market – and seriously allow several hours there!

Siem Reap
Stay at www.hoteldelapaixangkor.com or just stop in for a drink (tea or cocktail etc..) or book a suspended gazebo table for dinner) super plush!
I will try and find the details of my 4 hand massage place in Siem Reap – the jackpot is when u fine perfectly synchronised massagers, which is not easy..
The Blue Pumpkin (the one near the Old Market) is a super comfy place for juice and cool off with free internet.

I gotta run but I will be back online later if you want more..

Hotel Victoria was very nice some time ago. Only a 5 min tuktuk ride from city center, or easily walkable, but nice to be outside the hot frenzy of the center. Calm fully equipped luxury wrapped in a soothing oriental style. Conveniently on the road to wats etc. Local business people like to meet you there.
