Another day in paradise

8/28/2017

0 Comments

 
The master of surprise as I like to call him aka my husband, woke me up one morning at 5 am and quickly before I fell back to sleep, told me that he had booked us a sunrise breakfast on a private island. 
I will admit a small part of me wanted to kill him for waking me up so early on vacation (I am so not a morning person)

Obviously, sense prevailed and the excitement of our morning took over   ​

Those pink and purple tones were worth the lack of sleep. Just incredible

Now unfortunately his best laid plans were sabotaged by the pesky weather, as it meant that the tide didn't go out far enough for us to have breakfast on the island. So we had a romantic breakfast on the long tail boat instead, and for me it was just as cute.

Bobbing around on the ocean, with the most amazing view and a cup of coffee was out of this world and so tranquil

Once breakfast was over, and the tide was out we set sail for my favorite of the islands Koh Hong.

When we could drag ourselves away from the sanctuary of our Villa, our favourite restaurant was the dining room . The food really was to die for. Everything we ate was amazing.

I had the burrata to start, followed by pasta and followed it with a pineapple tart tatin, all of which were so delicious

My husband highly recommended his poached chicken breast

After dinner we headed down to the beach for what I think is the cutest thing ever... movies under the stars!  What an amazing idea!? Made even better by the movie being "The man with the golden gun ". Perfect!
​
You get to relax on a sun lounger under the stars and listen to the palms rustling in the breeze, with a blockbuster movie illuminating the large cinema screen... along with homemade popcorn.

​Having become a little obsessed with the magical little islands that are the renowned Phang Nga Bay national park, we decided to have the resort arrange a long tale boat excursion and a guide to discover them close up

There is no better way to unwind on vacation than with a massage as you may have guessed from my Spa days around the world page! If I was a rich woman, id play someone to massage me all day. In fact I spend most of my massages, wishing for the time to slow down ha ha

The treatment rooms were amazing. You had a little room to change separate from your partner (we were having a couples massages) and also a private and separate chill out area for your post massage relax

My huband and I both chose a Thai herbal massage which is a full body massage using warm poultices which contain plai, ginger, turmeric and lemongrass. These are applied to specific pressure points, using gentle and rolling movements, to condition skin and induce a sense of well-being
