Journaling The Journey
As many of my friends know, I love Thailand and so many of it’s glorious islands. Just not super touristy Phuket. We had 3 free nights at a Marriott resort expiring, so it made sense to give Phuket Marriott Nai Yang Resort and Spa a chance to prove me wrong. Located a few miles from […]
Hua Hin is Thailand’s original beach resort as it’s aristocratic roots date back to 1911 when the railroad arrived from Bangkok and some in the royal family built vacation homes here.
