Dear readers,

| Painting at Anantara Si Kao |
You're in for a treat in July, as I visit a part of Amazing
Thailand I've never been before (
Trang and
Krabi) and revisit some areas I first went to in 1988 (such as Phi Phi Island and
Phuket).
Among the hotels, resorts, activities and attractions I'll blog about on Thailand Jing Jing as I criss-cross Phang Nga Bay are:
Anantara Si Kao Resort and Spa, near Krabi
Red Ginger Chic Resort, Ao Nang, Krabi
Pakasai Resort, Ao Nang, Krabi
Bhu Nga Thani Resort and Spa, Railay Bay, Ao Nang
Phi Phi Island Village Beach Resort and Spa
Koh Yao Yai Village
Kayaking through limestone and mangroves in
Phang Nga Bay.
Snorkelling on
Phi Phi Island
Jungle Splash Water Park, Phuket
I resisted the urge to visit the
Ritz Carlton at Pulay Bay where the stunningly beautiful
Hangover 2 movie wedding scene was shot, though I did speak to one hotelier whose location was rejected after the producer got seasick!
Many of these blogs will take a wellness angle, with wonderful spa treatments which have me oiled up and steaming and creaming, and some take an eco-angle, kayaking and snorkelling and doing my bit to save
your earth.
Oh, by the way, do not call Phi Phi Island part of Phuket. It is part of Krabi province, and a good way to annoy the locals by getting it wrong,
jing jing.
