Thai Dining Theatre at The Millennium Hilton Bangkok

To be or not to be a foodie?

Time flies (already six and a half years of blogging!) and I feel more more and more gourmet (LOL)! During my (too) short stay in Bangkok, I was invited to a Thai Dining Theatre at the Millennium Hilton Bangkok.   

We start the evening with a cocktail at the Three Sixty Lounge, located in the 32th floor of the hotel, with an impressive view overlooking the Chao Phraya River. I also have a quick look at the roof terrace.

Our table is ready, we go to the Maya restaurant

of Thai specialties. 15 dishes on the menu, but the portions are small (and I skipped the desserts), a kind of “tapas” of Thai cuisine. Between each dish there is a Thai dance.     

In pictures: the Sarong Dance. Sorry foodie friends, my phone’s batteries have dropped me and I could only take very few pictures of the delicious dishes! Yes the food was amazing!         

This dinner was a really nice surprise. Cause usually I’m not fond of dining theatre. So if you stay for a short time in Bangkok and want to do a food tasting, while enjoying a dance show, check out the Maya.

Hillside Beach Club: The Sanda Spa and Serenity Beach

Hillside Beach Club-Turkey-Fethiye-1-Photo Mademoiselle Le K-copyright 2014

Lovers of the Mediterranean claim

that the blue of the Mediterranean Sea is unique: this is so true (picture 1)! I could spend hours gazing at this bright dense blue.                                  

But I have to cross the Hillside Beach Club to go to the Sanda Spa, nestled on a hillside in the heart of a luxuriant vegetation.       

The setting is extremely relaxing with comfortable wooden cottages, such as massage rooms.

The Sandi Spa’s therapists are from Bali:

great! Finally I’ll discover the famous Balinese massage! Even I am addicted to Asian massages, I haven’t had yet the opportunity to experience the Balinese massage.     

As always I prefer to be fasting for massages. When I took my RV, I didn’t really read the massage menu and just asked for a similar massage to a traditional Thai massage.   

Ie a massage a little painful at the time that stretches all the muscles of your body and makes you feel great the next day.

And I was recommended the Asian Nirvana,           

that lasts one hour and treats by pressures: ” Deep tissue therapie using elbow pressures” and performed with oil.

Another new detail for me: at the end of treatment, the therapist pats my back with these two warm instruments (picture above, left side), which I forgot the name (oops)! The feeling is very soothing, because the heat spreads throughout the spine.                 

After the treatment, I sloth in a comfortable large white chair, rocked by the sound of a small waterfall (picture 2). Then I head to the Serenity beach at the extreme opposite of the Sanda Spa (LOL!).

A small beautiful cove

where the beach is super quiet. You can access it either via a path that borders coast (picture above) or by boat (picture 4).    

Children are not allowed, neither revelers or noisy games and animations … And you can really relax with a sense of being far far away from the real world!    

Few chairs, few people. Most are with a book in hand. In the afternoon, it’s even better: as the beach is in shadow, there is almost no one.

You can have lunch on the beach. 

On the menu: healthy light kebabs with grilled chicken wrapped in thin bread. Good for my diet ; )    

There is no vegetarian menu, but there are tasty vegetables and extra fresh fruit juices (pictures above). 

To return to the main beach and lounge of the club, I decided to try the boat … Lovely! Almost like in Venice, LOL!

Hillside Beach Club: Room With a Soothing Seaview

The view, light & peaceful landscape! 

After a long journey – my first flight landed at midnight, followed by the boarding of my second flight at 4 a.m. – I decide to spend the next three hours in the coffee at the airport arrivals. What a surprise, a nice waitress and an outlet to recharge my laptop!      

Once seated on the plane to Fethiye, we wait more than an hour before taking off, lulled by the hysterical cries of a  temperamental kid! A nightmare!    

So you can imagine THE pleasure when early afternoon I finally open the door of my room at Hillside Beach Club! I am immediately caught by the sight (pictures 1 & 2)!

Difficult not feeling on holiday!

Every details, materials and colors of the decoration (recently renovated) encourage a certain indolence which frees the mind.                   

Offering free Wifi throughout the club, me and my computer (digital nomads) declare the couch facing the sea: our new workspace (picture 1)!              

We can access to the bathroom (very well equipped wirh separated toilets) through the terrace. The bathrobes are soft and I loved the detail of wooden curtain, with eyes that protect from bad luck (pictures 4 & 5).   

Each day, the maids creates a small flower arrangement, like the bougainvillea flowers in heart shape on the bed! Thank you for this delicate attention that have put me in a great mood!

Homely contemporary decor

White walls and comfortable huge bed, facing the soothing view to the landscape. Some nights, I could admire the starry sky or the moon reflection on the sea from my bed wedged into soft pillows!       

This allowed me to avoid mosquitoes (through the bay window closed). Everywhere they love me! But here, much less than in Poland for example, LOL! 

I also enjoyed the lighting with dimmer, plugs everywhere, including on each side of the bed, and behind sliding doors, a discreet large dressing with a long mirror.
