Tusita Resort & Spa: A Charming Hotel in Chumphon

Posted on July 2, 2013 | Leave a comment

By late afternoon, after a long long road we finally stop

at Tusita Resort & Spa in Chumphon. This is a good option for those who decide to rent a car and drive from Bangkok to Phuket or the south of Thailand in general. The entrance of the hotel is awsome, with a Thai traditional decoration.

In my room, the decoration is also really nice. Too bad that many details are outdated. Undoubtedly, the whole has a certain charm, but deserves a little refreshment to add a modern touch (pictures 1 & 2).

The bed is very comfortable and honestly it was SO hard to leave it in the morning! This is a good point (LOL!). The bathroom is large and clean, with a big shower and no bathtub. Not a problem for me, I don’t use bathtub. As I only stayed here one night, I did not have the time to swim, or just relax by the pool (picture 3).

Could you imagine, having a pool in front your room and not using it? The setting is very relaxing and exotic, with the profusion of plants, palm trees, teck furnitures and decorative elements with elephants carved in stone (pictures 4 & 5). But it was impossible to enjoy it, mostly because of mosquitoes massive attacks!

I had the same problem in some places in Poland! Quite amazing mosquitoes in Poland, isn’t it? For ending this review of the Tusita Resort & Spa: the other asset of the hotel is its proximity to the Pak Tao estuary, to visit the fishermen in early the morning. And watch the return of the fishing : maybe see you there? To be continued in my next post …

Tusita Resort & Spa: un hôtel de charme à Chumphon

Posted on July 2, 2013 | Leave a comment

En fin de journée, nous nous arrêtons au Tusita Resort & Spa,

à Chumphon. C’est une bonne option pour tous ceux qui décideraient de descendre en voiture de Bangkok à Phuket ou vers le sud de la Thaïlande en général. L’entrée de l’hôtel est très réussie, dans un style thaï traditionnel.

Dans ma chambre, la décoration est aussi très agréable. Dommage que certains détails soient un peu vieillots. Car l’ensemble a beaucoup de charme, mais mériterait un petit rafraîchissement pour lui donner une touche plus actuelle (photos 1 & 2).

Le lit est très confortable, honnêtement j’ai eu un mal fou à le quitter! Un excellent signe (LOL!). La salle de bain est grande, propre et bien aérée. Comme je n’y ai dormi qu’une nuit, je n’ai pas eu le temps ni de me baigner, ni de farniente au bord de la piscine, sacrilège (photo 3)!

Le cadre est vraiment relaxant et très dépaysant, grâce à la profusion de plantes, de palmiers, d’éléments décoratifs en teck et d’éléphants sculptés dans la pierre (photos 4 & 5). Impossible d’en profiter pleinement, les moustiques sont sans pitié!

J’ai eu le même problème de moustiques dans certains endroits en Pologne, incroyable non! Pour conclure cette revue sur le Tusita Resort & Spa: l’autre gros atout de l’hôtel réside dans sa proximité avec l’estuaire de Pak Tao, pour une chouette excursion matinale chez les pêcheurs. A suivre…

Thaïland: On the road from Amphawa to Chumphon

Posted on June 30, 2013 | Leave a comment

Second day of the trip:

we leave Amphawa and its klongs to Chumphon. A lunch on the lovely Ban Krut Beach, almost desert and very clean. And as we say in French, “no shadow of (pas l’ombre)” a tourist (picture 2).

A few tables scattered here and there: excellent thai food. I’m intrigued by the giant Buddha off set on a small hill facing seafront (picture 3). After lunch, we visit the temple Prachuap Khiri Khan, where the giant Buddha rises.

Then we hit the road to Hin Chang Spirit House. A temple dedicated to Ganesh. I didn’t count how many statues of elephants, but it’s pretty impressive (pictures 4 & 5)! You can find all sizes and colors. And not to mention firecrackers … yes, deafening (I’m not exaggerating) with a maximum of smoke, facing the altar (picture 6)!

And while the mini bus away from Hin Chang Spirit House, I have a king of vision on the side of the road! My meeting of the day! A traveling monk from Cambodia (pictures 1 & 7). Angor Wat is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. There is something mystical and magical (I promise I will post some pictures!)

. The monk walked from Cambodia and goes south of Thailand. I couldn’t explain why he reminds me of David Carradine on the road in the famous Kung Fu series (I think?). Undaunted, the monk continues his road, a water bottle in hand. The best meetings are often those due to chance … Don’t you think so?
