Simple life resort Koh Tao

Image
Location Almost opposite the 7-11 at the heart of Sairee beach you will find Simple life resort. It's a fairly large resort with good facilities. All rooms are located a bit from the main street so you will not be disturbed at night by the party people. But still the beach is just a few minutes away! Facilities The hotel has a large restaurant and bar located at the main street. From here you can enjoy your meal or drink while watching the business of the small island. A bit tucked away from the road is the reception area. I was welcomed with a big smile and checking only took a few minutes. Just behind the reception a lush garden hides the swimming pool and the building with rooms. Even though it's a rather big hotel it is quiet.  Rooms The rooms are large and nicely decorated. There is a large double bed, a desk with fridge and a large closet to tuck away your backpack and clothes. The closet had a safe to s...

Crocodile farm Bangkok Samut Prakarn

Crocs, crocs and crocs... Spending a few days in Bangkok is fun. The city has a lot to offer to tourist or frequent visitors. Beautiful temples, the royal palace, river cruise or biking around town, you have much choice how to spend your day. But one thing is sure you will be accompanied by a lot of other tourist. So if you want to avoid the mainstream spots and all the crowds try to make a trip over to the  crocodile farm  in Samut Prakarn. How to get there Samut Prakarn is on the outskirts of Bangkok, a bit below Suvarnabhumi airport. To reach the crocodile farm you can take a taxi anywhere in Bangkok. I guess a metered taxi will cost around 300 to 500 bht. A more convenient way is to take the BTS to Bearing station and from there take a taxi which will cost an additional 120 bht depending on traffic. Currently the BTS line is being extended so in the future the last part by taxi will be much shorter causing the trip to get there to be more easy. ...

Above Eleven rooftop bar

Image
Above Eleven is a rooftop bar and restaurant on the 33 rd floor of the Fraser Suites Sukhumvit in Sukhumvit Soi 11. Every day doors open at 6 pm until 2 am. The entrance is at the back of Fraser suites. The bar and restaurant are surrounded by many other large office and residential towers but still provides a great view of Bangkok. Especially when the sun sets and Bangkok turns on its lights. The rooftop bar is split in two levels so make sure to visit the top one for the best views. And don't forget to visit the toilets, when you do you know why! When I visited the place I was seated next to the glass fence. You could look over it and look straight down 33 floors which did not feel quite that safe. The food was very nice with reasonable portions. Enjoying the view while having a drink is great. As the place is popular with locals and tourists be sure to make reservations. Dress Code: a semi-casual dress code policy is strictly enforced. For gentlemen, dress shor...
