This resort is a five minute walk from our house, on the beach. We love their 'Mieng Kham' -- a Thai appetizer dish that you make your own by filling leaves with your choice of lime, nuts, ginger, onions, chillies, garlic, fish, and/or sauce. They have outstanding mango daiquiris and other healthy virgin juices.

Parks & Nature
Not for the faint-hearted! You will find yourself squeezed between large rocks and clutching onto ropes to go up and down, but along the way you'll discover small caves and the view from the top is truly stunning. To get to the lookout point, take the trail on your left (starting from the road). For a shorter trail that does not go all the way up, go to the right. Do take a water bottle and good shoes. There is now also a trail to a quiet beach, to the East side of the mountain.

Open daily from 8:30am to 4:30pm. Easy shaded walks that take about 1 hour including a climb to the top of a viewing tower -- well worth it.

We love our beach and there is always so much to do. If you are not into kiting, or if there isn't enough wind, other options are to go for a peaceful run in the early mornings or in the evenings or practicing yoga. We have a kayak, SUP's, a Laser, and a rowing skull -- all can be a good way to entertain oneself and get exercise. Even just lazing around on the beach, building sand-castles or reading a book can be a treat in itself.
