We were excited when we made the decision to stay on Ko Phi Phi, Thailand, the island that is the jumping point for the popular day tour of Maya Bay where The Beach was filmed. We heard that hotels can get...

We needed a place to stay the days leading up to New Years Eve in Thailand, but so many hotels were already booked up for the holiday. Fortunately, we found Krabi Cinta House in Krabi Town that was affordable...

I finally lived out one of my dreams of staying in a bungalow right next to the beach at Pine Bungalow in Krabi at Klong Muang Beach, Thailand. It was exactly what I was envisioning and was super happy that we...

Grand View Hotel in Patong Beach, Thailand, was a wonderful place for us to stay with the white sand beaches and lively Bangla Road just a 20-minute walk away from our hotel. Close enough to the action, yet...
