What makes the island perfect and good to the eyes are the beautiful white sands and blue seas that surround it. Direct flights can be gotten from India to Phuket and the costs are not high, in fact, they are very cheap.

Bangkok is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. While Bangkok has a plethora of choices of hotels running the gamut from very cheap backpacker rooms to ultra luxurious penthouses,  one thing it could be said to be lacking is quirky and unique hotel accommodations. In some of the older parts of the city there can be found some remarkable old architecture and some young entrepreneurs are beginning to use these buildings in an imaginative way. One way they are doing this is by creating unique boutique hotels, which offer guests a quaint and luxurious hotel setting unlike traditional hotels in Bangkok. Boutique hotels in Bangkok in particular are historic, humble, and best of all, quiet and cheap. While these projects are still ongoing, tourists can expect to see more of these hotels in the very near future. For two examples of heritage status buildings that have been transformed into beautiful hotels in Bangkok, take a look at Phraya Palazzo and The Siam, both on the banks of the Chao Phraya River

Key Takeaways:

• Heritage hotel accommodations have proliferated in India, Cambodia and Laos, but have been a rarity in Thailand.
• According to conservation consultant Yongtanit Pimonsathean, heritage status to buildings in Bangkok is often applied to temples and palaces, but rarely to ordinary structures.
• Young entrepreneurs are now converting older buildings in Bangkok into boutique hotels, but the process is economically challenging.

“Heritage hotels, many in crumbling Rajput palaces, have been one of the main reasons to visit Rajasthan, in India, since the 1960s.”

When one does the counting you are sure to count about 1,400 Islands in Thailand and this makes it difficult to make a choice of which Island to visit. The author thought that on going to Phuket he could go over to Koh Phi Phi Island which was rumored to be a beautiful slice of paradise. But he was disappointed. People have visited the Island and caused the death of its beauty. This situation became so bad that last year the Thai government shut Maya Bay beach which was usually overcrowded and was featured in the movie, The Beach, which made it famous.

So on his second trip to Thailand, the author had a wish to find his own island that had not been destroyed by over tourism. That meant leaving the bustling parts of Phuket to find a little unknown Island named Koh Yao Noi. This island takes about thirty minutes from Phuket to reach and lies on the famous Phang Nga Bay. The Island has great contrasts to Phuket. The community here are not rowdy and are mostly muslims. One will never find a nightclub, queues, or much noise. The way of life is the traditional way which involves fishing and farming. But one thing that is fascinating is that there are quite a number of hotels that are high end and the author visited the newest of them all.

Key Takeaways:

• Thailand has many of Islands and it is estimated that there are about 1400 of them, so deciding which one to go to is not an easy endeavor.
• When the author first went to Phuket he thought that the Island of Koh Phi Phi would be a paradisiacal place for him to visit but was disappointed.
• Lesser known islands such as Koh Yao Noi as a much safer bet for people looking for unspoilt paradise away from all the tourists.

“Koh Yao Noi doesn’t have nightclubs, queues or noise – the tightknit community has clung to its traditional way of life like fishing, and coconut farming.”
