    Katathani beach resort

    March 8, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Hi guys arrived here safely. Didnt get a great deal of sleep. Watched Bohemian Rhapsody on the plane. Thought it was good. The resort is massive. Will take us 8 days to get around to everything here. Have just had a bite to eat and got to our room. Well knackered at the minute.Read more

  • Day 2

    March 9, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Day 2: bit of a sleep in. Both of us out like a light last night. Morning consisted of a wonderful buffet breakfast followed up by me buying new sunnies (yep, 2 days in and lost my sunglasses). Spent alot of time sunbaking and pool dipping. Wonderful lunch at the fishermans Wharf followed by some more tanning (or my case slight burning) and afternoon drinkies by the pool. Was well looked after by Lesack (the barman) at happy hour at the beach club. Great buffet dinner again at the Chom Talay with brazilian carnival dancers to entertain. Feel like we are in Paradise. Beautiful place!Read more

  • Day 3 sleep, relax, repeat

    March 10, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    We didnt think we could be more relaxed than day 2. But we managed to pull it off on day 3. We did everything the same except we had a massage as well. Just another day in paradise...

  • Phuket Town (Shopping Plaza)

    March 11, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Usual buffet breakfast at Chom Talay followed by a couple hours by the pool. Visited Phuket Town for a few hours this arvo. Standard shopping plaza. Overcast but still warm day. Chom Talay again for dinner. Thai night theme. Food was great, although a little spicy some of it. Another good day overallRead more

  • Phi Phi Islands

    March 12, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ 🌙 27 °C

    What an amazing day today was!! Tour around Phi Phi islands, went snorkelling, jumped off the boat at Pileh Lagoon, buffet lunch and a spot of shopping at Phi Phi Don and saw Maya Bay (just gorgeous). Absolutely awesome!! One to remember for sure.Read more

  • Something new...

    March 13, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Relaxing but eventful day. Lounged by the pool in the morning where we got to experience a free scuba dive which was cool. Next time - the ocean! For lunch we did the thai cooking class which was a bit of fun. Tom Kha Ghoong (white shrimp in Coconut Cream Soup) for entree and Khao Pad Gai (Fried rice with Chicken) was the main. Deliciously cooked too i must add 😀 After the usual happy hour drinks and the Surf & Turf @ Chom Talay dinner we headed out to Patong Beach for a spot of night shopping. Hustle & bustle but was an experience.Read more

  • Meeting the gentle giant

    March 14, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Our 10yr wedding anniversary. And what a day. Visited the 🐘 sanctuary in the morning where we got to feed, pat, play & bath with elephants. "babe, an elephant just walked passed you" is not something you say everyday. What an awesome experience with these amazing creatures. Nothing like having one standing right in front of you. Surreal feeling. Enjoyed a romantic 6 course tapas meal to celebrate our anniversary. The perfect end to a day we will never forget.Read more

  • Last full day

    March 15, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ 🌬 30 °C

    Our last full day in Paradise. Lots of rest and relaxation. Fantastic breakfast again @ the Chom Talay restaurant. Many hours spent by the pool and headed down to the beach for a change of scenery. Even managed another massage to top it off. Holidays dont get much better than thisRead more

  • Home time

    March 16, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    Heading home. Overall we had a wonderful holiday. Lots of memories made and we will remember Phuket fondly. Will highly recommend Katathani to all. We found it humid most days but bearable. The pool water was very warm. Almost too warm some days. Really enjoyed Singapore Airlines. Seating was comfortable, service was good. Highly recommend also.Read more
