The Anantara Riververside Resort and Spa Bangkok - Where urban and rural creates excellence


If you are in search for a high end, stylish and luxurious hotel with a rural warm and welcoming feel… This is for you. The Anantara is a place where you in peace could watch the sunset from your private balcony... where you could hide away and practically find anything you would ever need without leaving the resort... And at the same time be only minutes away from everything that signify tourism and big city madness.

After a taxi ride through the frantic midday traffic of the capital we arrived at the Anantara River Side Resort and Spa. Instantly welcomed with warm smiles and lovely chilled towels we were asked to sit down and relax while they brought over refreshing drinks and checked us in.

Our lovely comfy bed! complete with pretty flowers.

The Anantara is a grand resort hidden away on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. The beautiful buildings of the resort are embraced by an exotic landscape of majestic palm trees and greenery. The beautiful oasis that is the pool area could not be more attractive. Unfortunately we only spent one day down by the pool... Shopping and exploring got the best of us this time! However we both agreed that we should return and make sure to spend a few days just relaxing and enjoying the facilities of this tranquil gem.
I would highly recommend a visit! You can find The Anantara Riverside resort and Spa Bangkok website HERE

Thai Reminiscing



In the middle of planning a long and well deserved winter holiday I stumbled across a bunch of photos from our latest trip to Thailand. I was immediately struck by some serious Holiday nostalgia! 


Earlier this year in March, My man and I took three weeks off to defrost our sun deprived bodies in the East Asian sun. We were at the time working on two different yachts in two different countries so after spending weeks apart it was a real treat to finally have some time to ourselves.


We flew to Bangkok where we spent three busy days shopping and street food feasting before heading off to the beaches and tranquillity of the Island Koh Chang.
