As an expat living in Thailand, I have extensively explored the country and Phuket is one of the best places for luxury resorts, wellness, cuisine and activities, offering endless things to do in Phuket and places to stay. It’s Thailand’s biggest island, made up of beautiful beaches and many different areas to see, from the vibrant Patong to the laidback Rawai in the south of the island.
As a frequent traveller across luxury resorts and five-star hotels in Southeast Asia, Anantara Quy Nhon Villas stands among the most exceptional resorts I’ve experienced. With only 25 villas, this resort is the definition of privacy, comfort and indulgence. Most of the time, the entire beach was mine, allowing me to take in the sunrise from my private pool in total seclusion.
Located just off the main road running through Ubud centre, Kaamala Resort is the perfect base for exploring Ubud while immersing in ultimate tranquillity. As I arrived, the intense noise of traffic faded, and I was immediately transported to a calm oasis. With 10 villa types to choose from, this award-winning resort in the heart of Ubud ensures seclusion, comfort and tranquillity.
Over the years, I’ve explored Bali extensively and on my travels I’ve discovered some of the most gorgeous unique hotels and amazing things to do in Ubud and Canggu in particular, two places that totally captured my heart. Only two hours apart, they could not feel more different — Ubud is renowned for its serene rice terraces, lush jungle, and spiritual calm, while Canggu embraces sun-soaked beaches, surf culture, and modern-chic energy.
As one of Southeast Asia’s most captivating destinations, Vietnam is a country full of history, culture, and landscapes waiting to be discovered. With 28 provinces stretching from misty northern mountains to sun-drenched southern islands, each carries its own story and there are some amazing options when choosing where to stay in Vietnam.
Renowned for its vibrant nightlife, delicious street food, bustling traffic, and breathtaking temples, there are so many incredible things to do in Bangkok, making it one of the best cities in the world. As an expat living in this chaotic city, I have explored one of the world’s best food scenes, temple-hopped, visited glamorous rooftop bars and experienced some of the world’s most luxurious hotels — acting like a tourist in my own city.
