Now and Forever

by pushpitha Posted on

Getting married and changing life forever has to be the most important day of any one’s life. Each couple wants to celebrate their wedding in their own special way and everyone wants it to be perfect, according to their own definition of the word.

Couples all over the world are increasingly turning to beach weddings as stunning locations around the world are just a plane ride away. Soft powdery sand underfoot, the stunning setting of a blue sea highlighted by striking tropical foliage and the background sound of waves lapping the shore is many couple’s idea of the best setting to celebrate that special day besides giving the proceedings a touch of informality. The beach is a naturally beautiful setting and there is no need to embellish such a venue, especially if it is a sunny tropical destination where a blue sea or a colorful sunset is always at hand to lend their magic. The biggest advantage of a beach wedding is that if family and friends are invited they too are assured of having a wonderful time prompted by the fun location. Everyone can be relaxed and less formally dressed and even be without shoes! There will be much less rushing around as the wedding ceremony and reception can all be held in one location and it will also help to keep things intimate. Another advantage is that everything can be conveniently arranged beforehand by talking to a wedding planner at the venue of choice. The onsite wedding planner will pay attention to the bride’s needs, provide menus, flowers, entertainment and will make sure that everything goes well. Perfect wedding planning will allow the bride and her family to be relaxed.

Although Koh Phangan is famous for its noisy and crowded full moon beach parties at Haad Rin beach, the island has several quiet bays, coves and stretches of golden sandy beaches dotted around that are away from crowds and are perfect for beach weddings. Many hotels offer comprehensive packages covering the ceremony, the reception, accommodation and even the honeymoon. Here couples can walk down petal strewn sand to a simple floral archway under which vows can be exchanged. They can choose to be married in a western or Thai wedding ceremony that will include a blessing from a Buddhist monk. The best time to get married at Koh Phangan is between December and March when the temperatures are pleasant, there is no rain and there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy water sports. July and August just after the dry season is the other favorable period to consider getting married here.

Stay at Rasananda Koh Phangan Villa, Resort & Spa to enjoy a perfect tropical location right on the beach. As one of key Koh Phangan hotels, guests are offered a selection of spacious pool, ocean and garden villas and suites that is the ideal accommodation from which to enjoy the many aspects of a wonderful location. The other interesting features of one of prominent Koh Phangan resorts are dining venues that reflect the aesthetic of its location and amenities and facilities that provide the perfect background for an unforgettable vacation.

A romantic escapade into the royal retreat

by pushpitha Posted on

Discovered by Royalty who has maintained a passion for this ‘Royal Getaway’ in to the snug embrace of the solitary coastal stretch, Hua Hin has soon found itself playing the role of what nature obviously intended it to be – one of the best Honeymoon destinations in all Thailand.

This sleepy fishing village located on the sunrise side of the Gulf of Thailand was discovered by King Rama vii nearly a century ago and it did not take him long to make it his summer vacation place which led it to the place being followed by a train of royalty who clearly saw what all visitors to Hua Hin feels, a sense of dreamy reclusive ambience that inspires and is inspired by softer emotions, delicate expressions and timeless memories.

The spectacular beach of Hua Hin though seemingly stretches into endlessness is actually a 5 kilometre coastal area between a rocky headland and southern end that is a cliff which is graced with ancient Buddhist temples. The beach itself has in addition maintained quiet a demeanour, and a reputation for safety in contrast to other popular Thai beaches that is possibly due to the constant surveillance and presence of police and royal guards who are there for the occasional presence of royalty at his mansion.

In this heavenly surroundings that seems to have carved itself out of all boundaries of worldly constraints, time itself seems to stand still as one gazes into the spectacular beach at sunrise or sunset or better still soak up the sun at mid afternoon while sipping a refreshing fruit cocktail or snuggling up together to enjoy some succulent seafood at moonlight in a romantic seaside eatery. A couple can break away from the monotony if at all by taking a horse rider together or go kite surfing or jet skiing or better still stroll around for sightseeing of exotic Thai temples of which this region can boast of plenty.

With such a spectacular backdrop the Hua hin Hotels have the chance to grant their visitors some amazing ocean views from the sea facing rooms or just as picturesque sights of the lush green plantations on the inland suites. Anantara Hua Hin Thailand Resort offers an array of such excellent choices together with the well known international standards of hospitality that it has maintained over the years. This Hotel Hua hin exudes the charm of Thai interior designs and also offers the delightful flavours of authentic Thai culinary specialties to enthral its visitors.
