Aside from the insect drama at the first place, every place has been very pleasing! BUT all that being said&#8230;.this place we at at now in Khao Lak takes the cake for awesome! We slept very well, the beds are not soft by any stretch of the imagination, but they aren&#8217;t any harder than anywhere else. The room was quiet and the air com was perfect. Then we got up and the breakfast was fantastic. The first really good buffet breakfast we have had this summer. Most places have had a set breakfast of egg, toast and fruit. Here they have real bacon, French toast, all kinds of fruit, cereal, croissants, eggs made to order, yoghurt and granola, chicken nuggets??, some Asian food too, green curry and rice. Anyway, it&#8217;s great! We had our fill then hit the pool. Great weather day. I (we) may in fact have gotten a little too much sun as I was out until 2:30 \u00f0\u0178\u02dc\u00b3\u00f0\u0178\u02dc\u00b3 before I realized it. <\/p>\n<p>Loving the pool access room. I think I have secured an additional 5 nights and hopefully will not have to change rooms. I guess we will see when the time comes. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/UserFiles\/2014\/07\/image194.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/UserFiles\/2014\/07\/image194-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/image194-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/image194-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/image194.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The view from the room&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/UserFiles\/2014\/07\/image195.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/UserFiles\/2014\/07\/image195-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/image195-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/image195-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/image195.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And our balcony&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/UserFiles\/2014\/07\/image196.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/UserFiles\/2014\/07\/image196-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/image196-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/image196-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/image196.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our traveling companions are delighted!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/UserFiles\/2014\/07\/image197.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/UserFiles\/2014\/07\/image197-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/image197-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/image197-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.laurie.casaroberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/image197.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After we had our sun and pool time we thought we should go for a walk and explore the beach.
