✨ The sea and pool are just steps away! — Panwaburi Beachfront Resort 🏝️✨

📍 Location: Panwaburi Beachfront Resort

This hotel offers beautifully clean rooms where you can fully immerse yourself in the tropical resort atmosphere 🏨✨. What impressed me the most was the direct pool access from the room! Waking up and immediately relaxing by the water is the ultimate luxury, truly an extraordinary experience 💙.

Additionally, the beach is just a short walk away, and taking a stroll while listening to the sound of the waves is simply the best. And above all... the floating breakfast! 🍳🥐🧺
A luxurious breakfast served on a tray floating in the pool, perfect for Instagram-worthy photos and maximum excitement, making you feel like the star of a movie 🏖️✨.

This resort is perfect for those who want to spend their time quietly and leisurely 🌺.

🗺️ 
Day 1: Checked in and spent the day unwinding at the beach right in front of the hotel — stayed till midnight enjoying the waves 🌊
Day 2: A slow morning, then a short 4-minute walk to JB Sunset Beach for a magical sunset view 🌅
Day 3: Pool day! Got my dose of sunshine (and a little sunburn 😅) by the pool, ending the day with another beautiful sunset right from the hotel poolside 🏖️
Day 4: Early flight back to Singapore ✈️

📍 Travel Tip:
Sometimes the best way to enjoy a place is to just chill at your hotel instead of rushing through every attraction. 💆♀️✨

🥘 Food Recommendation:
Don’t miss Nevermind Restaurant — they serve a great mix of European and authentic Thai dishes at reasonable prices. Totally worth it! 🍝🍲

🏠 Stay:
Andamantra Resort and Villa Phuket — absolutely loved the location and the relaxing vibe! 🌴💛

Thailand Travel Diary 🇹🇭
A Summary of the Best Places I Visited in Phuket 🎯

Phuket, Thailand's largest island, is known as one of the world's leading resort destinations. 🏝️

I'm so glad I went to Tiger Kingdom, where I could take photos with tigers, something I've always wanted to do!
It's about a 20-minute drive from Patong Beach, and the photo shoot cost about ¥8,000. 🐯💸

Old Town was so colorful and adorable.
If I had more time, I would have loved to see all the shops. 💐
If you're going to Old Town, I recommend planning your trip with ample time!

I read reviews about this newly opened hotel, so I decided to book and stay there. My first impression was very positive as the staff were extremely polite, attentive, and handled issues calmly. The room decor reflects Veranda's style—not overly luxurious but very pleasant to the eyes. They even provide cute woven hats for guests to borrow. Overall, the hotel's atmosphere is excellent, with beautiful decorations, multiple swimming pools that enhance the relaxing vibe, and a peaceful environment perfect for unwinding. While the nearby beach may not be very picturesque, the seaside pool compensates for it, offering a great spot to enjoy the sea view. The food was decent, likely adjusted to suit international guests with a milder flavor. The desserts were delicious, and the fish was very fresh. This is a hotel I would definitely return to if I visit Phuket again.

Kathu Mining Site in Phuket was once a significant tin mining area in the past. Today, the site has been transformed into a conservation and educational tourist destination, showcasing the mining lifestyle.

✨ Overall Atmosphere
• The surrounding area still features mountains and natural scenery as a backdrop, creating a peaceful ambiance and evoking memories of the mining town's prosperous days.
• Inside, there are old mining ponds from the past. The water in these ponds often appears bluish-green due to sedimentation of minerals and soil.
• Some corners display ancient mining tools and stories, offering a glimpse into the lives of locals during Phuket's tin mining boom.
• The atmosphere is quiet and not crowded, making it ideal for those interested in learning local history and capturing natural scenic photos.

📸 Highlight: The photo spot by the old mining pond, where reflections of mountains and the sky create a unique and charming view.

When you visit Phuket, don't just stick to the beaches—make sure to check out the Old Town too!✨
It took less than an hour from Phuket Airport to get there!
Since it's a bit further in, it might be a good idea to visit first if you arrive during the day. (^^)

The colorful streets will lift your spirits just by walking around, and there are plenty of wall art and cute cafes to explore!📸
There’s so much delicious food, and this buttery, toasted bread was absolutely amazing😍

During the day, you can enjoy strolling around and shopping, and at night, you can indulge in local gourmet delights at the market. It's simply the best.

This is a spot where you can discover a different side of Phuket, apart from the resorts.🌴🌺

With excellent facilities, this place lets you enjoy a resort-like atmosphere all day long. ✨
Loosen your senses by the infinity pool while gazing out at the ocean, and the kids' club is packed with fun activities for kids.
The fully-equipped fitness center and spa are sure to refresh your mind and body. (^^)
There are also restaurants and bars along the beach!
Enjoy Thai and international cuisine with stunning ocean views right in front of you. 🍹
This luxurious resort combines tropical nature with comfortable facilities. 🌴

The breakfast buffet was also incredibly delicious. 😀
We highly recommend the Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa, Nai Yang Beach!
