Last weekend, my girlfriend and I went on a vacation to Suan Phueng. And because this trip was very sudden, we couldn't book any of the popular accommodations there because they were all fully booked.
And by chance, we came across The Location Resort, which still had rooms available. However, there was very little information and photos of the resort available online. During the booking process, we hesitated whether to book or not, fearing that it might not be worth it overall. In the end, we decided to book the resort because it had a swimming pool, which my partner was very keen on.
On this trip, we didn't expect much in terms of the beauty of the place and the service we received. However, this newly opened resort will be good or not, is it worth the price or not? You can follow our feelings here.
The Location Resort is located about 2 kilometers from Latoscana, on a small hill. As far as I could see, there are two sections of rooms: the one where I stayed, which is located at the front and resembles a typical hotel, and the one on the top, which looks quite luxurious. The top section has both private villas and what appears to be a swimming pool exclusive to that zone. However, I did not walk up to see it, as I was concerned about disturbing the guests in that zone, and it seemed that some parts were still under construction. Therefore, I will not mention the details of the accommodation in that zone.
The brochure in the first picture shows the room in the zone where I stayed. The second picture shows the zone above, which I did not visit.
At that moment, I felt very satisfied with the atmosphere inside the resort. It was very quiet and private. As soon as we got out of the car, it was as if everyone who was staying at the resort was a VIP guest. To get to our room, there was a car similar to a golf cart that carried our luggage and transported guests who were staying there, so we didn't have to walk up against the force of gravity.
The moment I stepped into the room, the ambiance and the view from the balcony simply took my breath away. I felt an overwhelming desire to stay put and make the most of the relaxing atmosphere and the stunning vista. The thought of leaving the room seemed almost unbearable.
The resort's swimming pool offers breathtaking views of the lush Tanawsi mountain range, which stretches out in front of the resort without any obstructions.
After packing our belongings in the room and finishing lunch, we immediately rushed down to the swimming pool. The afternoon air was quite hot and muggy, as if a thunderstorm was about to arrive.
As we had both predicted, after swimming to cool off for a while, a thunderstorm suddenly arrived. However, it did not frighten us in the least.
Just think, if you're already wet in the pool, what's there to be afraid of in the rain? Plus, you get the beautiful scenery of the raindrops and the thin, white mist after the rain, which adds to the refreshing feeling.
Our leisure activities during our vacation here are not very diverse. Just swimming, enjoying the view, and relaxing without thinking about anything is enough to make us feel very relaxed. Until the next morning, a beautiful view of the mist from the rainy season came to visit us right on the balcony of our room, making me jump out of bed and head straight for my camera.
This is a beautiful view that I didn't expect to see here at this time of year. Perhaps it's because of the humidity from the rain yesterday evening that we're seeing this thin white mist from our room.
This kind of atmosphere, with the slightly cool air at that time, made me think of a cup of coffee immediately. It might not be related at all, but I felt like I had to go make a cup of coffee right now and sit and drink it while looking at the view in front of me.
The soft morning light, unobstructed by clouds or rain, is just as beautiful as the popular winter viewpoints in Thailand. Although it may not be as stunning, it is extremely rare to find such a sight near Bangkok during the rainy season.
Before the sun became too strong, we went down to swim again, enjoying the view of the sea of fog in front of the pool. But that morning, the water was very, very cold.
As the morning mist began to fade and the sunlight grew stronger, the colors in the sky and the view around the pool became even more vibrant.
After leaving the pool, we prepared to return to the capital, back to the hustle and bustle. Along the way, we stopped at many popular places, just like the ones we could read about and see pictures of in the forum threads on this website. These included Latoscana and The Scenery Farm.
And lastly, Alpaca hill, which reviews in various places can be easily found on the Pantip forum. And lastly, I would like to say that I am very satisfied and feel that it is very worthwhile to come and relax at Suan Phueng and The Location Resort. In terms of the quality and service of the staff.
