✿✿✿ In winter, who goes to the sea? ✿✿✿



During the winter season, many people choose to travel to the north of Thailand to experience the cool weather, mist, and flowers. However, our family decided to do something different.

This winter, I took my family to the south of Thailand with Bangkok Airways, an award-winning airline. We experienced the white sand beaches and turquoise waters of Koh Rok, provided by Love Andaman. We relaxed and cuddled with teddy bears at Foto Hotel and enjoyed delicious food at Ruen Pisek, where every dish was extraordinary.

Our journey began at Suvarnabhumi Airport, where we boarded the Airport Rail Link, a convenient and efficient mode of transportation that avoided traffic congestion. We proceeded to check in, drop off our luggage, and select our seats.


After finishing, we went to the lounge to wait. We woke up early and haven't eaten anything yet, so let's find something to eat first. My daughter was so happy when she saw the slide.

After playing for a while, I felt hungry and devoured three rice dumplings.

It's time to depart. Let's take a commemorative photo with the blue bear. After boarding the plane, the flight attendants distributed notebooks.


My daughter absolutely loves these stickers (they're her favorite). She wasn't interested in the food, so I doubled the order.

We arrived in Phuket in no time. My daughter's face, however, didn't seem too happy. Haha!

After receiving the bag, we bought a van ticket for 150 baht per person, which is more economical than a taxi and takes us directly to the hotel. We arrived at the hotel around noon.
The room was not ready yet, so we took photos in the lobby, which the hotel calls the Memories Hall. Everyone who comes here takes photos. In the lobby, there are Macs and snacks available all day long. If you want to go to the beach, you can also contact the hotel. There is a shuttle bus that runs on a regular schedule.

After taking some photos, the staff informed us that our room was ready. We were excited and headed to the luggage storage room. Our accommodation for the three days and two nights was the Ozone Hall.


The view of the trees and mountains is breathtaking. In fact, this is my wife's and my third time staying here.

Returning once again because my daughter wanted to see the bears. Each visit is never the same, with new and exciting things to discover every time we stay.


The highlights of this accommodation include exceptionally comfortable beds, a complimentary minibar in the refrigerator, and a cuddly teddy bear in every room for guests to enjoy each night.

This time around, it's a pity that there's no bathtub on the balcony. I can't soak in the water with my wife, but that's not a problem. The main purpose is to bring my daughter on a trip.

Packing is done, let's take a nap to recharge. Tonight will be our daughter's time.

Waking up at four in the afternoon, my daughter immediately changed her clothes and prepared to go swimming. On the way to the pool, we stopped by the spa and souvenir shop. For those who didn't bring their swimsuits, don't worry, there are plenty to choose from here.

The rooftop houses a swimming pool and a restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Silhouette pool is a popular gathering spot for guests.


Featuring a white marble swimming pool with stunning sea views, this location also offers breathtaking sunset vistas.

Accompanied by her daughter, she had no chance to sit and watch the sunset. Instead, she had to take her daughter to play in the water, where she splashed around like a minnow in water, giggling and running around the pool.


Seeing my daughter so happy fills my heart with joy. This is a precious moment for my family. We had a wonderful time playing in the water.

It's getting late. Let's go upstairs to shower, get dressed, and have dinner. We've used up a lot of energy.

We had dinner at Tiffin Mama, a restaurant located next to the swimming pool. The interior is decorated with vintage kitchenware, creating a stylish and photogenic ambiance.

Alternatively, one can choose to sit outdoors and enjoy the cool breeze while watching the sunset. Additionally, female guests can enjoy swimming in the pool, which changes color periodically.


This provides a different atmosphere.

While waiting for our food, we took some family photos and admired the view of the swimming pool at night.


The food we ordered was just one dish per person. My daughter had chicken satay, my wife had crab fried rice, and I had pork stir-fried rice.


Watermelon juice for my daughter and wife, and mango juice for me. The food portions are very large and worth the price.

After a satisfying meal, it's time to head to bed. We stopped by Memories Hall to take some photos and soak in the atmosphere of the night. This place is perfect for capturing stunning photos, both during the day and at night.
For tonight, I bid you farewell and head to bed. I'm exhausted from playing in the water with my daughter this evening. Haha!


Good morning from the second day of our relaxing stay at Foto! Today, we woke up a little later and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast without worrying about the food running out or closing early. The restaurant here serves breakfast until 1 pm, so you can even combine breakfast and lunch if you like.

The restaurant offers both buffet and à la carte options. There is a wide variety of food to choose from, including rice porridge, dim sum, American breakfast, and bread.


A breakfast buffet featuring cereal, salad, tea, coffee, juice, and a variety of daily specials. Enjoy a hearty and diverse meal to start your day.

After finishing our meal, we decided to take a walk to aid digestion. Upon returning to our room, we found that the housekeeper had cleaned and tidied everything perfectly.


The father and daughter fell asleep while watching cartoons together.

I woke up in the afternoon, and it was time for my daughter again. She insisted on going swimming, so I changed her clothes and we went. Today, we had an inflatable ring that was easy to use. We didn't need to inflate it; we just had to shake it to fill it with air and then roll it up. It was as easy as that to have a lifebuoy.

It seems that my wife is enjoying herself more than our daughter. The main activity of our family trip this time is playing in the water. When we are here, we are either in our room or in the swimming pool.


Prem's daughter had a lot of fun playing in the water on this trip.

After playing for a while, we invited our daughter to take a bath and have dinner together. For dinner, we opted for convenience and decided to stay in the hotel.


Each person will receive a single dish, as usual. After eating, we must quickly pack our belongings and go to sleep in preparation for our trip to Koh Rok tomorrow.

Good morning on the third day of my trip to Phuket. I woke up early today, packed my bags, had breakfast, and prepared to go to Koh Rok.


Taking a picture as a souvenir. If I have the chance, I will come back again.

A van picked us up at 7:00 AM to take us to the Pa Sang Pier. We arrived at the pier at 8:00 AM, checked in, and received our wristbands. We waited for other guests while enjoying snacks and drinks provided. The waiting area was spacious and the restrooms were clean.

8:45 AM, it's time to depart for Koh Rok. This is my daughter's second visit, but this time is different from the previous solo trip.


This time, however, she came for free. Haha, my daughter seems to be very excited. It's a good thing she didn't get seasick or cry. She was all smiles throughout the trip.

The journey takes approximately 1.45 minutes. The boat begins to slow down, signaling our arrival at Koh Rok. Looking out from the boat,


She said to herself, "Oh my god, it's still beautiful. The water is so clear, and the beach isn't crowded. It's just as beautiful as before. This is my fourth time here."

Despite my frequent visits, I am still awestruck by the beauty of the southern seas. Imagine the astonishment of first-time visitors to this breathtaking coastline.

The allure of Koh Rok that I particularly appreciate is its serene beaches, devoid of throngs of tourists. This tranquility allows for picturesque photographs and an uncrowded atmosphere, with the beach stretching out in a long, uninterrupted line.


To provide more space for taking photos and relaxing, the boat will stop for 15 minutes. Passengers who need to use the restroom or who are not going snorkeling can disembark on the island first.

While my wife and daughter stayed on the island, I rushed to the headland to take some photos. It was a worthwhile 15 minutes, as I captured many beautiful images.

After finishing, we took a boat trip for less than 5 minutes to reach the first diving spot. I am truly sorry that I accidentally deleted the photos and videos on my GoPro camera. Almost everything is gone, and I could only recover a few. It was such a pity that I almost cried. The first dive lasted 45 minutes, which felt like it went by very quickly.

It's time for lunch. The park will provide lunch. Please take one plate each and clean up after yourselves.


Our lunch menu consists of fried chicken, stir-fried vegetables, and green curry. If you're not full, you can always have more. Another charm that I like is the dessert and beverage line.

Love Andaman is known for its extravagant and impressive events, which have become a hallmark of the brand. This has inspired numerous companies to emulate and follow their lead.

After lunch, my daughter couldn't wait to go swimming. We rushed to change into our swimsuits and headed to the beach at Koh Rok. The bathrooms were surprisingly clean. My daughter was so excited that she was jumping and dancing, her smile stretching from ear to ear.

Water and children are truly a perfect match. Whenever they get to play in the water, they seem so happy. Parents who are able, I would encourage you to bring your children to experience the sea at least once.


Meeting them in person was an invaluable experience. The time we spent together was truly joyful and precious.

After lunch, we have 2 hours left on the island to enjoy swimming and taking photos to our heart's content.


Snorkeling in front of the beach is a great option, as the coral reefs there are just as beautiful as those at Koh Rok Noi.


The dessert and beverage line served delicious treats continuously until we boarded the return boat. Let me elaborate on the dessert and beverage line. There were brownies, shredded egg yolk cake, canapés, crunchy snacks, cookies, candies, marshmallows, fruit juices, Italian sodas, and soft drinks. Oh my! My daughter ran back and forth between these two places: the food line and the water play area.

Around two in the afternoon, the guide called us to board the boat. We then set off for the Five Islands, which was the second diving spot.


The diving spots at Koh 5 are truly spectacular, rivaling the beauty of the Surin Islands. Expect to spend around 45 minutes underwater.

The five islands offer stunning coral reefs and abundant fish life, making an hour of snorkeling insufficient to explore their wonders. We returned to the pier at 3:30 PM.


5:00 PM: Arrive at Paesang Pier. Change clothes in the bathroom and take a van to a special restaurant for dinner. This is for those who have finished diving.


To ensure a smooth return trip, it is advisable to book a flight departing after 8 pm, as Phuket's traffic can be unpredictable. It's better to be safe than sorry.

I will be on vacation for another 3 days and 2 nights.

The journey from the pier to the Special Shop takes less than 30 minutes. As the name suggests, the Special Shop is truly special. Their slogan, "Small is not, big is done," perfectly captures their essence. (This slogan was created by me.) One of their signature offerings is the incredibly large and impressive bubble tea.

The dishes I recommend are grilled pork with jaew dipping sauce, yam ya nat, shabu hotpot, and spicy instant noodles with overflowing ingredients. It's a good thing we didn't just come with three people.


Otherwise, you definitely won't be able to finish it.

After a savory meal, how can you resist dessert? The high-quality ingredients are imported from abroad. The overall taste is delicious. My favorite menu is the shabu-shabu hot pot set. I really like it. If you come to Phuket, try this restaurant. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Come and enjoy this special restaurant with special people.


Our bellies are full and we are ready to hit the hay. Time to head back to our accommodation.

This vacation was made possible by Bangkok Airways, Foto Hotel, Love Andaman, and Special Restaurant. It was another wonderful experience for my family. We had a lot of fun, ate well, slept soundly, and enjoyed the trip. My daughter was happy, and as parents, we couldn't ask for more. Thank you to everyone who read about our family's happiness on this trip. ✿✿✿✿✿ Thank you. ✿✿✿✿✿
